Hey Space Travelers,
There's been a bit of radio silence, so it’s time to lift the curtain and show what's coming in the next major update.
The focus of the update will be space travel and space-related story events. The current space travel mechanics are undergoing a significant rewrite. Here are some of the changes:
- Space will be divided into Regions and Sectors with varying difficulty and content.
- Space travel will happen through instant hyperspace jumps between linked locations.
- Fuel will be required to perform these hyperjumps.
- Space-related story events, such as Asteroids, Meteoroid Showers, Dust Storms, etc., will be tied to specific locations rather than appearing randomly. You’ll be able to prepare, manage risk, and encounter these events on your own terms.
These changes will have a large ripple effect on overall gameplay and will require significant rebalancing and thorough playtesting. As always, your ideas and suggestions are welcome!
I'll be asking for the help of brave adventurers willing to try this update before everyone else. The update is halfway there - stay tuned for more news!

This was the 7th iteration of the UI. The first 6 are briefly documented in the art book ( The Journey DLC ), which will eventually be appended with the 7th iteration too. Let’s shine a light on some of the details for you, which should hopefully address some of the criticism the new UI has received. Colla…The new UI is ready for public testing!What's up, everyone!
