You are the Prospector and your job is simple; Collect resources and ship them off-world. Build an outpost on a frontier planet and use supply lines to safely explore its oxygen-less environment. Assemble robots for automation and strike shipping deals with distant colonies for exclusive rewards.

Each strike sends out a scan that will look for subterranean deposits. Follow the green scan line to the source and strike the ground again to unearth a brand new mineral deposit which can be mined with O.P.H.E.L.I.A.!

I made a ton of smaller changes including UI overhauls, game feel adjustments, and brand new particle effects. [h3]Structure effects to make things juicer 🔥[/h3] All the game’s crafting stations have working effects like steam, smoke, and sparks to make crafting feel more lively and tactile.

This means logistics bots will only collect resources for that specific structure and effectively automate its production.

I also added key rebinding and a variety of other new settings options so you can customize your experience.
