Update 1.1.0 brings a brand-new way to fight, improvements to turret management, a faster way to manage your miners, a new safety net for the early game, Steam Achievements, and plenty of UI, UX, and economy improvements.
Here's what's new:
🎯 Player-Controlled Aiming
Combat just became a lot more hands-on.
During attack rounds, you're no longer just watching your defenses fight. Take aim with your mouse and fire at enemies yourself!
⚡ Faster Miner Management
Managing your miners is now much easier.
You no longer need to search the map and click on each miner individually just to change what resource they're collecting.
A new Miner Management UI lets you access all your miners from one place, with each miner showing the icon of its currently selected resource.
⚙️ UI, UX & Economy Improvements
We've also made a large number of smaller improvements across the game:
Improved overall UI and UX.
Smoother resource and building management.
Economy balancing improvements.
Reduced unnecessary grind.
Various quality-of-life improvements.
General balancing and polish across the game.
💰 Early-Game Safety Net
The early game should be about learning and building your colony not accidentally putting yourself into an unrecoverable resource crisis.
We've added a minimum resource guarantee each round, giving new players a safety net against a few early mistakes.
You can still make bad decisions. You just won't be punished so hard that the entire run becomes impossible to recover from.
🏆 Steam Achievements
Steam Achievements are now available!
There are new challenges to complete as you expand your colony, survive rounds, build your defenses, and progress through the planets.
THANK YOU!
This update is all about giving you more control, less friction, and a smoother path to building your outpost.
Thank you for playing Cosmic Outpost and for all the feedback you've given us so far.
Good luck out there, Commander. 🪐
