In this update, we’ve focused on enhancing the crew’s experience with new needs and interior items.
Fun Need
A new "Fun" need has been introduced for the crew, along with small and medium items to boost fun. In future updates, traits will be added, allowing crew members to enjoy their favorite activities even more.
One of these fun items is the interactive starmap screen, where the crew can explore the galaxy. This screen will also enhance the room’s environment in upcoming iterations.
Another lager one is a home computer where the crew can play games.
Fitness Need
To further enhance the fun, we've added the Treadmill, which not only increases the fun value but also boosts the newly added "Fitness" stat for crew members.
The fitness level impacts each person’s maximum carry capacity (ranging from 50kg to 300kg per slot) and their walking speed.
Walking Speed
Crew members now have varied walking speeds on the ship. It's essential to assign tasks carefully, as speed is now influenced by factors like fitness, mood, gravity, and the items being carried. Heavy or large objects will significantly slow them down.
Social Need
We’ve introduced a new social need for the crew. When this need decreases, crew members will actively seek out conversations. In future updates, relationships like friendships will develop through social interactions.
Another way to boost social interactions is by doing activities together. A medium-sized table that seats four people has been added, allowing crew members to eat and socialize. This ties into the day schedule from the last update, so now it's more effective to plan shared mealtimes.
Additionally, new animations were created, and many small animation logic issues were fixed in the process.
Other New Items
To support the large amounts of methane and other gases needed for long trips, we’ve added massive gas storage containers.
Once constructed, these containers can be assigned to different resource types.
We’ve also introduced a new storage item for liquids, which currently stores water and waste water. This system is ready to handle new liquids that may be added in future updates.
