First dedicated server test run today. 2 clients ran the game for 4 hours with no issues.
I hope to have a alpha test within a month.
Most all systems are in and running.
Base building by players should be working by then.

Any updates to come for this or is the project scratched off?

Still working on things. Had a medical issue to deal with, people on vacation, etc.
Currently working on the mining aspect. Players can sell raw ores to NPC at the main base and market prices adjust. You can buy minerals from this vendor as well. GPR maps, drill hole maps, equipment locator maps all in and working.
One group is working on player built base dialogs and spawn code, mostly in and working now.
Players can claim a build site and set up a base. Owner of the site can add team members.
Design process is a bit more involved than I first thought but most of the mechanics are in and working.

Thanks for the reply Hyper. I hope all the medical stuff is getting cleared and out of your way. Keep up the good work!

Do you mean Controlled Robotics like Curiosity, Val, and Robonaut?

Some automated logistics will be nice...
It can be not really exiting to carry ore from few mining posts by yourself...

And controlled would be useful 2...
...Like in Moon Base Alpha... :)

We are still working on the mechanical details, the game art is not presentable enough for that kind of preview. Soon as we can yes it will be there.

Newer game art is being worked on as we speak. For now the buildings all get a facelift. Starting with the major parts first. Should have a new game test soon. PM me for request to test area.

Will the NPCs be physically present in the game world, or just in 'in the background'/behind the scenes and just be there on menus and stat screens and such.

If they are present in the game world, will they be mobile in any way and be able to do tasks, or just be stationary?
Will it be possible to interact with them, give them orders, etc?
I like the idea of having NPCs around the player's base, since it means a little more effort being needed  for growing crops, keeping O2 levels up, plenty of water stocked, etc.

Is there anything new for 'mine equipment', or is it basically the same stuff as is in MC:C now?

Edit:
Oh, will there be anything like aeroponics or hydroponics possible? Be it from the start, or as an upgrade/expansion to basic farming systems later on? Perhaps a combination hydroponics/aquaponics could be done, to grow plants on/in the same tanks as fish and other aquatic critters are raised in?

Boldly going forward, 'cause I can't find reverse.
