Patch Notes 0.1.3

☀️ Fixes & Improvements Based on Community Feedback

☀️ Multiple Save Files

• Added a "Load Game" button, which opens an overview of all existing save files for the current level.

• Each save will now include a screenshot of the last visited asteroid, displayed in the overview.

Note 1: All previous save files will appear in the list but without a screenshot. A screenshot will be added once the save is loaded and an asteroid is entered.

Note 2: On first startup after the update, the game will regenerate metadata for all save files. This may cause a longer initial loading time.

☀️ Achievement Rebalancing

• Removed achievements for completing sectors without upgrades.

• Rebalanced some score achievements so they are only achievable with upgrades (Levels 03.1, 05.1, and 07).

• Regular score achievements now use rainbow-colored icons and the "Star Bird" title.

Note: If you already earned the "without upgrades" achievement, it will remain visible in your in-game overview but is no longer a Steam achievement.

☀️ Skip Dialogues

• After completing a sector, a new option appears in the level selection screen to replay the sector without tutorials or dialogues.

Note: Changing this option in Level Selection only affects new games started after the change, not existing save files.

Bugfixes & Changes

• ☀️ Sector 04: fixed save games not loading properly (Continue not working) after entering the excavation asteroid but not building an excavation hub.

• ☀️ Fixed cutscene subtitles triggering during the wrong cutscene after skipping one.

• ☀️ Fixed a bug where pathdrawing sounds could break and loop permanently.

• ☀️ Fixed cutscenes not resuming when closing the skip menu with the close button instead of pressing Esc.

• ☀️ Added rebindable "+" hotkey to upgrade selected building.

• Fixed unplaced melters incorrectly melting ice when another melter was deleted during placement.

• Added VFX for the ice extractor and melter.

• Upgrading solar panels in Levels 05–07 no longer increases their energy from 0 to 1 in non-zenith areas; they now only increase from 1 to 2 inside zenith areas.
