This has been a long time in the making. I'm proud to present version 0.6.0: "Achievements!"
This patch focuses on a bunch of Steam API integration. You'll now find gameplay stats and scores tracking on the Steam, saves being pushed to Steam's cloud and shared among the computers you use the same Steam account with, and, most importantly, 48gorgeous/awesome/wtf-is-that-poopachievements unlockable through Steam (in-game menu TBD).
This represents a significant milestone in DA's development, though there's undoubtedly a ways to go. As such, a longtime promise will also be coming down the pipeline:
The price of Destination Ares will go up soon.
Expect it to go up again, once more, before the full release.
It's time for the notes!
General
Added option to delete ship designs
Added Steam Cloud saving and syncing
Added some new stats
Added Steam Stats syncing
Fixed the secret Feast event so it actually feeds crew, rather than just healing them
Made a few minor code improvements
Added and Enabled the following Steam Achievements (current count: 48):
One final note: I wasn't able to test everything. If you encounter issues with certain achievements, or have weird crashes (you shouldn't, but I can't guarantee that on 32-bit), please let me know!

Just one week ago we posted about our community event, the Planet Coaster Blueprint Bonanza: our joint effort to push our Workshop numbers into triple digits. We’re so proud to say that we did it! We’ve now officially passed 100,000 items in the Steam Workshop, an incredible number which shows your amazing creativity and passion for the game. Thank you so much for working together and helping us reach this great milestone!
Remember: every entry uploaded between March 22 (3PM GMT) and March 30 (2AM BST, the moment we actually hit 100k) counted as one entry into the Blueprint Bonanza prize draw. You all had a chance to win Planet Coaster goodie bags, signed posters, the official soundtrack on vinyl, a Hyper X headset and gaming keyboard, and the grand prize which is an annual pass to the theme park of your choice!
Our winners were randomly selected and all followed the original rules of the event. Without further ado, a huge congratulations to:
And the GRAND PRIZE: Chambre Chateau by Droopy! You have won an annual pass to the theme park of your choice!
We will contact all the winners via Steam and/or email. After we've been in touch, all winners have 7 days to respond and claim their prize, as well as the right to decline their prize. In that case we will re-draw another random winner and go from there.
If you happen to see your Steam name on here, you may also contact us at community@frontier.co.uk
Thanks again for all your dedication and the 100,000 masterful creations you’ve uploaded to our Workshop!
On to the next 100k!
