Update 0.98 Room Levels

10. nov. 2024

This update brings added depth to crew quarters, significant performance optimizations, and substantial gameplay enhancements.

Residence Mood

Crew members now have expectations regarding their accommodations, with room requirements based on skill levels. High-skilled workers need higher room levels, and their mood is influenced by the room's setup and the presence of liked or disliked items in their quarters.

Room Level

Room levels now range from 1 to 5 stars, determined by the room’s appearance, available space, and the number of residents.

Appearance

A new "Appearance" value reflects the room’s aesthetic quality. Many items can positively or negatively impact this value, with some decor items designed solely for visual appeal. A new system lets textures and models be switched, paving the way for future additions.

Sculptures and plants have also been introduced.

Cleanliness

Room cleanliness now degrades with occupancy, impacted further by certain items or hazards like fire. This is visually represented by accumulating dirt in the room.

Everyone on board can now help clean, adding another task to the ship's duties.

Currently, cleanliness only affects visuals, but it will later impact the risk of illness, especially during eating or drinking.

Efficiency improvements

Crew members can now boost item efficiency as a new task. Each workable item has an efficiency value that can be improved based on skill requirements; for example, enhancing a greenhouse’s efficiency requires biology skills.

Thought Bubbles

To help players understand work delays and crew issues, thought bubbles now appear briefly above crew members. These bubbles indicate why tasks are interrupted or why a crew member may be slow due to low mood or skills.

No more InteriorItemBoxes

A major change: interior item boxes are now removed. After positive playtest feedback, items are now constructed directly at their placement instead of at the workbench, reducing storage needs and simplifying gameplay.

Performance

Finally, performance received a major boost. With many new tasks added for cleaning and efficiency, task load on larger ships was high. By minimizing recalculations and introducing a more efficient pathfinding algorithm with pre-calculations, path checking is now faster and more precise. On larger ships, speed increased dramatically from around 3 minutes per second to nearly 3 hours per second.

Update 0.97 Crew Traits

22. sep. 2024

This update adds more individuality to each crew member. They now have specific likes, dislikes, and unique traits.

General Traits

Crew members now have various traits that significantly impact their behavior. These traits fall into different categories such as General, Social, Free Time, and more. They influence aspects like work speed, movement speed, sleep needs, and much more.

Likes and Dislikes

Crew members now have personal preferences for activities and interior items. Depending on whether they like or dislike something, their enjoyment will affect their satisfaction levels while interacting with those activities or items.

Recruit Crew Generator

The crew generator has been improved. It can now create new crew members with a specified rating and balance their traits, skills, and fitness levels, allowing you to select members that best fit the current needs of your ship.

Work Speed

Crew work speed has been standardized with a unified calculation, now displayed in the UI. Various factors affect work speed, such as traits, mood, and skills. You can now easily track these factors.

Interior Item Efficiency

To keep your crew occupied, an efficiency system has been added to many interior items. This impacts productivity and can be improved by crew members with the right skills. For example, increasing greenhouse efficiency requires botany skills, while the engine demands astronaut skills.

Skill Requirements

In addition to efficiency updates, skill requirements have been adjusted. They are now displayed alongside tasks wherever relevant. Construction and maintenance tasks now require at least level 2 in the appropriate skills, with higher levels improving task speed.

There is also a full overview of what can be achieved with each skill.

Fitness Schedule

You can now schedule dedicated fitness time for crew members to prevent a drop in fitness levels, which can result in slower work performance.

Update 0.96 Advanced Person Needs

6. sep. 2024

In this update, we’ve focused on enhancing the crew’s experience with new needs and interior items.

Fun Need

A new "Fun" need has been introduced for the crew, along with small and medium items to boost fun. In future updates, traits will be added, allowing crew members to enjoy their favorite activities even more.

One of these fun items is the interactive starmap screen, where the crew can explore the galaxy. This screen will also enhance the room’s environment in upcoming iterations.

Another lager one is a home computer where the crew can play games.

Fitness Need

To further enhance the fun, we've added the Treadmill, which not only increases the fun value but also boosts the newly added "Fitness" stat for crew members.

The fitness level impacts each person’s maximum carry capacity (ranging from 50kg to 300kg per slot) and their walking speed.

Walking Speed

Crew members now have varied walking speeds on the ship. It's essential to assign tasks carefully, as speed is now influenced by factors like fitness, mood, gravity, and the items being carried. Heavy or large objects will significantly slow them down.

Social Need

We’ve introduced a new social need for the crew. When this need decreases, crew members will actively seek out conversations. In future updates, relationships like friendships will develop through social interactions.

Another way to boost social interactions is by doing activities together. A medium-sized table that seats four people has been added, allowing crew members to eat and socialize. This ties into the day schedule from the last update, so now it's more effective to plan shared mealtimes.

Additionally, new animations were created, and many small animation logic issues were fixed in the process.

Other New Items

To support the large amounts of methane and other gases needed for long trips, we’ve added massive gas storage containers.

Once constructed, these containers can be assigned to different resource types.

We’ve also introduced a new storage item for liquids, which currently stores water and waste water. This system is ready to handle new liquids that may be added in future updates.

Generelle diskussioner

I'm following and have wishlisted this game and have some questions/suggestions.

The idea of making a large space ship for interstellar journeys is a noble one and I hope will one day happen for real. Since the premise of this game (as I understand it) is to survive till you can reach a new homeworld. That implies an endgame scenario which is appreciated for people (me included) who want to feel closure (a game of chess ends after all). To that end, I'd assume that the default game mode is to survive until planet X is reached in X amount of years. For those who like endless mode, ...

FAQ

Is there a demo? A demo will be available soon. Who composed the music? Music is from an open source, always shown in the game when a new song starts (can be disabled in the options). What were your inspirations? I was always fascinated about space and the science behind and wanted to create a game that is as close at the reality as possible. How much RNG is in the game? Thew crew choose random what they will do next, if two activities are similar. Later also some eve...
