Space Haven is preparing for a Full Release in 2026. With this goal in mind we have already made multiple updates this year, and will continue on that path up until the Full Release.

We will keep updating with various Improvements, Quality of Life updates, and new features and content we still want available for the full release. The updates up until the Full Release will be named Release Candidate (RC) updates.

Start Crew Appearance: You can now customize the head type, skin color, hair color, outfit and sleeves.

We've created more customization possibilities of the start crew. You can now customize the head type, skin color, hair color, outfit and sleeves of the Start Crew Members. This addition along with being able to save crew members for future starting crews will address the wishes of many players.

The old shuttle and craft inventory has been improved to be more clear.

We've improved on the old placeholder craft inventory to be more clear and allow better control. This should make the control of shuttles and cargo shuttles more clear and better than before. Unloading resources from cargo shuttles will be easier using the select all button.

Comfort values, both positive and negative, now spread symmetrically from facilities.

The comfort values were not spreading symmetrically from facilities before. We have now improved on the system so that the comfort values spread symmetrically from facilities. This includes both positive and negative comforts.

• Start Crew Customization: Added the possibility to customize the appearance of the start crew. You can now customize the head type, skin color, hair color, outfit and sleeves.

• Improved Craft Inventory: Shuttle, Container and pod inventory UIs have been improved.

• Added some introduction dialogue texts into the Exodus fleet quest status window.

• Renamed the Siren Scanning station mission specific facilities to clarify which facilities are to be built on the station.

• Added an error notification for when all airlocks have been set to have trading disallowed. As this will stop any trades from progressing.

• Made the comfort values from facilities spread in a more symmetric way as it was not symmetric before. May impact current ship/station designs in terms of comfort values in rooms.

• Increased the priority on bringing resources for repair of facilities. Now repairing a facility will have a high priority but the player can still prioritize a blueprint instead by setting the high construct priority.

• Added a prioritize resources button to a facility needing resources for repairs.

• Added big notes on Oxygen levels falling below a threshold and CO2 rising above a threshold on a ship/station. These notifications can be turned off in the notification settings.

• Increased the amount of tools acquired per infrablock in the tools facility.

• Fixed issues with having an enemy crew member and player crew member stand in the same tile and issuing orders like talk, execute, etc with another player crew member.

• Fixed issues with using action commands with a player crew member on a tile having both a rogue bot and enemy crew member in the same tile.

• Fixed bugs.

Space Haven is preparing for a Full Release in 2026. The exact date will be announced in the near future. With this goal in mind we have already made multiple smaller updates this year, and will continue on that path up until the Full Release.

We will keep updating with various Improvements, Quality of Life updates, and new features and content we still want available for the full release. The updates up until the Full Release will be named Release Candidate (RC) updates.

Crew member and logistics bots will now be able to carry more than 1 crates.

We've worked on the logistics system and implemented support for a so called multi-box (crate) carry feature. The current range is between 1 to 3 crates. Logistics bot are now also able to haul 3 crates at a time. The Salvage Bot stays at 1 crate.

Not all crew members will be able to carry more than 1 crate. The carry capacity depends on their stats, with the zest value increasing the capacity. Additionally some traits give an additional carry capacity. Some conditions, like post-surgery conditions will temporarily decrease the carry capacity.

Crew members can now sometimes pick up stuff on the way if they the see an opportunity for it.

Crew members and logistic bots are now able to be a little more effective at checking whether they can pick up another crate on their way to their destination, already holding a crate or two. Note that this won't happen every time, but they will sometimes be able to evaluate and pick up an additional box on their path.

The shuttle is now capable of loading 20 resource crates into its storage for transportation.

We've increased the resource storage capacity of shuttle from 10 to 20. This will enable the shuttles to be more effective when transporting resources between ships or stations.

Trades can now be done with 20 resources items at a time instead of 10.

We've increased the maximum items per trade from 10 to 20. This will help make trades be carried out more smoothly and allow for less consecutive trades needed for larger resource amounts.

Enjoy the new update and stay tuned, Spacefarer.

We have some news to share. Space Haven is preparing for a Full Release in 2026. The exact date will be announced in the near future. With this goal in mind we have already made multiple smaller updates this year, and will continue on that path up until the Full Release.

We will keep updating with various Improvements, Quality of Life updates, and new features and content we still want available for the full release. The updates up until the Full Release will be named Release Candidate (RC) updates. We still plan to continue development after the Full Release.

Faction relationships have been reworked to allow for some new features.

We have reworked the faction relationship system, which up until now has just been an old placeholder system. Faction relationships can now go from enemies to friendly, with new systems implemented allowing you to take a loan from factions or hiring crew members.

Additionally, gift demands have been lowered substantially. For now, we decided to keep the same system but lowered the percentage demands substantially. While they can still ask for a lot it is not as much as it was before.

Some factions will now offer loans should you need extra credits especially in the beginning stages.

We added the ability to take loans, offered by certain factions depending on the relationship stance you have with them. Loans can be especially useful in the early stages, when resources and credits are tight. Factions not being paid back will hail you and put pressure to pay up or suffer the consequences.

You can now hail faction ships and stations and see if they have new crew members for sale.

Factions now sometimes have crew members for sale, bringing an additional way to acquire new crew members. You can hail faction ships or stations and inquire whether they have crew members for sale.

Crew members now all have a first and last name. Additionally, you can save and load crew members.

All crew members now have a first and last name. How does this differ from before? Earlier, it was only possible to add a longer general name for crew members. This meant that the name was displayed in-game above characters. If it was very long, it could obscure too much and not look great.

Now, with the new system, only the first name is displayed in-game above characters, while both the first and the last name are displayed in other user interface elements when the crew member is selected.

Save and Load Crew Members. You can now customize your crew member and save them to be used again should you want the same crew member in a new playthrough.

Sandbox mode now allows spawning new crew members.

We added the ability to spawn new crew members when playing with the Sandbox mode turned ON. You can spawn various types of crew members to be added to your crew.

Sandbox mode now has a toggle for turning on instant-build of facilities.

We have added a toggle in the build menu for turning instant-build ON when playing in the Sandbox mode. This allows placing blueprints for facilities and have them be constructed instantly when placed.

An isometric bandbox selector allows easier selection of facilities in a room and crew members in rows.

We have made the bandbox selector isometric and improved how crew members and facilities and rooms are selected when using bandbox selector. Previously the selector has not been isometric, while everything else in the game is isometric.

The new bandbox selector may take a little time to get used to if the old one has been played with. However, once gotten used to it should work well and fit the game better with all else being isometric as well.

You will be able to turn them ON or OFF but for the big notifications appearing in the middle of the screen we also added another smaller version. Be mindful with turning off notifications as many of the critical functions in the game depend on being aware of them.

• IMPROVED AI: Made crew members switch medical beds when there is a need for a person to be in an advanced medical bed but it is already occupied by a person with only the need for a normal medical bed and there is one free.

• Modified behavior of how NPC's try to fix other ships in sector belonging to the same faction.

• In station mode a damaged NPC ship will become derelict if it has been long in the sector. Even if other ships of the same faction are present.

• Adjusted the cursor selector tile colors when controlling drafted crew members.
