Update 0.100 Radiation
We reached version 0.100! A long journey lies behind us, and the game keeps improving. In this iteration, radiation was added as a new gameplay element.
Radiation
As always, I aimed to use scientifically accurate values. Radiation in space comes mainly from solar activity and cosmic rays. While in Earth's orbit, you're still partially protected by the planet's magnetic field—but that protection is much weaker than on the surface. Once the ship leaves orbit, radiation becomes a much greater threat.
Radiation Dose
Radiation is now measured as a dose per crew member. Higher doses reduce walking and working speed. Very high doses damage health and can eventually lead to death. You'll need to carefully manage exposure to keep your crew safe.
Protection – Steel
There are now different ways to improve radiation protection. One of them is the ship's hull. A second room type is now available, using more resources but offering better passive shielding through improved construction. To support this, the Room Editor received a major overhaul.
Protection – Water
Rooms can now include water storage in the hull, providing additional passive shielding. You can install a Water Pump to fill or empty the hull space with water. Water is a highly effective material for blocking space radiation and adds another layer of defense.
Protection – Magnetic Fields
As a high-tech solution, you can build a Magnetic Field Generator. It consumes a lot of energy but provides powerful protection, especially useful during critical radiation events.
Sun Eruption
The regular radiation level in space is manageable, but there are also solar events that pose serious risks. These include solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs)—massive bursts of radiation released by the sun. Minor events may only cause discomfort or minor slowdowns, but larger eruptions can be deadly without strong protection. Planning ahead and using the right shielding methods will be crucial for survival.

Update 0.99 Events and Sound
After a longer break without updates, we're back! The reason: a big move back to Germany. Everything is now up and running again, and development has continued. The main focus of this update: events – dynamic situations that affect gameplay in interesting ways.
Big Event
Events now occur randomly over time and can include multiple effects at once. For example, supply routes from Earth might get disrupted: storage can be reduced, production priorities may shift, or certain resources may temporarily increase in cost. Think of a steel factory back on Earth breaking down – suddenly, your ship has to adapt.
Improved Person Skills
Crew skills are now more flexible and evolve with your progress. Early in the game, new crew members don’t demand much in terms of living conditions. As you achieve major objectives, better-trained crew will arrive. Some events can also lead to better—or worse—personnel joining your mission.
Item Slot Boxes
To improve clarity, there are now dedicated boxes for item slot resources. These can be crafted at the workbenches and help keep things organized.
Temporary Item Slots
Based on tester feedback, item slots for crew have received several improvements. Oxygen masks are now only used when really needed. Rescue crew can also place masks on unconscious team members, allowing for more realistic and life-saving behavior.
Sound
A major new system: sound! This update introduces new audio systems that bring the world to life, with sounds for both crew and interior items. It adds atmosphere and makes your ship feel more alive.
Bad Air Alert
The lighting system has been reworked and now allows for more flexible color control. Rooms with toxic air will now pulse with an orange warning light. On top of that, an alert sound will play in each affected room, prompting the crew to equip their oxygen masks in time.
Smaller Things
Beyond the big features, the loading system has been optimized for larger save games, and many small fixes and adjustments have been made under the hood.
