Sci-fi management game launched last December, as well as the free Green Mars expansion that accompanied the most recent 1.5 update.
Today's 1.5.2 patch brings some extra quality-of-life features, such as changes to resource scattering so that there are now a guaranteed number of each resource in a sector. There's a new easier difficulty option called 'Story' for campaign mode, and 'Playground' for the sandbox mode, with other levels apart from the hardest option getting renamed.
In addition to today's patch, a beta for the next major revision – 1.6 – will hit Steam on December 16 and run through to December 23. This should include the first version of a multiplayer mode. "This is a very big system," developer Tlön Industries explains, "so we do not quite know yet when the update [will be] truly ready as a lot of fine-tuning, fixing, and potentially systems are still required. This will just be a first look, to collect your , test the systems, and see what we need to refine still."
With regards to the new expansion, all we've got is this incredibly brief teaser trailer and the release window:
