A Shiny New Update

Oct 26, 2022

Update:

It's been a while since the last update but rest assured hard work has been going on behind the scenes.
Coffee fueled hard work!

Learning To Walk

Developer note: Elon is intended to border on difficult but not be overly hard. Space Survival should require a bit of thinking, learning, discovering and possible yes even dying. Which is why most people SKIP the tutorial all together. That said for those that might be interested, The Tutorial has been reworked totally.

Now it is a separate level with tasks oriented to anyone that feels they need a leg up on what to do.
It covers:

Player Movement and Stats
Building Stations and Station Uses
Mining and Refining Ore
Crafting and Hub Building
And how to launch Probes and warp through space

Hub Have Been Hitting The Gym

They have clearly been working out and have a sleek new look.

The corners have all been rounded out, as well as. Tops and Bottoms have been added to provide a more rounded shape. With likely VERY VERY rare exception nothing in space is square, it just didn't feel right the hubs were so square.

Developer Note: A more Square shape helps with the building system correctly aligning newly built items. The closer to that shape the hubs are the more space that is left for the player to utilize so making them totally round doesn't really benefit the player, or make logical sense for someone attempting to survive in space.

Building Changes

When building a Hub near another but, occasionally, doors are blocked and cant be build on.
Previously, this would resort in the Door Blockade blocking the door, preventing its use.
Now, any door that cannot be used as a door will just instead become a window.

[i[b]]Developer Notes: This is a change that has been wanted for a while. If you are building a hub with all doors in a place only one or no doors are usable, the room would look very prison like.
This also allows for more viewing into the Space outside the ship. It was hard work to make, SO LOOK AT IT EVERY CHANCE YOU GET! [/b][/i]

Mining Animation

For the Longest time the animations surrounding mining an asteroid have needed to be reworked.
They are being fine tuned still but you can see the new Fracturing in both the game and the tutorial.

Developer Note: Yeah, no note..... It's getting there. Just check it out.

This concludes the update. Thanks for all your support.

Oh One More Thing

The first of the Mini Games "RobotElonAttack" is done and will soon be available in the main menu to test and play.

"The time has come", the Walrus said, "To talk of building things:

Aug 22, 2022

Building on to your Space Station has finally been finished.

Now you can craft and build "Hubs" or rooms on to your station to make your home in space that much larger.

5 Different Hubs have been added to the game.
They are as follows

Small hubs with all Doors, It can be built on from all side.
Small Hub with All Windows, Enjoy the view from the many view points.
Small Hub With both. These allow for building off the sides but offer viewing from the front.
Small Air Locks. These allow you to leave and enter the ship from other places,
Medium Hub. This is a much larger hub with plenty of space to fill as you see fit.

Along with the Hubs a few buildable signs have been added to help make life easier.

To prevent you from getting lost in a maze of your own creation, an exit sign has been introduced. post these next to the doors leading your nearest air lock. Or post an Arrow sign pointing back to the main Hub.
Lastly, a customizable sign has been added. Build it to label rooms, objects or anything you wish.

Pop Up Text has been reworked to provide better performance as well as a better experience for the player.
