Version 0.12 What's new

2026-06-23 — Survival legibility & ambitions

• See who's in trouble. Survival needs are reworked and rearranged on the colonist card, with a clear warning when someone is near death so you can step in before you lose them.
• Ambitions. A new Ambitions panel gives colonists personal goals to chase, seeded with a starter set.
• Understand the "why." Hover tooltips now explain buffs and debuffs on a colonist's card, whims and urgency are spelled out in the inspector, and houses surface their heating costs.

2026-06-22 — Dark verbs & social fallout

• Exile a colonist. A new exile verb removes a colonist from the colony, with consequences that ripple through those they leave behind.
• Respond to scandal. When scandal hits, choose how to handle it — issue an apology, find a scapegoat, or cover it up.
• Throw a feast, hold counsel. Host a feast as a morale beat, and a new Beats window lets you step in with a player-driven counsel action.
• More legible drama. Rumors now surface on a colonist's own window, and starting relationships were retuned.
• Fixes. Saving over an existing slot no longer forces a new file, shelter-in-place now sends everyone home, cold drains more gently, robots take their own tile, helmet colors match bodies, and a builder-robot bug that broke Chronicles and Network is fixed.

2026-06-21 — Building drama & a real build queue

• Tensions at a glance. A new window surfaces per-building tension, romance and conflict so you can see where drama is brewing.
• Compounding drama. Isolated social beats now chain into larger storylines, and dialogue references colonists' real current state.
• A proper build queue. The build queue is now an orderable priority queue.
• Steadier saves. Affair and breakup fallout is no longer lost on save/load.
• UI polish. Fixes to menu sizes and window heights, plus the job-assignment window no longer flickers at faster game speeds.

2026-06-20 — Food types & info windows

• Food by type. Food is now split into distinct types with retuned production and costs; spinach grows larger and yields more, and kale joins the menu.
• Building & job info. New info windows explain buildings and jobs, names are clickable to jump between windows, and Sentiments moved to its own sidebar slot.
• Clearer notifications. Notifications now name the colonist involved instead of staying vague.
• Window & visual polish. Windows try not to open behind others, materials show in the navbar, menu models are scaled properly, and softer dithered shadows ease hard shadow lines.
