Do you like classical old-school manuals? Due to the sheer amount of details not properly explained in HARD VOID, I am working on a pdf manual detailing many of the internal mechanics. It is not complete yet, but i will be updating regularly to include more details, lore, and other stuff, alongside development.
Here is a list of planned major features for HARD VOID release. The order is approximate, and may change. The final decision on when to implement the features is based on keeping the gameplay coherence and making development easier/faster. The pseudo-roadmap will be updated later, adding more features or expanding current ones, as soon has its clear how to integrate and commit to them. Feel fre…

Fixes: · Fixed bug that stuck the enemy AI production frequently. · Rehauled auto build/produce algorithm for production and build selection. · Fixed Titanium production chain bug other known issues working on: · Not following the tutorial precisely (wandering menus/screens) may crash the game.
In a previous update, the astros irradiation was increased without taking into account habitability penalties. This caused out-of-range value bugs and even showing '?' habitability in fully explored astros. To fix this, the habitability penalties due to irradiation were greatly reduced and adjusted for the new irradiation value range.
