Build and manage space outposts on the Moon and Mars in this realistic simulation game. From the first step on the Moon to Mars colonization, launch rockets, take care of your astronauts and expand your base as you explore the cosmos. No grind, just pure management and exploration fun.
Release 1.3 - Water Mining Now Available
One of the primary challenges of prolonged lunar stays is managing the essential resource of water, particularly for cooling space suits. Water, a critical resource for extended missions, is scarce on the Moon. It rapidly evaporates during the lunar day and only persists in shaded, underground areas. Fortunately, the Outer Space Shack landing site is optimally positioned in high latitudes, offering opportunities to find water behind the northern faces of hills or in deep craters.

This update introduces two key pieces of equipment: a water mining sensor for subterranean detection, and a derrick to drill and extract lunar water. These tools, brought from Earth, are highly efficient, capable of extracting up to ten times their weight in water. The yield varies depending on the shade levels of each game tile.
Future updates will explore the disassembly and relocation of the derrick and water sensor to new extraction sites.
We've also enhanced the realism of the lunar water cycle. EVA suits now only use water cooling when temperatures are high. It's most efficient to mine water at night or dawn, as day-time extraction could consume nearly all the water for suit cooling.
Other improvements in this release include an enhanced time-lapse visualization with the fast-forward button, added lights for astronauts in shadowy areas, and new lighting for building construction tasks.
Stay tuned for upcoming releases with more improvements and features!
