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

We have fixed some bugs and put together a new patch for the Alpha 16 Update. The newest version is now 0.16.0 Build 17.

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.)

It's time to let you know what we've been working on here at Bugbyte. Alpha 16 is shaping up to be a mixed bag of goodies, with new features extending on content, building, crew management and deepening some of the existing systems in the game. Let's have a look!

Missions System
A mock-up of a possible missions screen. Work-in-progress. (Subject to Change)

We've started developing a missions system, which would support both smaller missions within a sector and missions which require traversing to a specific location.

With the missions system we want to bring more life to the galaxy, by creating more events and giving more life to the factions with them asking for help regar... Read more

The upcoming Alpha 15 update is focused on characters and relationships. The intended goal is to make things matter more, and have more visible effects. The game revolves around managing crew members, and whether one is successful or not should reflect from their mood.
