Starship Theory

Updating save data

Future updates should no longer break save games.

Before this change, updating Starship Theory would have required redesigning all enemy ships. This back end change removes this requirement from future updates.

Starting difficulties added

This update adds three starting ships to choose from: an armed military transport (easy), mining frigate (medium) and an escape pod (hard).

Each ship starts with different resource amounts.

Windows, floors, painting and bugs

This update adds windows, new floor textures, new paint options for single tiles, new ships and a number of bug fixes.

New ships, structures and fixes

This update includes an automatic mining turret, larger CPU options, new ships to battle and many bug fixes.

Fire logic improvements

This update includes multiple improvements to firefighting logic.

Thank you all for your feedback and patience!

Trade with me!

The universe is becoming a friendlier place! Update to version 1.0p for increased trade offers and greater XP for scientists and general crew.

Don't forget unhappy workers consume more resources than a happy crew!

Should not break saves. Patch notes here.
