Hello all you lovely AIs out there!

With this small update we bring you some long awaited outposts and with it the ability to finally mine rare resources like silver, tungsten, gold and platinum! ːsteamhappyː
(More Outposts will still be added with future updates)

We've also made stars on the starmap slightly bigger and their names hopefully a bit more readable together with some other minor UI polishing for the miners.

We've also made Steam Leaderboards public, so you can now see how you compare globally and with your friends in Steam yourself. Just click on your Steam Achievements and in the upper right you have a drop down for "Personal/Global Leaderboards" :)

On top of that we took another look at the Cryo Tower GPU Performance and were able to increase their GPU performance further from 30fps with 6 Towers to 60fps with 8 Towers firing their AoE simultaneously.

Before:

After:


As you can see in the lower picture, the performance spikes (those green/blue mountains in the bottom) are much lower and consistent than before.
If you had fps drops from the Cryo Tower AoE before, let us know if this increased the performance for you aswell.

We wish all of you a happy and relaxing easter and hope to see you on the next update!

Features

  • Added a new Outpost: Cetazed - Unlocked after beating Level 9 (Glaviros III)
  • Added a new Outpost: Purtauri - Unlocked after beating Level 10 (Cadesia)
  • Added a new Outpost: Auridian - Unlocked after beating Level 11 (Karasir)
  • Public Steam Leaderboards

Items

  • The Cable (Gold) recipe now produces 2 instead of 1 cable.

Misc/Bugfixes

  • Improved visibility of planets on the fleet and outpost map.
  • Polished the Miner building UI a bit.
  • Some minor translation and button spacing fixes.
  • Added a small floor to the interstellar building to make better visibile, where to put grabbers.

As always hit us up on Discord or in the Steam discussions and let us know what you think or miss!

Community10 May 2026All quiet on the Astra frontHello all you lovely AIs out there! Again it's been quiet around the 2.0 update and again we are very sorry for that! There's no sugar coating it, we sucked at least at 3 things: Posting news, keeping patches focused in scope and estimating how much time we'll have to work on it...

First of all, we wanted to let you know that we have finished most of the major features and systems that we wanted to overhaul or introduce with the 2.0 update and are now in the process of adding the last bit of content, balancing, and polishing. It'll still take some time and we don't want to pin down a release date yet. However, since we are changing so m…
