We have a patch planned for later this week which includes the Interior Designer, as well as some changes to the moon city, moon gate station, and ship weapons that we wanted to warn you about.
The moon city, as well as the moon gate station, will be moving to new locations. This means that any players or ships at the current locations will essentially be in the middle of nowhere after the patch. They will not be moving along with the city or the station, unless ships are in the station inventory. We recommend de-spawning the ship to the station inventory on the moon gate's station if you want to keep it there.
Additionally, ship weapons will have some material changes coming in the patch which will affect durability. Thus, there may be durability issues appearing in old ships after the patch.
On a happier note, Interior Designer is making its way into the game with this upcoming patch. Interior Designer is an extension to the Lot Designer which essentially enables you to decorate. However, Lot and Interior Designer do not have support for multiplayer designing yet. The blueprint does not show up for other players and if players build on a section started by the owner, the section will disappear after they leave. Because of this, we cannot recommend building lots or interiors together yet.
The Interior Designer does enable players to build the first automated set-ups for ore collecting on lots, for example. We are eager to see what our Closed Alpha testers can come up with for their lot interiors!
As always, please be patient with us and wait for the patch notes and the patch for more information of its contents.
Closed Alpha disclaimer:
We have entered a development phase where significant changes are coming in every major patch. These may have a big impact on your gameplay and we are sorry about the inconvenience and possible frustration! Through these updates, the game is starting to come together and pieces are falling into place. We hope that this is also visible to all our players and everybody who follows the game. Regardless we will continue to try and notify our Closed Alpha players of the biggest incoming changes the best we can.
