Heliopolis Six

• We have introduced a new module, the RTG.
  
  This module produces and stores power and replaces the battery in the Pioneer from the outset when the distance to the sun is great, for example in orbit around Mars. The RTG module uses the new resource ‘Radioactive Isotopes’ for operation.
  
  These isotopes can be found on asteroids.
  
  
• Another new feature is that residents can now be moved manually between living quarters. This gives you more flexibility in managing your settlement.
  
• We have also added side quests. Smaller quests may appear from time to time, offering additional challenges and rewards.
  Note: Currently there are still few side quests, but we are working on adding more.
