What’s crackalackin’, folks! I can think of something that’s crackalackin’: The codex. We’ve all been there. You’re at work (boring). You can’t stop thinking about your Stardeus save. You think to yourself, "Awh man, I wish I could do some planning. I can’t wait to get back home and play for 15 hours straight this Friday." But then – it hits you. "What if… What if I take screenshots of all the codex pages so I can read through every part of the game and be an unstoppable all-powerful AI, just like Spajus intended?"

Hey everyone!I wanted to reveal a bit of history and reasoning behind the new UI update. This was the 7th iteration of the UI. The first 6 are briefly documented in the art book (The Journey DLC), which will eventually be appended with the 7th iteration too. Let’s shine a light on some of the details for you, which should hopefully address some of the criticism the new UI has received. CollaborationThe UI rework was my collaboration with Mikhail Gofman aka Ingevar. He had an absurdly difficult task of reorganizing the chaotic, organically grown legacy UI into something coherent and easy to use

What's up, everyone! Work on the new major update is finally entering the final phase, and this is where we need your help! Like with all previous major updates, brave explorers are welcome to try it before everyone else and give us some feedback and bug reports. We can't disclose the full list of changes just yet (there are too many, and there will be a separate post about them on the day of public release), but the biggest difference will obviously be the new UI. People who tried it have all been loving it! When asked if they'd want to switch back to the old UI they've all said no! If you fe

As you might or might not know - we're reworking the UI. You probably have a lot of questions... So did I... however, I got the chance to sit down with spajus and ask him some questions about this so called "UI overhaul". Here are the most pressing questions & answers. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38884233/05d54ff2c0a9cce23f2a651baa6906970a8ddcc5.pngUI REWORK WORK IN PROGRESS MAY SUBJECT TO CHANGE How long it will take to rework the UI? (I heard half a year, maybe more?) It's difficult to estimate, but I hope to be finished before GTA6 comes out. The new UI is bundled along with another major feature -

Stardeus is an ambitious space game that came out back in 2022, combining the management design and strategy focus of projects like Rimworld, FTL, Factorio, and Stellaris into something new.

The latest of these is Stardeus' Ship Combat update, which provides a huge number of improvements and major new systems that seem well worth checking out. Read the rest of the story... RELATED LI
