SpaceStationSim 2100 Patch description
Build your own International Space Station and crew. Watch out for the tourist!
SpaceStationSim gets you up close and personal with your own crew of astronauts who live and play in outer space! Build and customize your space stations any way that you want, with loads of modules and cool components. There are millions of combinations !
Send your astronauts on EVA missions and perform experiments in micro-gravity. Keep them happy and healthy by managing their day to day activities like eating, sleeping, and exercising. But look out for that bumbling space tourist! He will get in your astronauts' way, break equipment, start fires and, sometimes, accidentally eject himself into space. SpaceStationSim was developed by Vision Videogames in collaboration with NASA through a Space Act agreement.
More than 50 NASA astronauts and top civil servants have contributed their expertise to the game. SpaceStationSim is designed to appeal to gamers 12 and older, both men and women, with an interest in NASA and its partners in space exploration for you to find and explore throughout the entire game.

What's New in This Release:
· Astronaut clicking - You can now right-click on an astronaut in order to select that astronaut in your HUD. This makes it much easier to give new orders to any astronaut that you can see in cut-away mode. You can also left-click on an astronaut to open the task list for that astronaut (for compliments, insults, talking, and taking a break).
· Astronaut agency flags - The astronaut panel in the HUD now displays the current astronaut's corresponding agency flag next to their name.
· Astronaut clothes - More clothing choices for astronauts have been added to Astro Builder.
· More airlocks - You can now launch up to 3 Quest Airlock modules to your station.
· Micrometeor strikes - The station can now suffer from micrometeor strikes, which require an EVA from the Quest Airlock in order to recover.
· Sunlight - Dramatic day/night cycle lighting! The station now darkens and lightens according to the position of the Sun in the sky.
· Other lights - Some of the lighting in various parts of the game has been adjusted.
· Zvezda thrusters - The thrusters on the back of the initial Zvezda module now fire during operation of the TORU.
· Update notification - The game launcher now has the ability to automatically check for updates rather than requiring you to click the "Scan for Updates" button. Automatic checks can be shut off in the configuration.
· TransHab modules* - An initial version of the TransHab module has been added to the game.
· Solar panel colors* - The station solar panels have been changed to a gold color.
