A public summary of the systems now playable in the alpha and the foundations still being expanded.

12 Jul 2026

Focused the game on one deterministic, procedurally generated planet and the survival of a single expedition.

Built the playable alpha loop from orbital ship triage and first landing through settlements, survival, logistics, weather, disease, and expansion.
Added named specialists with generated portraits, eight skill domains, professions, rank, mood, earned traits, relationships, factions, and a linked colony chronicle.
Added ten colonizable planet archetypes, 249 authored biomes, deterministic terrain, day and night, pressure systems, forecasts, and environmental hazards.
Added procedural raw materials with nine hidden property axes, layered analysis, research-gated processing, production, and material-aware logistics.
Added sectors, delegation, automated exploration and supply lines, story missions, and a full event-driven tutorial arc.
Introduced the tactical combat framework with action points, cover, guard, withdrawal, and consequences that return to the strategic layer.
Redesigned the interface as a mission instrument: graphite surfaces, porcelain ink, one instrument-gold signal color, hairline structure, rulers, and numbered records.

Expanded regions to 11 × 11 locations and updated the largest world scale to 6,424 × 3,212 locations.
Improved terrain and biome parity, map relief, cursor-anchored zoom, onboarding, surveillance, and weather presentation.
