Just a minor update because we weren't satisfied with the previous destruction System of the base parts so we made this one using destructible meshes and we think that this works much better than the other one.
The only downside is that destructible meshes take more space on hard drive than the previous system but we will handle this with some cleaning and rationalization of the assets packaged during next updates.
Here you can see the system working:

We have also fixed the autosave that was bugged and couldn't really be disabled. Now it should work fine.
Next patch is scheduled for sunday or monday and we will keep updating the base parts that are not working as intended (like the elevator :/ ) and items that are missing icons etc.
Thank you for your patience
Version 6.5 is Now Live!
New Updated version 6.5 is now Live and this is what we have modified:
- Hud is continously under improvement. It's now clearer to read and we added quick tooltips for keys to press and more decent notifies for both items collected or dropped and for gameplay notifications
- We are also working on the building system and we made some major modifies to the placement system and to the destruction system of the buildings that now simulate better the collapse of the structure when a foundation or a key structure is destroyed.
There'are still a lot of improvements to be made but now it should be usable without game breaking problems.
- We slightly changed the laser weapon aiming because it was impossible to center something, now with right mouse button you can use a weapon camera to simulate a viewfinder. Also now weapons can hurt Ai astronauts and they can eventually die and then ragdoll. They aren't so smart at the moment but A) we have to keep a low performance cost on these in case you have a lot of Ai driven characters in your base B) this is a starting point for the ai that is going to be improved a lot.
- Minor bug fixes (you can find a more detailed list in game clicking the button "Current Game Version")
Because there's still a lot of work to do we will keep updating the game almost daily until all the game basic mechanincs will work as intended.
As usual, if you find a bug please report it, you can also do it in-game in a few seconds under the "HELP" panel that can also be used for suggestions for features you want to be in the game.
