- About mining ore - 30 August 2026
First you need to mine ore on the planet using a mining drone. Next, you need to transfer this ore into the enrichment module, and the enrichment process will start (the process when useful chemical elements are separated from the entire pile of ore, and the empty rock is discarded). After completion of the enrichment process, a concentrate will be obtained (for example, copper concentrate or iron concentrate, depending on the type of ore).Moreover, the quality of the ore (ore richness) determines how much concentrate will be obtained in 1 cycle:Poor ore - 1 concentrate.Medium ore - 2 concentrates.Rich ore - 4 concentrates.Extra rich ore - 8 concentrates.Next, the resulting concentrate must be moved to the "furnace" module, where the process of melting the concentrate into ingots will start (automatically).1 concentrate = 1 ingot. The ingots will be useful to us in further production (i…
- I'm still working on adding fuel⛽ to the game. - 28 July 2026
The mechanics of fuel seem to be simple - take and use it, it's just fuel bro, but there are many points (scientific and gaming).As I wrote earlier, the game will feature reactive fuel ⛽ for the ship's main engines. All kinds of gases (nitrogen, hydrogen, argon, methane, etc.) will be used as fuel for the electric rocket engine of our ships. This fuel will be used for take-off/landing on planets, as well as for suborbital flights between different locations on the planet.Thermonuclear fuel will also be needed to generate energy on the ship (hydrogen or helium-3). For more information about fuel, see the previous post:Here is one of the interesting scientific points that I encountered during development, and which I did not know before (or knew, but did not realize):- First, let me remind you that the main parameter determining whether your ship will be able to take off or land will be t…
- About the upcoming update - 19 April 2026
Just telling a little about the upcoming update:As mentioned earlier, the game will feature ⛽fuel for the ship's reactive engines. This fuel will be used for takeoff/landing on planets, as well as for suborbital flights between different locations on the planet.The features:The ships in the game use electric rocket engines⚡. I wrote about them and their integration into the game in the article (theory):The convenience of electric rockets engines is that they can run on single-component fuels (gases), such as argon, hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, and even oxygen. Liquid rocket engines often run on fuel pair such as hydrogen-oxygen, kerosene-oxygen, methane-oxygen, etc. The main parameter that determines whether your ship can take off/land is the so-called Δv (delta-v, also known as "change in velocity") - This is the change in the spacecraft's velocity required to perform a maneuver. It's a…
- Happy Cosmonautics Day!🪐 - 12 April 2026
Happy Cosmonautics Day!🪐April 12, 1961 is the day when humanity's dream became reality and boundless space became a little closer🌠Exactly 65 years ago, Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin completed the first manned flight🚀 into outer space.Before Gagarin's flight, space was a just theory and a dream. Now, humanity has an entire space infrastructure, and people in space are almost usual thing.Let's hope that humanity🌍 continues to expand the boundaries of the possible✨
- Space gas minig - 5 April 2026
This cloud of gas is the atmosphere blown away by the star⛅ from the planet Vreada (an analogue of our Venus).You can fly (warp) into this cosmic accumulation of gas and significantly mine it. However, for mining, you will need a module that launches a gas collector drone.This module can be installed on any ship, but it is better to use one with a lot of space (a lot of transported volume, since gas takes up a lot of volume📦)By the way, you can install two gas collector modules at once, then the extraction process will be faster, but in general, gas extraction in space is a relatively long way to make money, since gas is very sparse. But this method is the most relaxed and stress-free.😎
- Happy New Year! 🎄🌠 - 31 December 2025
May you have cosmic successes this year!⭐ And new knowledge about space and many, many, many tons of valuable ore are waiting for you!A new update will be released in the near (relatively:) future, where new consumables will be added. To ensure the full functionality of the ship, it will be necessary:1) Fuel for a power plant (helium-3 for a thermonuclear reactor).2) Fuel for main engines, which are used for take-off and landing on planets.3) Warp fuel for traveling through the star system in warp mode.New resources will also be introduced, from which fuel will be produced.How many Earth days lasts for 1 year (1 revolution around the Sun) on different planets:- Mercury: 1 year = 87.9 Earth days- Venus: 1 year = 224.7 Earth days- Earth: 1 year = 365 Earth days :)- Mars: 1 year = 686.9 earth days- Jupiter: 1 year = 4332 Earth days (12 Earth years)- Saturn: 1 year = 10759 Earth days (23 Ea…
- Winter Solstice!🌞 - 21 December 2025
Today is the winter solstice!🌞On the day of the winter Solstice, the longest night and the shortest day are observed in the Northern Hemisphere, while on the day of the summer solstice, on the contrary, the longest day and the shortest night are observed compared to any other day of the year.After today, the day begins to slowly increase and the night begins to shorten.By the way, this day is a holiday for many peoples!
- Dangerous trip - 19 December 2025
Just a walking trip of a crew member in an exosuite on the planet ☣Vreada (analog of the planet Venus).At the moment, this is the only way to get out of the ship without being instantly ☠destroyed by crazy weather effects, where the temperature is about 400 degrees🔥. By the way, the ship gets at least a little damage here, but still.And this is what the planet looks outside. By the way, that cloud of gas over there is a part of the planet's atmosphere that is being blown away by a star. You can fly into this cloud and start mine the gas, but this requires the "Gas harvester station" module.In the future, I'm thinking of significantly expanding the fleet of equipment and spacesuits capable of longer stays on similar planets surfaces, but it will still be very expensive equipment, and even it won't guarantee complete safety for a long time. Even super-technologies💾 are not able to guara…
- Venera-7 - 15 December 2025
The first spacecraft to successfully land on the surface of Venus is 55 years old! ⭐The Venera-7 station is a real breakthrough in space exploration. After working for 20 minutes on the surface of the most ferocious🔥 and deadly☣ planet in the Solar System, the device transmitted valuable data on the temperature of the atmosphere and surface, as well as pressure data.The body of the device was made of titanium📏, replacing the aluminum alloy of earlier versions of the Venus series devices. This allowed him to stay so long at a temperature of 450°C and a pressure of 100 atmospheres! Plus, an interesting ❄cooling scheme was applied - before entering the atmosphere, the lander was deeply cooled to -8°C using an external refrigeration unit. The device itself did not have its own "refrigerator" — its role was performed by the large heat capacity of the all pre-frozen titanium structure. Like…
- It's always a pleasure to find a crate of ore😎 - 1 December 2025
It's always a pleasure to find a crate of ore😎Although you can dig it yourself, the main thing is that there is a desire and a mining drone on board the ship.
- Hotfix - 25 October 2025
A few fixes has been released:- Fixed a bug when the crew members did not eat their delicious food (although it was in the inventory)- Now the crew member decides to have a snack when the satiety slider go to 25 points, instead of 0. If after a snack the satiety points have not been reached, the enterprising character eats again (this happens when the character has a low-calorie healthy diet such as apples, which restore low satiety points)- Now, if a crew member was engaged in equipment maintenance (module maintenance) and got hungry, he would resolutely put aside his surely important work and have a snack (again, if there was food in the inventory). After a snack, he will return to work.- A problem was also fixed when there was not enough space in the module (production module such as furnace, hydroponics, ore enrichment) and the process went into a stop-start cycle. Now, he will civi…
- Hunger, food and hydroponics [Update] - 16 October 2025
The new update adds hunger for the crew members. And, accordingly, food that can be eat to satisfy hunger. Food can be bought or grown in the Hydroponics module.Character hunger:The hunger system is not made straightforward, but with some logic: first, the crew member's satiety points are reduced (from 100 to 0), after which the character is applied the state "hunger level 1". Hunger of the 1st level is the initial stage of hunger, and does not cause damage to the character. Then, after a few minutes, the hunger level will rise to 2, where the character's movement speed will be slightly reduced (in the future, there will be more debuffs on accuracy and morale). At level 3, the character is already slowing down quite noticeably. At level 4, the character will begin to receive rare damage. At level 5, damage will be dealt even more frequently.Note that hunger is not able to completely kil…
- Travel console📟 - 4 October 2025
Activating the travel console📟 at the station is one of the ways to switch the camera to the "system map" mode.This feature is still from the very first versions of the game :)To activate it, you need to go to the console in manual character control mode (press the spacebar)
- Autumnal equinox🌞 - 22 September 2025
Today is the day of the autumnal equinox🌞On this day, the northern and southern hemispheres of our enjoyable planet receive the same amount of light. And day on the entire surface (excluding the poles) is equal to night.
- My washing machine repair - 31 August 2025
I've been practicing with repair my washing machine for a few days, in real life :)Are the brushes on the electric motor sparking⚡, as I understand it, is there a short circuit in the rotor, or not? By the way, I put new brushes. In general, I'm like this flight engineer👨🚀 on the gif, I look at it sparkling and I don't understand what to do with it (may be it will fix itself, lol)I hope in the future our washing machines will become as reliable as a brick! Living on Mars, I would not like to look for details on it!Well, if you have to fix something, there should be complete unification and standardization📻. It's not like each product has its own engine or a unique nozzle/rubber seal😆
- Structure of the "game world" - 22 August 2025
What the structure of the "game world" looks like: - Close level: This is the level with the maximum zoom, when we see our ship🚀, crew members👨🚀, and the surface of the planet🌲. From here we can see the details of objects (costumes of characters, details of structures, flowers, etc.). Also from here comes the main control of your squad and ship systems (modules).- Tactical level: This is a level where you zoom out the camera from a close level. From here it is convenient to observe space battles - we see boarding capsules 📱 (our own and enemy's), we see incoming projectiles. At this level, additional graphics appear - some "squares" that help visually divide the "empty space" into zones. If it happens on a planet, then here we can see the orbit (squares above the planet) as well as the locations on this planet (you can click on the location and we can land on it).- Star system lev…
- Mine! ⛏ - 22 July 2025
What could be better than freshly digged iron ore?For extract ore from surface vein you need a Mining Drone. After he has filled his hold with ore he will go to your ship for unloading (if ship have space in cargo hold). You can get acquainted in detail with the mining drone in the article:
- Interface fixes - 18 July 2025
A small update with interface changes has been uploaded:Formatting large numbers separated by a space of three digits. In the "1 000 000" styleNow you can find out what weight/volume an inventory cell occupies. For example, how much 5000 apples total weight.Now, on the slider for transferring items between units, as well as on the slider for selling/throw items, you can specify the exact number from the keyboard (an input field has been added)A bug was also fixed when the player clicked on the slider frame and its value was reset to 1.The weight/volume in the inventory of the ship or station is now rounded (so that fractional numbers in the style of 253414,354 kg and 70,356 m3 are not visible), however, you can find out the exact weight/volume simply by pointing the mouse there. At the same time, the inventory of crew members is not rounded (as there are no such large numbers by weight/…
- Economy changes - 8 July 2025
An update has been released, where the game's economy has been significantly changed.The prices of some goods have increased by 100-500 times! But don't be alarmed :) For players with current progress, their cash reserves will be increased 500 times (if you had 1,000 Cr, you will now have 500,000 Cr)With such a price increase, the player's salary also increased :) More credits will now be given for quests. The reward takes into account the danger of the quest (strong enemies, hard-to-reach location)Goods such as gas, food and other "small things" are now very cheap (5-10 Cr), and such luxury items as a spaceship or module are very expensive (the ship Scout now costs 1 million Cr). At the same time, cheap items like apples now take up very little space in the hold: 1 kg of apples = 0.001m3 (this is 1 liter). The hold of the smallest ship = 500m3. How many apples will fit into the hold: 5…
- Just working on redesigning the economy in the game📊 - 29 June 2025
I'm just working on redesigning the economy in the game📊All prices will be completely redesigned, as well as the amount of resources being extracted.In the meantime, you can check out the gif with the "Ore Preparation Plant" (owned by the allied faction). Here you can take quests and profitably buy ores (but this is not accurate).
