I have added a screen to choose how much power and oxygen you want to withdraw before leaving on an EVA. It should be available in 0.55 soon. Also, a full suit battery now only requires 50% from the reserve battery.

The item duplication bug should have been fixed.

There are blinking red warnings for both oxygen and battery if either falls below 25%. There are also blinking red health warnings when your overall vital signs drop to dangerous levels.


I've been considering the addition of some kind of Stamina indicator, but it's the hardest one to do in a way that stays "in-fiction". I'll definitely keep thinking about how I could do that in a tasteful way.

Thanks for the feedback. Improved tutorials are definitely something I'm trying to figure out how to approach. I'll be collecting more feedback before I decide exactly what might be most helpful.

Totally fair points. I think something else may have been at play here though because there absolutely should have been warnings for low oxygen or battery if you were out on an EVA. So I'm not really sure what might have happened. I'm definitely looking to balance and change difficulty so I will continue gathering feedback and think of how I might apply your suggestions. Thanks again.

If the power went from almost full to nothing that might be another issue I need to investigate however. There will be an update in the next 24 hours that will allow you to select how much power and oxygen you want to withdraw when you leave on an EVA. Right now it automatically tries to fill you up to 100%, which may have been why your power dropped. If you left it may have automatically transferred the power to your suit.

If you ran out of oxygen when you were inside the habitat that means you must not have had the reoxygenator turned on or repaired. If it was operational then you would have automatically removed your EVA suit when you entered the hab and would not have needed to worry about oxygen at all while inside. For the first habitat you find, this should just be a simple matter of flipping the power switch near the reoxygenator. Sometimes there may be a fuse or other component that is broken however, but if that's the case there will always be a replacement component already in your inventory.


I really do appreciate the feedback. I will definitely be revisiting the difficulty based on how people feel about it.

I appreciate the feedback. There are many different ways to find out what components are failing. If I had to guess however, I think you may have repaired the Electrical module, but not properly repaired some of the other modules. This would cause the other modules to drain reserve battery from the Electrical module and eventually you will run out of power.


To prevent this the most high-level check would be to access the Habitat Status screen by clicking on one of the consoles in the airlock. This should tell you which of the four exterior modules is offline and how much oxygen, water, and battery charge you have stored up. Once you determine which of the modules is offline you can approach it and select the Run Diagnostics option from its console. This will tell you which of the components needs to be replaced or repaired. You can also download user manuals from the exterior module consoles which can tell you what components are necessary to run each modules and how you might want to optimize them. Part of the game is to try and put you in the shoes (or boots) of a real astronaut so that you can try to problem solve and figure out where the fault is with any of your equipment. I want to avoid just telling the player what to do next because then there wouldn't be much of a challenge to it. All the information you need to repair your equipment is there. I can add in more tutorial elements that teach you how to access that information though.

Yeah, I'm not entirely satisfied with it, but unfortunately there's not much I can do outside of sending them an email to see if they could address this in the future. I don't have any control over it. Hopefully if any other users come here and search for the security warning issue they will find this post and see that the devs of the forum service have accounted for the security of the login, and at the very least they can ensure they are using the https version themselves.
