Solar Expanse - Space Exploration Manager

Greetings Space Explorers!A long-awaited new Major Update #2 has just been released! This build introduces all the newly announced features along with many tweaks and fixes! NEW FEATURES:added Space Stations with their respective researchinstant free drag-and-drop transfers of modules and resources from orbit to surface, between orbiting bodies, or, in some cases, surface to orbit (space elevators, Electromagnetic Catapults)added a possibility to save and load mission presetsshift + click for auto-creation of missions with missing resources to planned orbital constructions (requires resources on the parent body surface)added constant acceleration flights to cyclical missionsadded an option to take fuel for return flights for cyclical missionsplanning construction without resourcesChanges:added a minimum fuel marker to the fuel slideradded orbit highlight for drag and dropnew tooltipscurrent/required resources value for ideal atmospheric pressurecommunication satellites income in tooltip/info panelspace elevator contract adjustmentsadded filtering by deposits in search windowfuel production balance - nerfed to follow the law of mass action and produce extra oxygenmajor objects panel

Greetings Space Explorers!It's been a while since our last update, so we would like to tell you about the current and future plans for Solar Expanse development. Let's have a look at what's coming in Major Update #2 in just a few weeks!Space StationsWhy space stations? They answer some of the game's current issues and make the gameplay smoother by keeping crews alive in orbits, making productions way more efficient (especially electronics!), and reducing the fuel costs of orbital launch! Stations will be modular - each one will consist of a base operational module, which can be extended by 10 more of your choice. Models will be visible in orbits!This was also the most requested feature from our roadmap, so we made sure that it will add more flow and impact to the gameplay.Drag and drop missions for free orbital transfersTired of clicking through the entire mission planning for some orbital logistics? We're making it much simpler! After the Major Update #2, you'll be able to simply drag and drop resources and modules from orbit to surface, between orbiting bodies, or, in some cases (e.g., if you have a Space Elevator connecting a planet to the orbiting

Greetings Space Explorers!Thanks to your extensive open_beta testing, we're bringing you the new build 0.26.7.16.10 BETA to the default branch! We have also updated our DEMO to reflect the current state of the game better! We're aware that it took us a while, but we've been also working on something more exciting in the meantime, and we'll announce it next week! Stay tuned!New Features:communication satellites - as a new way of earning passive income from the populationChanges: tooltip info about supplies addedmining facilities will now show factor for the current objectadditional video for gravity assist contract triviaadded translations to new texts in all available languages Fixes: double clicking to construct wouldn't always workdouble clicking in SC/LV/facility construction panel could queue more construction tasksexception if asteroid engine was deleted during asteroid pushmining module "extracts" text could overlap with resourceslack of fuel could show incorrect info in mission planning summarychanging priorities and influencing facilities of other companies/world governmentissues with resources not transferring properly in missions continu

Greetings Space Explorers! This time we're bringing you a lot of fixes and improvements tested on open_beta branch to default with new 0.26.6.3.14 BETA build! Enjoy!If you preferred the previous default build, make sure to switch to the "previous" branch!
