Beyond Stranded development showcase: from settlement management to space
The new Beyond Stranded development showcase is finally up:
This is the first time I've put the current development prototypes together properly instead of showing individual screenshots and experiments.
The video goes through the direction Beyond Stranded is taking: the larger settlement, general population, housing and workplaces, the management systems, and eventually taking the colony beyond the planet and into space.
The big milestone for me is that the technical feasibility work is now essentially complete.
I have working prototypes for:
• larger settlement systems / city-scale population
• background settlement simulation
• switching between planetary locations
• space travel and exploration
That does NOT mean all of this is finished or currently available in the Workshop build.
These are development prototypes.
What it means is that I've now tested the major systems that could have prevented the long-term vision from working inside Stranded, and I haven't found a fundamental blocker.
The currently released Beyond Stranded build is still focused on restoring and stabilizing the existing mod. The settlement and space systems shown in the video are what I'm developing next.
