We fixed some internal things and worked on the menus.
We've also sorted out our ideas for the future of Heliopolis Six, weaved in your feedback, and will share the roadmap with you soon.
If you have any suggestions or noticed any bugs, feel free to come to our Discord server or write an email.
See you next week

This week we have introduced warnings.
Now warnings are issued when life support is about to fail. These indicate which resources are running low or for which there is no more space.
Outlook
Next we will add more warnings to the error messages and work on the resident menu and the research order menu.
Until next week

Weekly News

This week we worked on two things.
First thing: We added icons to the resources in the texts, that looks much nicer and so the important things catch your eye better.
The second addition is videos in the tutorial texts. The tutorial is still not up to our expectations, but now maybe some points are easier to understand.
Outlook
Next, we will introduce a warning system that will alert you when life support is about to fail or other hazards appear. In addition to the obligatory text message, there will also be an acoustic signal.
At the same time, we are trying to improve the resident menu and the menu for the research tasks.
Until next week
Patch Notes - v0.3.1/d02
Moin,
we've made a few changes.
Additions
There are resource icons now within the text.
The tutorial had a small review and comes now with videos.
Keyboard Layout and a new dropdown menu
Moin,
it may not be much, but these are the main new features from this week's patch.
There is now the possibility to freely assign all functions to the keyboard as desired.
The selection of processes is now done by a dropdown menu. We think that is clearer and a little more intuitive. Also, there is now the possibility to influence the maximum efficiency a module.
Furthermore, there are now additional status icons in the management menu of the station parts. It is displayed when workstations are not occupied, no process is selected and if there are problems with the resources.

Moin,
we have made a few changes and introduced something new.
New Features

Status icons have been added to the module icons in the station part management menu. They indicate that workstations are not occupied or only partially occupied, if there are problems with the resource supply or if no production process is selected at all.
The slowest speed can be switched with the space bar and the game speed can be adjusted with + and -. This keyboard layout can also be changed.
The maximum efficiency with which a module should produce can be set. (This can be very useful in the event of power shortage)
Bug Fixes
Fixed that the camera continues to move when the quest menu opens and the camera was moved.
Fixed that the game sometimes partially freezes when building power lines.
The calculation of resource flows has been reworked so that unnatural bottlenecks should no longer occur.
