Hello SectorLords! An updated demo has been released just ahead of Steam Next Fest. The updated demo contains a short, more guided advanced tutorial scenario that goes over the basics of Scanning, Anomalies and a few other game mechanics not fully covered in the basic training tutorial.
Here's another peek at what's in store in the early access release coming at the end of the month.
Just like ships, you can add on some specializations to your colonies, which will cost colonists and credits to develop. Some can boost productivity of the colony, or increase its' defensive capabilities, or become strategic hubs of your trading empire with transwarp beacons that allow you to deploy instantly from one colony to another. But be aware, the more developed a colony is, the more attractive it becomes to hostile factions and pirates to raid.
