Hey everyone, Today I'm releasing Alpha 15. I was going to release this as an update to Alpha 14 but bumped it due to the amount of balance and refactoring changes. Meaning, this update may play quite a bit different to previous builds.
Don't forget you can still play any previous builds by going to properties > game versions.
As usual, it's extremely helpful reporting your issues either on the discussions here, our forums or our Discord. This helps me to help you in the best and quickest way possible and also ensures your suggestions, balance issues, bugs or anything else you have to say actually gets correctly addressed.
New Items
Add depleted uranium resource.
Add depleted uranium refining recipe.
Improvements
Add filthy ship thought.
Major refactoring done to buildings and blueprints.
Add new incident - Crew rescue.
Rename the powered Airlock door to Automatic Airlock door.
Update zone highlight.
Ensure other blueprints can be placed over cable and ducting.
Change fuel type to Deuterium.
Carbonaceous asteroids need to be mined to gain materials which can be refined inside a refinery to create liquid Deuterium fuel cells.
Ensure main setup menus on game start reset if going back to the main menu.

Balance
Increase time of day by almost 25%.
Adjusted days per month and year to account for the new length of days.

Slightly adjust research and split out the Electric Cooker.
An injury does not always have to be tended before it will stop bleeding. Though someone can still bleed out before that happens.

Wounds will also heal when not resting, just much slower.
