There is a full changelog in the download, but for a brief overview of the highlights, give the last post here a read.

As always, to download the zip file, just click the download button above.

It will introduce the ability to fabricate component on your own ship. This is done with the combination of 4 new components;
- The Component Fabricator, that creates components from items
- The Item Constructor, which allows for construction of items, fuel and ammo from metals
- The Ore Refinery which refines ores into metals
- The Rock Drill, which can be used to mine asteroids in order to gain ores

It will also introduce the priority system, which allows the prioritisation of repair, power, oxygen, shields and cargo. This means that with the use of the new Prioritizer component, you can for example change the repair order of the Repair Bot Depot or change a Reserve Battery to be drained only after other power suppliers.

There will also be two new weapons; the Nuke Launcher and the Breach Laser. Both of which are much stronger than their earlier counterparts. And on the topic of weapons, auto targeting and auto fire have also be added as toggles to most weapons.

These are the highlights, but there are a lot a improvements and fixes, which can be read in the change log, which will be released at the same time as the new version (When I am completely clear on what is in it).

It can be found here. There not much there at the moment but if I take screenshots during development, they will be posted there.

Since the first version of the tech demo was put online, I've been unsure of where to put my effort on the project.
There are many things to do, a lot of cleanup and a lot of new features to add.
I had been contemplating either defining a new milestone with a large set of new features, work on bug fixes and cleanup in order to make tech demo more stable, or to pump out a bunch of new components.
But I ended up being hooked on the idea of being able to construct ammo and fuel and new components onboard your own ship.

I think the next step in the development of this, is actually a mix of the three different paths. There will be some bug fixes, the component crafting feature, few other new features and components and maybe the heating or priority system, all neatly packed into a tech demo version 0.2 milestone.
I'll put a tech demo milestone on the project board shortly for those who want to track the progress.

And a presentation video for the tech demo is now up here on the page. Share it, like it, subscribe to the channel it all helps the project :)

The tech demo is finally up! Just click the download button and it will take you to the download page. It is fairly rough so expect plenty of bugs though.

It has taken some time to get here (started this project some time late in 2018), but now I finally have something to show for it. But there is still much to do, as can be seen on the project Trello board (link here).
