Category: Patch Notes

General

• Fixed various bugs and lock-related issues

• Added locked content (not available in the current playtest)

Gameplay

• Reworked ship placement in docks; a single dock can now store more ships

• Dismantling a control base now returns a base core drive

Due to a save data corruption issue introduced during the last reset, the game has been offline since yesterday. While the bug itself has been fixed, the save data is still corrupted.

At this point, we had two options:

• Spend development time attempting to repair the corrupted save data.

• Perform a new reset and get the game back online in time for the weekend.

We’ve chosen to perform a new reset so we can focus our efforts on moving development forward and provide access again as soon as possible.

This is a decision we’re only making because the game is still in early development. It will not be an option once development progresses further.

We sincerely apologize to the testers who’ve shown so much dedication and made great progress since the last reset.

Thank you all for your understanding and continued support!
