Hiya everyone!

We have lift-off on Space Academy! You can find the full blog post here, including the free quality-of-life changes to the base game:

Build #3.0.117910 

Space Academy (Paid DLC)

• Three new Campus locations
• Six new student archetypes
• Three new events including Sci-fi Conventions, Space Battles, and an out-of-this-world gig act.
• New Time Tourism Club
• LOTS of new items!

Free Update 3.0

Quality of Life Improvements:

• Added new visualisation mode to show which items are ready to be upgraded
• Added Queue Management (version 1)
  • You can now see student's position in queues & move them up or down to suit your needs
• Added a Career Goal Completed inbox message to help players claim their kudosh
• Added some new animations for the Love Bench item
• (Archaeology) Added a button on the "Dig-Site" empty notification to take you to that particular Dig-site
• Commercial Research Projects have a different background colour, making it easier to differentiate between Academic & Commercial projects
• Added A new feeling "Missed Class" to apply to students if they miss a class due to problems with a class (like no teacher, or missing items). This debuff will reduce happiness and make students more likely to consider dropping out or refusing to pay fees
• Added tooltips on the Campus Overview for Staff and Student happiness
• Queuing behaviour improvements:
  • Students will now prioritise needs over sitting down
  • Students will try to stay in front of the room doors rather than going round the back of rooms

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where some players were experiencing stick drift on Steam Deck
• Fixed a bug where Knight school teachers were sometimes standing in front of the Combat Dummy and blocking students from using it 
• Fix for players Room Template descriptions not showing the Room Template tooltip
• Fixed a bug where the “Build research room” objective wasn’t auto-completing if you had already built the room earlier
• Fixed a bug where Internet History students weren’t using the VR Projector when they had a self-study project that required it 
• Added more stability improvements & memory optimisations
• Various minor bug fixes

That's all for now! We hope you all enjoy the new content, whether you get the new DLC or not. As always, if you encounter any bugs, please report them in the Bug section of the forum for our team to investigate!

Happy Space Academy day!
