Welcome, players, to the new Outerstellar patch. All progress has been reset and we are thrilled to introduce the new Space Station and a new map to the game! The Space Station serves as the main hub of the server and lets you spawn inside it when you join for the first time or when you die on the planet. You can meet other colonizers, equip items from the Uplink Storage, and drop down into the world or use the teleporters to spawn in your base. Stay tuned for future Space Station modules that are already in the works. We are eager to see how this change affects the gameplay.

BUGS
