Greetings, Spacefarer!
Space Haven Alpha 15 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 pla... 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.

Alpha 15 will make crew members feel less robotic and more human. At the same time, the elements affecting the mood of the crew members will guide the player to build their ships in certain ways and allow for small goals to strive for.

The joy of building a great and comfortable ship to live on will be amplified by seeing crew members enjoying their life on the ship. We are also working on adding new crew combat content, as well as various decoratives and beverage to the game, what would space be without a good spa... Read more

The Alpha 14 features a mix of features wished by you, our players, and improvements and additions to the existing systems in the game. Let's take a look at all the new goodies!

Recommended to Start a New Game
This update has many reworks of existing systems, one of them being the power system. It is strongly recommended to start a new game.

We apologize for this, it is inevitable with early access games. We try to keep these instances where old saves aren't functional to a minimal amount, with months in-between to allow you to play without having to start over.

System Points Reworked (More System Points Possible)
Hull Stabilizers Now Give System Points

Greetings, Spacefarer!
The Alpha 13 Update takes inspiration from Apollo 13, where accidents happen and research is imperative to survival! In the spirit of Apollo 13 we wanted to invest more time into the Research System and incentivize exploration by creating research bonuses from dismantling facilities on board other spaceships and stations.

We also wanted to tie Research with examining alien life forms and experimentation with resources, where some research modules will require the crew to carry out experiments on resources to discover new technologies.

To add to the emergent storytelling component of the game we have expanded upon the accidents system, and tied it together with research experiments and other crew member activities. We have created some new facilities to make all of this possible.... Read more

Greetings, Spacefarers!
Before we move on to develop the next big Alpha update (Alpha 13) we wanted to spend some time to implement improvements, which could have a big impact on game play. Our priority is to always leave the current Alpha in a solid state before moving on to a longer period of development time on a new Alpha iteration.

Tooltips for Character skills and attributes have been requested by many and we're happy to include them in this new update along with many tweaks to their effects! Read on to see what's new in this update.
