Moin Moin We've made some exciting changes and improvements that we don't want to keep from you. Here are the details of the latest update: We have introduced a new module, the RTG. This module produces and stores power and replaces the battery in the Pioneer from the outset when the distance to the sun is great, for example in orbit around Mars. The RTG module uses the new resource ‘Radioactive Isotopes’ for operation. These isotopes can be found on asteroids. Another new feature is that residents can now be moved manually between living quarters. This gives you more flexibility in managing your settlement. We have also added side quests. Smaller quests may appear from time to time, offering additional challenges and rewards. Note: Currently there are still few side quests, but we are working on adding more.

Moin Moin We are happy to release another patch for Heliopolis Six! In this patch we have made some important improvements that were requested by you: Quality settings: Finally you can adjust the graphics quality of the game. New filters: In the menus where you interact with the station residents, you can now use filters to find what you're looking for more quickly. There is also a change to the residents: they now take a little time to move around the station. We plan to introduce interior views of the station in the future so you can see what the residents are doing and how they move from one area to another.

Moin Moin There is good news. We are well on the way to finalising the next update. Here are a few things we are currently working on that you can look forward to: Revised tutorial with new structure and more user-friendly UI Loading screens with images and text Slightly improved loading times Main menu resume button a new atmospheric song and of course bug fixes In addition, the roadmap promised at the time has moved from the realm of the possible to the realm of the probable. As it is not possible to transfer saves from the old tutorial to the new one, loading old tutorial saves will result in the tutorial being cancelled. See you soon!

Moin Moin With the latest patch, the revised research menu and new research options were introduced. You no longer have to click through the marketplace to get to the research assignments. The new basic research offers the possibility to improve modules or station parts. The next major change will affect the search for minable objects. We are working on a new station part that will allow you to scan the space around the station for these objects. This scanner will be able to operate with two processes: searching for objects and examining objects to determine their nature. Once the scanner has found an object, it can be marked for mining as usual. The scanner has a limited range, which can be extended by building several scanners. In addition, we are revising the tutorial. It will be divided into several missions and offers a first small insight into the backstory of H6. This will be the…

Moin Moin In the last two weeks, we have had to devote ourselves to heat calculation again due to some errors. But we also have a new feature for you. All modules that can research have been given a new function. And that is automatic research. If this function is activated, the corresponding modules will immediately start accepted research tasks. And when the task is finished and there is no further task, the process that the module was doing before is continued. This eliminates a lot of clicking. Next, we want to give research its own menu. This will eliminate the detour via the marketplace. See you next time.

This function can be switched on and off. If the function is switched on, research tasks are prioritized and the previously selected process is continued after completion.

Moin Moin This week we have continued to work on the resource overviews and it is now displayed at which point how much is flowing through the station. Now you can also see how loaded a connection is. Since it gets warmer the closer a station is to the sun, the Pioneer gets two resp. three heat radiators instead of solar panels when you start your station on Venus or Mercury. Furthermore, we have edited the research tasks a little. They now take longer, but you get a reward for each completed production cycle in addition to the completion reward. This should help to avoid having to constantly search for and complete research tasks. In the near future, we want to devote more time to research in the game and revise the menu navigation. See you next week.
