I agree, mime.

...

My name is John NanoTrasen and I endorse this mod.

For those that aren't in the Discord, work continues on the first major content update for the mod in idk how many years.First update will contain a new starting scenario with a pre-built station on an asteroid as well as overhauled raw material and refining production chains to bring the game in line with SS13 construction and production recipes. Please do remember that this is an overhaul mod and it will drastically change the game's progression.

Oh wow, I randomly remembered about this mod and it got an update????????

Honk?! Honk honk honk honk honk!

Yeah full steam ahead

can't believe this is now getting updated again, sweet

When I saw Odyssey, I instantly thought of this mod I can't wait for the vacuum mechanics to be put in and stuff

Early days yet, but nominally yeah

Holy shit, it's 1.6!

Epic mod

There won't be a "port" to the new update, the mod isn't set up to take advantage of half the new systems and it would be a pain in the ass to update, rather what I'm going to do is take advantage of the new systems to make the mod better than it was originally planned to be, for example now there's actually a system for replicating the vacuum of space whereas before there was not.
I am starting work on a new 1.6 version of the mod built to take advantage of the new stuff from Biotech and Odyssey, there will be no ETA but I will post updates every now and then on the Discord.

port this spess to 1.6 SOONISH!!!

Maybe I will

Keep up the good work, king. Would love to see this updated.

No pressure though.

Very much interested in seeing this updated c:

Good luck then, we can wait

oh whats this game about

I still work on it from time to time, I'm just working on my own game at the same time so it's not a priority.

is this still being worked on or did you just decide 1.0 will be the only and best version

Oh no

dear god this exists

The best version to play with is 1.0, none of the other versions are anywhere near as fleshed out

hey what version is needed to play this on? I wanna know if its compatable with 1.4. Thanks!

People that want to support the project can do so via the Ko-fi link on the steam page, if it generates enough interest I'd spend more time working on it but over the course of the last 8 years that hasn't happened so I can't make any promises.

are you willing to take support on this project. Ironically I would love to donate to this. Also "Help maint clown has chainsaw"

Oh my god

It'll be updated as/when I get the time and inclination to do so, I'm currently devoting most of my free time to developing my own game so my modding projects have taken a back seat. As for what, it'll probably be reintroducing the old 1.0 version features at first.

@Bendigeidfran when and what is going to be the next update for this mod?

Next mod: Rimweb

is there cuban pete in the mod?

oh my god the old sprites so soulful

Mostly /TG/ but honestly, I lost track along the way and probably added stuff from others

question what codebase is is this mod based off of?

sounds perfect! have a nice day/night ;D

Sure, I'll add spacecarp to the list for the first update, Megafauna would be better to leave for a future update focused on lavaland and the like because it'd give me more time to really make them fun and unique

or adding a bit of megafauna?

@Bendigeifran... well could there be more space carp variety? i truly love those critters... its nothing too ambitious

That's very kind of you, feel free to suggest an addition to the mod you'd like to see included in the next update and if I can fit it in within the timeframe I will

i donated a bit on kofi... i hope it helps you

Thanks guys, I greatly appreciate anyone considering contributing, it literally lets me buy groceries. We're not far from the first update now.

I wish I wasn't in a similar situation or else I'd love to shill out, I certainly spent enough time on older versions to justify a price. If I get back on my feet soon I'll deff shill out quite a few coffees :)

oh god no... i hope you can make it trough!! we all truly hope you do! best of luck

sorry to hear that,

I recently lost my job when the company I worked for went under, leaving me out about a month's wages, I then started a new job and my new employer has decided not to pay me after I worked a month over fulltime. This has left me in a really tenuous position financially, and in the short term I'm fucked. It's a shame this happened now because I was really enjoying working on the mod, so I've got a proposal that I hope can benefit everyone interested in seeing the mod come to fruition, while also doing me a favour during a really difficult period.

Every day that I'm tipped one (1) dollar+ on Ko-fi, I'll dedicate a minimum of one hour of my time to working on the mod. If I get more than a buck, I'll put in more time, with diminishing returns since there's only so many hours in the day. I can justify continuing to work on the mod, and y'all get regular progress made while also helping me out. I don't expect this to pay my rent or anything, but it doesn't have to, it just needs to justify the time spent.

I'll credit funded additions in the devlog entry on the Discord as well, so everyone'll know you're a spessman at heart. Thanks to anyone that considers participating.

We've got the old main menu back, new and improved which includes the clickable button under the title image that cycles through SS13 related quips, if you have any suggestions for memes or references I can add to that roster, do let me know

HE RETURNS, LONG LIVE SPESS
