• Fixed bugs.

Also, to celebrate Halloween Space Haven is 15% OFF. Let your friends know, or hop aboard if you haven't yet ...

It is not scrapped, but we cannot take on the challenges regarding mobile at the time. We simply do not have the resources for it.

It makes the most sense to focus on developing the game on the current platforms, and then one day when the opportunity presents itself see about other platforms.

We did not plan for it all to take this long, to still be in a stage where we will develop the game for a good amount of time, but we're happy to say it was worth it =) The game simply needs that kind of time, it is that type of a game.

You can try loading the Alpha 9 save and continue playing, but there's probably multiple issues. You'd need to start researching to be able to unlock many of the facilities you already have, and you'd need to travel to a new galaxy to get the new starmap.

It is highly recommended to start a new game.

This month if all goes well, it depends on if there's more tweaks needed based on the feedback from the build in the experimental branch. It is out in the experimental branch at the moment =)

You can do that by editing the save file, the save is saved as "game" in a save folder in the install folder of the game. Example:

Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceHaven\savegames\New haven-30\autosave1

Search for solarflares and micrometeroids and set them to Medium or Rare.

It feels like the devs are trying to make the game artificially longer by making the players wait around more.

That is not what the research tree was intended for at all. Our goal is to make the game better overall, not only by offering more meaningful choices and paths to survive but also improve player onboarding. Alpha 10 tackles these with the research tree but also stations with services, which are capable of providing something for the player so that they don't have to have everything available on their own ships.

The research tree comes in really handy when new players launch up the game and are not faced with one bazillion different facilities to choose from. Rather, there are basic facilities needed from the start, and more are introduced by the player choosing for themselves what to research next.

The above is what we thought was one of the real upsides to a research tree, and keep in mind the amount of facilities and it...

Thanks for playing! Let us know if you feel something needs tweaking.
