Hey! Version 0.5 Is now Live! @Station Engineer

With this update we bring 2 new large features The Storms and The Postcard

The Storm

If you stand in place for too long the storm will catch up with you and start dealing damage to your HULL! So keep that coal topped up and your furnace fixed up or the storm will catch you!


Each zone has its own unique storm effect.

And in the coming updates we will introduce ways to make the storm even deadlier through the loading bay!

The Postcard

Gone is the boring old end of run screen, in comes the postcard, a place where you can now clearly see run stats, analyze module performance and check out new unlocks!
