Patch 1.2: Asteroid Saving + More Fixes

Hey all!

Another patch for Helionaut fixing a bunch of issues. Here's the changelog:


  • Fixed a crash when saving/loading on an asteroid.
  • Prevented a softlock when shipwrecked where you wouldn't have enough screws to repair the ship. Now you cannot craft anything else before you repair the ship.
  • Fixed the atmosphere wobble shader from sticking on the screen when there's no planet.
  • The "home" marker now shows "extract marker" as text, making the first computer harder to miss.
  • Added a "jump in (space)" message tip when you haven't jumped into the ship for the first time.
  • Fixed a duplication error for the triangle block on the home planet.
  • Fixed a crash when jetpacking really high & picking up resources that are in space.
  • (Hopefully) fixed a crash when picking up an item at the same frame as a robot, then killing that robot


For anyone with a corrupted savefile after saving on an asteroid: this patch should recover the savefile! Download the new version and open the savefile to recover it.

Thanks for playing!

Patch 1.0.1: Achievements + Screenshots

Hi all!

Letting you know that I've just pushed an update that fixes the Steam Achievements for Helionaut on Windows, and also fixes a crash that sometimes happens after saving & quitting. The OSX version should already have working achievements, but let me know if that's not the case.

I've also implemented the Steam Screenshot function: press F12 to make a screenshot!

Thanks for playing!
