This month's update is focused on expanding the research mechanics of the game. You now have a new research bench inside each habitat that lets you track your research progress towards four new achievements. There are lots of other bug fixes as well. Check out the full change log below. Many of these fixes were suggested and tested by our helpful community on our official feedback forums.

Change Log



  • There are four new achievements based on mission research progress.
  • There is a new workstation in each habitat called the Research Bench.
  • Similar to the Crafting and Salvaging Bench, you can interact with the Research Bench to see an overview of your research progress for each research category. This can help you track your progress towards the new research achievements.
  • Habitats also now have one center table art asset to add more visual interest.
  • You can now “run” inside the habitats. Interior walk speed is about 60% of the exterior walk speed, which is what it has always been, but interior run speed is now equal to exterior walk speed so that you can move around inside a bit quicker if you want.
  • Fixed an issue causing driving controls to be disabled when using the escape key to close the datapad while driving.
  • Charged backup batteries and oxygen filled canisters can now be used inside habitats.
  • The “Quit” option from the pause menu will now exit straight to desktop after a confirmation prompt instead of returning to the main menu.
  • Fixed another instance where exterior module components were incorrectly spawning in new games causing the diagnostic screen to display blank information.
  • Fixed a major bug with how dust storms were impacting the degradation of exterior module components which could cause irreparable states to occur.
  • Fixed the hab status panel to correctly display the state of the reoxygenator when running on reserve power.
