Bugs

• Freezeup on save game load (Luke) - manifested as your turn and yet the game does not respond to any action requests.
  
• Possible fix for ‘'NoneType' object has no attribute 'find_immediate_LdrI'’ (Luke) -we’ll see.

Hello board members!

Thank you all for your continued support since launch. We’ve listened closely to your feedback (and reviewed our own) to identify the biggest challenge facing our intrepid entrepreneurs. The result?

Rise of Industry 2’s first major content update!

So, what’s changed?

New Feature - Construction Manager:

Have more oversight into the jobs of your builders and quickly adjust different project’s priorities as needed and jump between sites.

Need something done as soon as possible? Push it to the top of your construction queue and freely move tasks up or down the list.

Improvement - Byproduct production:

The way that byproducts are calculated has been adjusted, to make it clearer what is being produced where and when. It should now reflect what is being output more realistically

New Feature - Contact management:

We heard your feedback with how contacts were made, maintained, and utilised. We agree that the way to navigate to your contacts and establish new connections can be quite difficult and overwhelming. As such, we have reworked the system. Reach out to other companies based on a target resource, link with new industry moguls via your employees, and network externally easier than before.

Improvement - Staff management:

You can now hire and assign VPs more easily, selecting the role you want them to fill, rather than rejecting them, or slotting them into a role they aren't suited for.

New Feature - Hotkeys:

You may be familiar with these already, but to make it simpler for you to navigate the intricate world of tycoon building, remappable hotkeys have now been added!

Changelog:

Version 1.1.0

• Added Construction Manager

• Added hotkeys for the following tabs (F1-F9 respectively): VP/managers, Vendor relations, Contracts, Deliveries, Reports, Investors, Production Manual, Toggle land management, and Toggle deposits view.

• Clarified Byproduct production to show the amount produced and how frequently.

• Added new UI for Vendor relations

  • All relations (Current and potential) are now sorted based on the resource they deal in

  • Socialize with existing partners who deal in a desired resource

  • Use existing contacts to introduce you to other industrialists with ease

  • Cold call new contacts for a chance to spread your influence

  • Companies can still be found through the existing company menu

• Improved hiring members to your board

  • Hiring is initiated like normal.

  • The successful candidate can now be assigned to any vacant position

• Added new socialisation options for other companies

  • Brainstorm ideas to trade research for influence.

  • Conduct Facility tours, which allow you to gain large amounts of influence for a price

• Utility reports are now complex based. Daily capacity and usage allows for a clearer view of your factories needs.

• Disconnected pipes, roads, and wires now have a separate visualization so breaks are clearer.

• Limits can be set on pipe connections for sending/receiving

• Various controller fixes and QoL updates

• Updated the controller reticle

-Minor improvements

Since launch, Space Tourist has been about wonder — flying across the stars, landing on mysterious worlds, planting flags, and capturing the beauty of the unknown.

I'm excited to officially announce that three new game modes are coming to Space Tourist — each offering a fresh way to play, with unique objectives and flavour, all while staying true to the game’s relaxed, immersive spirit.

---

This is the original Space Tourist experience. No pressure, no goals — just pure exploration. Fly. Land. Wander. Photograph. Reflect.

---

“You’ve been everywhere. Now it’s time to leave your mark.”

In this new mode, you’ll become a planetary surveyor.
Your mission? Complete exploration contracts — this mode gives purpose to your wanderings — and turns your journal into a badge of honour.

Release window: Later this year.

---

“Something’s out there. Follow the trail.”

A strange echo has been detected — a low, pulsing signal that seems to ripple across the galaxy.
No one knows what’s generating it, or why it’s moving. But one thing’s certain: it’s leaving a trail.

In this narrative-driven mode, you’ll follow a breadcrumb trail of distant coordinates, tracking the echo across carefully selected systems. Each stop offers a clue — a moment — a piece of the puzzle.

Your journey might uncover:

• Abandoned research posts

• Mysterious planetary events

• Lost messages and encoded data

• Or something far older than you expected…

This is a slower, more meditative mode — perfect for explorers who want mystery over mechanics, and wonder over weapons.

More details coming soon.

---

“Low fuel. No backup. Get home or die trying.”

The galaxy isn’t always gentle. In The Survivor, you’ll start with a damaged spacesuit and limited fuel.
To survive, you’ll need to land on dangerous planets, scavenge rare fuel deposits, and manage each jump carefully as you limp toward your home system.
This is a resource-light, risk-heavy challenge mode — where exploration isn’t optional, it’s survival.

---

These new game modes are designed to expand Space Tourist in gentle, modular ways — layering meaning and structure onto the systems you already know, without compromising the calm, meditative tone.

They’re not replacing the core game — they’re giving you new roles to play within this beautiful universe.

I'd love your feedback as we shape what’s next.

Much love,
Rhys
