Survival Release Recap and Game Vision

So one month after the release of survival already!

To be honest it was a rocky launch... It had way more bugs and stability issues than anticipated - I am sorry for this and thankful for those who stick to the game still and reported any issues. I made 33 patches and closed 180 issues on the github.

Newcomers to the game also had a hard time with a few of the game mechanics.
So the game is a lot better now, but there is still some work to do!

Why did I made Starship EVO? Find out here:

Here is what the survival update bring to the game:

Early game survival:

[p align="start"]You start stranded on a planet and must find your way back to orbit.

• [p align="start"]Mine and harvest resources, craft better gear, and build a hovercraft to explore the surface.

• [p align="start"]Scale up production with an assembler, arc-furnace, and H2 farm. Meet the growing power demands and design an efficient inventory network.

• [p align="start"]Build your first spaceship and reach orbit! Explore the starting system to acquire a faster drive and better weapons. Manage fuel and oxygen.

• [p align="start"]Defeat the pirates blocking the Stargate. The galaxy is now yours to explore!

Make your Mark in a Dangerous Galaxy

Once able to explore space you will be free:

• [p align="start"]Pick your fights: liberate sectors from pirates in the outer rim, or defeat factions for control toward the core. Come prepared!

• [p align="start"]Visit space stations to trade goods and take on missions. Build the right ship for the job.

• [p align="start"]Be the captain: hire crewmembers from several colorful alien races.

• [p align="start"]Fly seamlessly from orbit to surface, explore planets and asteroid rings. Find your own place in the galaxy!

Here I detail the survival loop more specifically:

I made another post detailing the plan for the first few update concerning early-game, if you would like to discuss and give me feedback:
