In 2023, Stardeus celebrated its first birthday. It is a game in the vein of RimWorld, Factorio, and Oxygen Not Included, published by Paradox Arc (a Paradox Interactive label).
Developer Kodo Linija prepared a festive update for Stardeus, introducing an entirely new research system that offers more freedom of choice and action.
- The approach to the tutorial system was overhauled, and the navigation system was simplified.
- The universe generation algorithm was updated: a flexible biome system is now used to determine the properties of each planet, star system, and galaxy (previously, the universe mostly consisted of several types of randomly generated planets grouped into star systems and galaxies).
- The fire and explosion system was completely removed to build a new one: for instance, fire behaves more predictably (it will spread only if oxygen is present, etc.), and explosions should also become “more logical”.
- The balance of Stardeus has been reworked, and more: details can be found in the major update notes here.
