Space Miner Simulator

List of major changes:

Ships and equipment:

ships and equipment for them are now sold at NPC stations.

equipment for ships is divided into three types: mining, combat and universal.

Mining weapons deal high damage to asteroids and weak damage to ships. Combat Set - deals low damage to asteroids and high damage to ships.

the equipment can only be installed in a slot with a suitable type, or in a universal slot.

universal equipment can be installed both in the mining slot and in the combat slot.

the equipment and slots for it are divided into levels. It is not possible to install high-level equipment in a slot with a lower level.

some equipment loses efficiency if its level is lower than the level of the slot in which it is installed.

critical ship systems have pre-installed equipment.

added new types of mining equipment: Laser and Drill.

new Scanner equipment.

if the asteroid is scanned with a scanner, it will become known what kind of raw materials it contains. More durable asteroids require more powerful scanners.

the ship upgrade system has been replaced by a system of Micromodules. Micromodules can be obtained as a reward for tasks. As loot from pirates or buy from itinerant merchants who appear near NPC stations.

The main aspect of this update is the change in the view of space, down with dark space, welcome our new member - colorful nebulae, thanks to this change was improved visibility of some objects. In addition, we have added new effects when moving in space. Now you can feel the speed and dynamics of your ship. In general, the feeling of flying into outer space is much brighter, in our opinion. In the future we plan to further improve and change the view of space.

Hello, fellow miners!

Many aspects of the game have been affected by the 0.0168 update, with the main focus being on enhancing the equipment system and expanding it. However, there have been some minor improvements that I hope will enhance your gameplay.

Let us tell you more about the current update:

First of all, one of the notable changes was the rework of shooting and shooting mechanics in general, (now you can destroy the poor AI with more guns!) actually, now each ship has more slots for weapons.

However, in order for you, by far the finest captain, to fire multiple weapons, you need energy, don’t you? To do this, a new type of equipment - generators - was introduced into the game. As the name suggests, this equipment allows you to obtain power for your guns, you will need to maintain a balance between firepower and the ship’s power system.

Your station's storage has been updated with a new collection of stored items, the ability to store your invaluable equipment in the station's storage has been introduced to the game!

Also, in order for you to travel on the main engine you will need to refuel it, each engine has its own unique tank, and our new color indication on the cockpit will let you know how much fuel you have left for your travels!

After hearing your comments regarding the ease of control, the mechanics of the afterburner have been changed, now you will have to press a button on your cockpit to activate it, after which you will be able to quickly but smoothly gain speed.

To deactivate the afterburner or main engine you can pull your control lever towards you, which will allow you to better control the ship!

Soon our planet will
complete another revolution around its star and we want to sum up the results
of the outgoing year!

When we thought about
the results, at first it seemed that there was nothing special to write, but
then we were surprised how much had happened. We decided to write out the most
basic:

- Devices that can be
used in space have been introduced into the game. With their help, players can
repair their ship during combat, increase the speed of movement and resource extraction,
and teleport to the station.

- Added item icons and
improved the interface.

- Thanks to the radar,
it has become easier to navigate in space.

- The long-awaited
cloud saves have been implemented, so now you will not lose your progress when
reinstalling the game.

- The game has been
migrated to a new version of the engine, which will improve the development
process and allow you to get new features.

- One of the most
important and difficult achievements of this year was the creation of a
development roadmap. We gathered all the accumulated ideas, thought about,
combined, weeded out, planned how they should work together and formed the
final vision of the project.

- Another important
and promising event was the addition of a new member to the development team. Together,
we can make the game much better and provide much more content next year.

Thank you all for your
support, help with testing, patience while waiting for updates, suggestions,
advice, constructive criticism and for keeping us on tone! We are very pleased
that we have such a responsive community!
