Major changes:
- Biomass has been removed;
- Added a resource exchange;
- The method of obtaining crystals has been changed;
- The exchange post has been removed;
- Added the "Local Farm" building;
- The construction of the "Mine" has been changed and redesigned.

The economic system has undergone significant changes. Now enemies do not provide resources, and materials for improvements and exchange can be found in the world. The materials themselves can only be moved by means of transport, which has loading and unloading drones. After collecting resources, they must be delivered to the nearest outpost, which has a reactor. There is a special unloading area at the outpost, from where your resources will be picked up by a delivery ship and transported to the main station.

Now you can get money in several ways. The easiest way is to complete some kind of cleanup or search task. But the most profitable will be the collection and processing of resources from local farms, which are different on each planet.

Crystals for improvements are now mined only in mines and do not appear in clusters. The mines yield crates of crystals at the exit, which will also need to be transported to the outpost to conserve resources.

In the future, the economic system will be improved and supplemented. Further development will be aimed at fighting for resources with local inhabitants.

There have been no posts for a long time. But this is due to a lot of added and recycled gameplay elements, mechanics, and more.
The update will be released very soon, even before the end of the summer sale. Now I am preparing and assembling everything, but not everything was able to be done as planned. The rest of the content will be added every week throughout July.

The update size will be about 1.5 gigabytes, which is twice the size of the game itself. A lot has been done, including I have organized a reserve for multiplayer. But again, not everything could be done even in 3 months of development due to the many details.

The main feature will be a complete update of the visual part. The system requirements will be increased, but this increase is not based on an empty place. The game now features highly polygonal models, high-resolution textures, infinite drawing range, and support for Path Tracing (still in beta mode. There are small artifacts in the menu).

Almost all geometry is now calculated on the video card, each element in the game that you will see has its own real geometry, and is not processed using translucent planes, as is usually done. Every blade of grass, every leaf on the tree is a real geometry.
The textures of objects and shadows are now divided into viral maps, which allows you to save a lot of video memory without compromising quality.
The navigation system has also been improved, but I do not plan to implement it yet, as I will need to determine the processor load. At the moment, the game has a navigation system from the previous version, but it has been slightly improved due to the static navigation grid. If earlier it was calculated only around the character and the enemies could not move freely around the map, now I will chase you no matter how fast and how far you run, they will always find you.

A lot of gameplay mechanics have also been redesigned, but this will be discussed in the following posts.
