I've been looking for this kind of thread to no avail, so i make the first step and create one.

Moderators, if the introduction thread actually exists, please feel free to remove this one.

So here goes, hello, i'm mister_popo, I recently bought the game and my first ship has survived 117 days til now and i like it.
Although all i've done until now is strip down derelicts and mine, i'm eager to see what kind of challenge this game has in stock for me next.

I subscribed to the forum in order to read and share some views about the game and some experiences. 

A bit of warning though, before spacehaven, i spent quite a lot of time on Rimworld and i virtually recommend this game to almost everyone i know ; and some of my opinions may be heavily Rimworld-biased.

Hi !

I'm stuck at the end of the "first part" and simply can't build my hyper drive because I miss ONE hull block !

Why can't I get a hull block back when I reduce the size of my ship ?
For me it would be logic that I get the hull blocks back into inventory that I have "unmounted" ?!

Any ideas ?
Thanks
Tom

There's a big hole in our ship, can we come with you?

Civilians scan some random areas of your ship and find out you have some of their faction crew members as refugees.

• Solar Flares
  
  
• Micrometeoroids
  
  
• Siren Worlds
  
  
• Nebulae
  

Holy crap! What's going on here.

Watch your head, Charley!

Jet has lost his mind, or really hates his bed.

• Environment hazards Implemented - Solar flares, Micrometeoroids, Nebulae and Siren Worlds.
  
  
• New Faction Interactions Implemented - Signaling, NPC Hailing, Distress State and Refugees.
  
  
• Signaling - Allows spaceships to communicate simple intents directly, like "we want to communicate", "we want to surrender", "we want to establish a cease fire and communicate".
  
  
• Distress state - Allows a spaceship and its crew to turn on a distress beacon and call for help.
  
  
• Refugees - A new character status in addition to the prisoner status, saved crew members from destroyed spaceships who are looking to be reunited with their faction.
  
  
• Suspicion - A new faction status, whereby another faction can be suspicious towards you that you are hiding something from them.
  
  
• Implemented a lot of new communication dialogue related to the new faction interaction implementations.
  
  
• NPC spaceships now signal and hail the player at times, asking if the player has seen their crew members who sent out a distress call.
  
  
• The player can now try to lie in certain dialogue scenarios.
  
  
• NPC factions can now help each other in distress situations as well.
  
  
• Solar flares - Overload your power nodes and may cause fires aboard your ships.
  
  
• Micrometeoroids - Rain down on your ships and strike your mining pods. Shields mitigate to a degree.
  
  
• Microbreaches - Small cracks which cause depressurization.
  
  
• Siren Worlds - Peculiar planets whose strange signals mess with the mind.
  
  
• Nebulae - An interstellar cloud of ionized gases, which has a draining effect on shields.
  
  
• Added Space Hazards individually to the game customization screen - Tweak their presence and make them non-existent if you so desire.
  
  
• Ability to set the resource amounts for derelicts added to the game customization screen.
  
  
• Harsh game difficulty is now rebalanced to be harder.
  
  
• Shuttles and miners can now become broken if hit by micrometeoroid.
  
  
• Broken crafts can't work and leak oxygen.
  
  
• Many Siren World character conditions added: Disorientation, Psychotic, Schizophrenia, Lost Appetite, Insomnia, Aggressivity, Urge to Destroy.
  
  
• New Character conditions and behavior possibilities: Committing suicide, poisoning, seeing a captive crew member.
  
  
• Implemented an improved way to override crew member schedules for a set amount of hours, for situations needing quick action.
  
  
• Crew member schedule overriding can be done by selecting a crew member and from the crew management screen.
  
  
• Tweaked Character conditions.
  
  
• Tweaked energium to energy rod ratio lower.
  
  
• Rebalanced trading prices of resources.
  
  
• Made the game log more selective of which conditions and events are listed.
  
  
• Hangars can be paused/unpaused to prevent craft from doing work.
  
  
• Crew members can fight each other if they get irritated enough.
  
  
• Added additional information for grow beds, to easily see if conditions are optimal for plant growth.
  
  
• Graphic assets Improvements and Polish: Toilet, Hypersleep chamber, Operations console, Power capacitor, Airlock, Assembler.
  
  
• Fixed in-floor power node restrictions to a degree.
  
  
• Tweaked the surrender trigger from bullet hits to function in a better way.
  
  
• Added a scaling system to the presence of space hazards within star systems, giving the player a bit more time to build up a ship with necessary systems ready. Space Hazards can still be encountered early on, but it is much less likely than in later systems.
  
  
• Added auto-toggling repair for micro-breaches, making crew members react to them more quickly. If auto-maintenance is toggled on (As it is by default) crew members will prioritize
  micro-breaches even during their free time and sleep.
  
  
• Tweaked the solar flare event occurrence interval range to be a bit longer within a sector with a solar flare, this gives the player a bit more time to repair their ship before another
  solar flare hits.
  
  
• Adjusted crew members with the Suicidal trait to not get a mental break so easily.
  
  
• Fixed bugs.

I can't seem to be able to eject items in my ship's inventory. I have too much bio matter which is taking up space. When I select "move" or "eject" from the ship menu, I can't select anything.

I feel like it should be possible to place these items against the wall overlapping at least some other objects, like a light above the bed in a room, or a thermal regulator  above a grow bed, or a power regulator above a gas scrubber. As it is, right now it uses up the same space as a lamp, a standard thermal regulator, or a power node. The only advantage is that your crew can walk past it. (You also can't put objects over in-floor power nodes, so a similar problem.)

Still, love the game, and really enjoying my emergent stories! Keep up the good work!

Hi, I'd love to be able to set a target temperature range instead of a single value, that way I would not be constently wasting energy in unwanted temperature correction. An example:
For a regulator in an industry room I would set something like 5-25°C range: do not let overheat nor freeze. But as long as it is in range, stay idle.
Sometime you place them only to fight heat, sometime only to fight cold. And currently they are almost all the time running.
