I've finally managed to wrap up all the loose ends for this release. New station (see above), quite a few new codex entries, but most of all completely overhauled job generation and UI. The game now feels more friendly to play. More details in the patch notes...

After some thought, some reading and some waiting for inspiration that finally suddenly struck, I think I came to a conclusion. Since the whole thing initially is literally based on a credit system, it seems natural that the word credit would somehow be entangled in the emerging currency, but it...

I had planned a release today, but life had other plans, not going to make it. So here's a picture of Akshaya Patra, orbital farm extraordinaire, for now:

Do take an XR2 for a spin next Halloween, you might change your mind...

In short, yes! In order to not drive both the developer (read: me) and the players crazy, It's important to have only one currency in the game. There are certainly other currencies around in the world, but only one the player should have to deal with while conducting their orbital business...

I've never done this specifically, but I would expect that this value must have the extension included (i.e. "file.dat"), but I'd really recommend naming it something more descriptive. Also, pay attention that the path seems to be relative to the config root folder the cfg is found in, not...

Anybody up for a bit of creative brainstorming on the name for a scifi currency? Here's a rough summary of the situation: There's an orbital population of some two million people, but it's disconnected from earth for several decades due to "a minor Kessler event". The offworld population is...

That's an easy one, that would be Howl's moving castle.

Stumbled accidentally over this old OVA on youtube: Mighty Space Miners, originally planned as six episodes, unfortunately only two got made. So the story isn't concluded. But the two episodes that are there are really quite good!

If renders could get us to the moon, the place would be crowded by now... :rolleyes:

It might also be breach of contract...

Yeah, the internet tends to get very grumpy nowadays when AWS stubs its toe...

Thanks a lot, Xyon! I was worried there for a moment when I saw the domain was up for grabs. I assumed something along the described lines had happened, but there's always the danger that some opportunistic bot is going to take advantage of situations like this and then send you a ransom note...

That permission could only be obtained from the Doctor himself, since it's his license. Haven't seen him around here for some time, but he does drop in every leap year or so... Meanwhile, I am not entirely convinced teaching at a private university really qualifies for "commercial use" in the...

I did a drawing, but no, that was not enough for me to notice it. I'm really, really bad at visualising numerical relations. I saw it on my drawing once I came to the conclusion logically, but alas not before...

Ok, I figured out where I was being stupid! Since a Hohmann transfer always takes half an orbit, the minimum transfer time to transfer to any higher orbit is always greater than current P/2 For the same reason, the maximum amount of time it takes to reach any inner orbit is always smaller than...

EDIT: After some more thinking it through, it turns out that this question makes no sense whatsoever (see my next post). I'm still leaving it here for posterity. In the end, it's just another case of "you don't get how orbits work!". So, I wanted to write a simple limiter for my game, when...

That might be overstating it a bit...

0.14.0 is here! Now with zero-g toilets and other fun upgrades for your sardine can of a spacecraft, and an additional graphic for one of the space stations: There's also a couple of other things, here's the patch notes for a complete list (along with the download link)...

I've never heard that. Not saying it's impossible he said something like this, but it would be fairly obvious that it's BS. Even if it could take it, you heat steel up like that, you don't have the same kind of steel anymore afterwards, I think Musk would have been aware of that.
