In this patch, we added construction materials, security task, gear crafting station (with shiv), and currency display in the HUD. Also added a new permission UI for controlling colonists. The arbitrary "square" base boundary has been removed, and…
Added construction materials, security task, gear crafting station (with shiv), and currency display in the HUD. Also added a new permission UI for controlling colonists. Part of the intent with these balancing changes is to make the game a bit more challenging by removing your god-like ability to always control your colonists. The arbitrary "square" base boundary has been removed, and you can…
Added galaxy map, traders, and space whales. Going forward, more "life" will continue to be added to the galaxy map. In order to travel, you need "Starfuel", click on the local star in the starmap to create a "star fuel station". Traders sell a bit of everything: Changes · Added galaxy map. Warp around using starfuel. Hauler now starts unlocked. · Construct star fuel stations at stars (in the s…

The Starship Update is live! It’s been a long time since our last “formal” blog post. These posts take a long time to create. We’ve been very busy working on Starmancer. It’s just the two of us, so for a post like this to be created, one of us has to stop working on Starmancer and instead do these sorts of things. I’d really like to get back to writing these and we fully intend to. For full pat…

Big changes in this patch are the "explore" job task, C4 is now craftable at the Chem Station, increased moonshine spawn, and new cheats for spawning colonists, leveling up colonists, and spawning monsters. Changes - Added…
Starmancer’s biggest update, The Wilderness is out now! Leave the comforts of your space station to loot asteroids and derelict ships across the galaxy. Hunt for resources, take on territorial monsters, and avoid alien… probing?! Advance your ship using your newfound space booty and experiment with forbidden technologies. You might even adopt a wandering Space Colonist - but be careful, you nev…
The update is coming together great, and now we’re looking for your feedback to help push it across the finish line. The Wilderness adds asteroids and abandoned stations around the player’s base, new enemies, new skills, new cosmetics, improved combat, numerous quality-of-life fixes, and more. We also fixed many many bugs and improved gameplay balance. The new mechanics lay a new foundation for…
Hey everyone, it’s been far too long since our last post! We’re adding asteroids and stations around the player’s base! These asteroids have all the resources, monsters, entities, and random events that previously spawned on the station. It might not look like much at the moment, but we're laying the foundation for adding a ton of content in the future. Different asteroid types, derelict ships,…
- Fixed a bug where the game would crash when dead colonists formed relationships (We're working on Asteroids, but we're still looking at all the incoming bugs and hotfixing the bad ones)

You can see this and help shape the game on the weekly dev stream. Every Friday at 11:00am (GMT-4. New York City Timezone) Weekly Dev Stream Link Here's a WIP image of resource nodes: Patch Notes - Fi…
More bug fixes. Looking to start working on new content once all these bugs are handled. Please keep using the in-game report tool. We do read them and it automatically uploads your save file, which makes fixing bugs much much easier for us. Thanks! - Tyler Patch Notes - Colonists will now remove bugged out carried items (like when they all start carrying bread or fish). - Log messages will now…

What’s up, Starmancers? Can you believe we’ve almost reached the end of the year? It’s been a busy time for us with the launch of Starmancer into Early Access and the initial period of development. We’ve tackled a lot of bugs, tweaked the balance of mechanics, and added in some fun new content. Starmancer has grown so much in such a short space of time and there’s plenty more to come in the new…
New Stuff - Every item in the game is now technically edible. And by that, I mean that your colonists can eat it and the item disappears--in exchange for liver damage. (and if you have preview off, colonist's don't even have livers). - Colonists can now drag and drop each other - Unconscious colonists are no longer context orderable - Added a context option for waking up a sleeping colonist (by…
