New Update for Ascent: The Space Game Offers Outer Planetary Colonization

A massive new update has been launched for Ascent: The Space Game that adds plenty of new features and fixes including the ability to begin outer planetary colonizations. The update comes from the work of a lone Australian developer named James Hicks, and fans can show their support for the game by voting for Ascent: The Space Game on the official Ascent: The Space Game Steam Greenlight page and trying the new update for the game today. Read on.

Ascent: The Space Game Update Features:

• Ascent players can now colonize the 270 billion+ outer star systems!
• This feature is a complete city-building sim included in the existing MMO. Cities can grow to be up to 100km in radius, and there is no hard coded limit on the number of buildings or colonists.
• Designed to be the new endgame for industrialist players, Colonization has more depth and complexity than previous features.
• Outer planets generally have very hostile environments—necessitating the use of Environmental Domes, which are huge and require a lot of complex materials to construct.
• Players can then program and configure their Domes into a habitable state by adjusting the radiation, temperature, gravity, atmospheric composition and pressure inside.
• Colonists can then be recruited and transported to colonies.
• Colonial farming and mining are more complex and involved than in the inner system cities players built earlier in the game, since these new colonies have no starting population, support or infrastructure, and hostile environments.
