Just in case anyone is wondering and hasn't /can't check the dev's socials; progress is happening even though there have been no updates here (cf bluesky) - a lot of it seems to be graphical (a shame for us since we've older machines that won't like that and content is what we're lacking! ;) But then again this isn't an abandoned project unlike most on itch.io!
Thank you for your continued work Curious Owl! <3 :)
Is there any reasearches to unlock besides the ones given to you from the start? And are there other systems if you go into outer space?
Also I cannot wait for more content in this game! If only you knew how much I loved these type of space exploration games! I thank you so much for such an awesome game!
I wanted to suggest maybe a spacesuit of different tiers for longer times without the ship's oxygen source or even a tube that you can connect to the ship so you can be a certain distance from your ship also allowing us to pull ourselves back to the ship using it or a seperate item that we can use to pull us back to the ship.
I don't plan to update this alpha for the time being, as I'm focused on a Steam page + demo. You can look forward to the demo for different content & visual improvements!
I took note of your suggestion on your other comment for spacesuits/tubes when you're outside in space. Thanks.
Hi :) Thank you for your suggestions! I took note of them.
For giving an item, you can either use the free build cheat with F2 (you have to enable dev tools in the options menu first) or you can edit your save file located in "C:\Users\(YOUR_USER)\AppData\LocalLow\CuriousOwlGames\StellarDrive\saves"
You can't manually stack items right now. You could drop your item in a chest and then shift + click it to retrieve it. It will automatically try to stack if iirc.
Thanks for the suggestion! The game won't prevent you from having 10 players, but it is not very optimized for that. You might encounter issues like high bandwidth usage and lag.
That's why I recommend sticking to 4 players for now, even if the game has no hard limit.

I don't know yet.

So glad to hear and leaves me even more excited! (hope to God this doesn't become paid even though dev deserves it ToT)
Edit: just found out itll be a paid game. But still totally buying >:3
Thanks for clarifying that! I should do announcements on Itch too to keep you guys in the loop.
The new version will be more demanding on your PC for sure. I'll see if I can add graphical settings to keep it playable for everyone.

Will there be keybinds and HOTAS/controller compatability?
I plan to do customizable keybinds. Controllers or hotas might come later, but they're not my focus right now.
hi i was wondering can you add a mod feature and where are my save games stored?
Hello! Thanks for the modding suggestion. You can find your save files here:
C:\Users\(YOUR_USER)\AppData\LocalLow\CuriousOwlGames\StellarDrive\saves
Add a late game craftable item that allows you to pick up ships and rotate them, because i flip my rover over and now i cant flip it back
also add a rope that you can attach to the outside of the ship in space to do repairs and fuel without drifting away
another suggestion, with the targeting computer make it a thing with pages and arrows you click, or a scroll list
i have a suggestion from my friend, and it was to add a friend system to join people, with a simple 4 digit passcode
also on itch there should be a planning board so we can see what all you are planning
and maybe also add some item giving commands and attach a pdf on itch and bluesky that has command syntax :)

Can you add 10 player multiplayer pls

Will there be a Mac version?
Mac support is not planned at the moment.
You misunderstood me, I hope you translate it correctly. ( Будет ли когда-то Mac версия? )
Am I the only person who thinks this is a ripoff of Space engineers? I'm not saying it is, I'm just saying it looks a lot like it
its free, and this is an alpha version, so you have no clue what is in stock for us in the future
This game is insane ! Im surely gonna buy the full version on steam when it come out
Thank you <3
It's going to be soooo atmospheric and authentic in VR!
I hope we will live not only to see the release of the game, but also to fully support VR.
Thank you for your comment! I'm not prioritizing VR right now, but it might be a possibility in the future. I'll keep that in mind.
can we expect further updates in the future?
I'm currently focused on a Steam version and its demo. You can look forward to those for new content :)
im looking forward to new stuff
