Good news! It's time to start testing the new Major Update in the Unstable Branch. Before you jump in, make sure to read all the information below to know all about the process. If you want to wait for the stable version of the update that is all fine.

Space Haven Major Update #20 (Alpha 20) is now available to play in the Unstable (Work-in-Progress) branch. As a reminder, the update process is as follows:

1. A new Update is first available in the Unstable/Experimental Branches.
   
2. Players, who do not mind playing a more unstable version, will first want to test the new update.
   
3. Once the Unstable/Experimental versions of the new update build looks solid and stable enough we will push it out officially to all players!

Glad to find you here in this part of the Galaxy. We have some news to share! We've been working in the background on the next Major Update. This next update will now mark the 20th Major Update for Space Haven. As such this update will be a big milestone for the game and also for us.

We've been working on something special for this update. The main role of this update will be the Exodus Fleet and a main quest line, comprised of missions that will build up a story for the Search of Eden.

We've once again turned to our skilled writer by the name of Hambone to write a storyline that is presented through dialogue between characters belonging to the Exodus Fleet.

We have decided to take a different approach with the upcoming Alpha 18 Update and release an early unstable version of the update for testing.

We have added a new special branch for this, which will allow you to access this new update right away if you want to see how the new update is looking. Keep in mind this branch will have an early version that still has some missing assets, incomplete translations and is more than likely to crash at times!

This version is even earlier than an experimental branch build.

Space Haven Alpha 18 is now available to play in the Unstable (Work-in-Progress) branch. As a reminder, the update process is as follows:

It has been a while, but as always we've been working in the background inching our way towards a new Major Update one step at a time. We have two new major building blocks we've been constructing for the Alpha 18 Update.

The first is a new Starmap, with new features giving more life to the starmap along with more events the player can encounter. The other is a comprehensive sectionalized tutorial, with Sheridan guiding new players to the intricacies of Space Haven.

Let's take a look!

Space Haven Alpha 17 is now available to play in the experimental branch. As a reminder, the update process is as follows:

1. A new Update is first available in the Experimental Branch.
   
2. Players, who do not mind playing a more unstable version, will first want to test the new update.
   
3. Once the experimental game build looks solid and stable enough we will push it out officially to all players!

NOTE! Joining experimental is completely optional, and you should only do it if you are willing to risk that some new bugs are introduced, which could affect your game play and potentially break your save.

Please do not join the experimental branch if you don't want to risk breaking your save or have the game break on you in midst of play! If you want to play a... Read more

Alpha 0.16.0 Build 17

• Fixed a bug related to Missions - Taking a crew member as refugee failed the mission.
  
• Fixed the Comfort values of the Ore Processor - Discomfort of the Ore Processor was going through walls too much. (Intention is still to have it at a small leakage, due to vibrations, noise and smell. Walls block discomfort to a good degree, but not completely. Walls + some space is needed.)
