Commander!

I have received an emergency report from a few nearby stations and put the R.F.S. units to work right away. Update 1.4.2 for Windows, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4/5 and Xbox One/X/S includes several improvements, such as a newly added trade and production tutorial. It also fixes the issue where input hits for the gamepad would stop showing after the controller gets disconnected.

Update also 1.4.2 fixes an issue where the ‘Inner Peace’ achievement would not unlock.

Thank you for supporting Spacebase Startopia with your feedback and suggestions.
