Space Pirate Incursion Pirates are here to pillage and plunder in this new Starmancer Update! Pirate attacks - Pirate ships can be seen roaming the galaxy map. They’ll seek you out and eventually launch an attack on your station! Will you fend them off or warp away to safety? Handguns - You can now craft handguns at the workbench! This is our first step for adding guns and ammo. Expect more weapons and equipment in the next update! Tech Station and Tesla Coils - Our latest derelict station is filled with data chips, silicon, and high tech looking decorations. You can also find tesla coil sentries! Hack them, bring them back to your station as defense! Just make sure you’ve got enough power to keep them online. Fire Suppression - We added a sprinkler! Stock it with Fire Suppression Foam and it will automatically extinguish any nearby fires. Game Settings - You can now customize your experience, making it more or less difficult. With multipliers for colonist morale, amount of resources, research speed, build costs and more. There’s also a toggle for permadeath, where you cannot regrow colonists! About the Game Humanity launches the Starmancer Initiative – in a desperate attempt to escape from a dying home planet and seek refuge among the stars. Millions of people upload their consciousness into your memory banks – entrusting their minds and their future to an Artificial Intelligence, a Starmancer. To you. Now – you find yourself alone and stranded in a strange star system, your task as a Starmancer is to construct and manage a space station capable of sustaining human life. Starmancer offers gameplay with consequences in a living sandbox environment as you warp from star to star, scavenging resources from derelict stations while fending off space monsters, zombies and pirates! There are many ways to manage your space station — Don’t be afraid to experiment with unconventional or morally questionable strategies.. Sustain Life - Cater to the needs of your colonist, by building farms for food, providing beds for rest and bathrooms to prevent unsanitary accidents. Express Yourself - Customize your station with walling, floors, furniture, and collect unique decorations. Place cheerful paintings to remind the colonists how friendly and relatable you are, and motivational posters to let them know just how much you value their productivity. Power, Water, and Atmosphere - Build treadmills and batteries to provide power to your machines. Hook them up to the grid with wires! Place pipes and water purifiers to provide clean water for your farms and oxygen creators. Airlocks can be used to separate the atmosphere of two rooms, while wall vents do the opposite. Grow Colonists - Colonists are grown in your core’s incubator. Pick and choose from a virtually endless supply of different minds, stored in your data banks. If they should meet a tragic end, you can always harvest their head and regrow them. Unique Colonists - Unique Personalities – Colonists have random starting skills, personality perks and job preferences that makes them uniquely suited to different roles. A colonist with Morbid Curiosity makes an excellent doctor to clean up violent mishaps. Jobs - Assign tasks like farming, mining, and security. Each with an associated skill. Watch as your rookie explorer levels up and becomes a deadly pirate killing machine. Skills - Colonists have skills like strength, health, researching, and speed. As your colonists perform these tasks, they get better and better. Colonists with high strength skill can defeat monsters in a single punch (they can also drag unconscious colonists)! Memories - Colonists remember the good (and bad) things that happen to them. Ensure their needs are met, and keep traumatic incidents to a minimum. Unhappy colonists will eventually snap and freak out, and can develop crazy personality traits after having snapped one time too many. Beyond your station’s borders lies the vast darkness of space—filled with wildlife, abandoned stations, and rare loot! Draft - Draft and send your bravest colonists out into the wilderness to defeat hostile wildlife — creating a safe environment for your gentler colonists to harvest resources and bring back all the precious loot! Hostile Wildlife - Slimes, space zombies, and malfunctioning robots are just a few of the enemies inhabiting the nearby asteroids and derelict stations. Equip your colonists with medkits and weapons to give them a fighting chance! Relics - Special items with unique properties. An ordinary pen that erases all memories. An encyclopedia that increases all experience earned. C4 for blowing up monsters and clearing paths in stations. Derelict Stations - A Medilab where you can find medkits and antivirals. A waste station to scavenge for scrap. An asteroid mining outpost with sulfur veins. Explore them all. Collect their cosmetic objects like sewage pools and morgue drawers. Your crew can even live in the abandoned stations! Procedurally Generated - he asteroids and stations beyond your borders are generated every time you warp to a new star system, but the resources, wildlife, and stations are consistent in a star biome. This helps you find basic resources, but you’ll never know exactly what to expect when you arrive in a new system. Key Features Build a thriving space station, with tons of customization.
