v0.150

Startron v0.150 has been released!

Tweaks & updates

  • Sunlight absorbers have finally been rebalanced so other power sources are necessary
  • Added a new gas extractor addon
  • Added cosmos colour variants
  • Added squished-mode to the Unity emulator so Steam users with resolutions under the minimum requirements can play
  • Other ships now sometimes leave crop circles in grass
  • Material/debris/scrap/junk contents are now less flighty
  • You can now attempt to steal fuel from other ships (success depends on size and quality of crew and whether you're trying your luck against a pirate)
  • Added salvage yards (new 3D interior with a new shop) [These will make their way into old saves if you've still got a reasonable portion of the cosmos unexplored]
  • Added a couple more wall adverts
  • Added dark ships (new 3D interior) & dyson spheres
  • Added another April fools joke
  • Star colours now show on the cosmos view so it's a little less monochrome

  • Added an unlockable shopping centre superstructure (new huge 3D interior)
  • Added an unlockable lair superstructure
  • Added ferns to go with grass and trees [These will make their way into old saves if you've still got a reasonable portion of the cosmos unexplored]
