Hi everyone! Here's a small update:
Landing Zone Selection: You can now choose your landing spot on the planet. The game shows which tiles your ship will occupy after landing. Choose wisely — large obstacles might damage your ship, and taking off again could become a real challenge.
Improved Planet Generation: Planet flora and natural features are now generated more consistently. Several bugs related to plant placement and saving have been fixed.
Bug Fixes: A bunch of long-standing bugs have finally been addressed. Nothing too flashy, but the game should feel a bit smoother overall.
Thanks and stay tuned!

It’s now much easier to expand with new types of events, and it already makes the galaxy feel much more alive. When you look at the galactic map, you’ll now see entire empires forming.

Lighting intensity smoothly follows the local time of day – dawn, noon, dusk, and night are now visually distinct. Atmospheric Color The atmosphere tint changes depending on the planet, affecting the color and mood of the sky and terrain throughout the day. Shadows Shadows of large…
