• Fixed: Numerous crashes.
Alpha 6:
Major Features / Enhancements
• Power is now required for base equipment to function. The Base Seed serves as a basic starting power reactor, and additional Fusion and Dark Matter Reactors can be built (with enough Matter and Research) to satisfy each object's "power draw". Power flows across connected rooms rather than any kind of wiring system.
• Citizens can become angry. Anger builds up over time with unsatisfactory events such as poor job performance, unpleasant social interactions, violence nearby, bad food, etc. Angry citizens who dislike each other may brawl, fighting until incapacitated. When a citizen's anger gets high enough they may have a violent or (depending on their personality) non-violent outburst, attacking people or sabotaging base equipment.
• Citizens can be detained in Brig zones. Detained citizen anger dissipates over time, but at a cost of removing them from normal citizen life and the work force. Doors will not open for detained citizens. If doors lose power, detained citizens may escape.
• Citizens now own and carry possessions. They become attached to their possessions, display them on available shelving, and trade for possessions they like more with other citizens. Citizen affinity for a given possession is based on its qualities such as color, material, shape, etc.
• Citizens have affinities for different duties, shown as smiley faces in the Roster and Duty Tab. Citizens will perform any duty they're assigned, but may become unhappy over time if they're stuck with a duty they don't like. Likewise, citizens doing a duty they love is good for morale and causes their skills to improve faster.
• Objects and Rooms now have a Command Tab, which can be used to issue commands relating to what's selected. Objects can be torn down or reclaimed for research, power-consuming objects can be deactivated.
• Citizens can now be assigned to beds in Residence zones. Citizens will always prefer to use an assigned bed, and are happier for doing so. Citizens will use shelving to display their possessions.
Minor Improvements / Bug Fixes
• Changes in individual citizen needs and morale are now tracked via graphs in the Psych Profile Tab.
• Objects now have an About Tab that contains miscellaneous non-essential information about the object's use, history, or context in the Spacebase universe.
• Placing a zone-specific object such as an Oxygen Recycler in an unzoned room will now "auto-zone" that room to its intended function.  Tooltip conveys that this will result on click.
• The Beacon menu can now set the desired level of Security response for Beacons and other combat situations: on Non-Lethal, security will always attempt to subdue targets using Stun weapons; on Necessary Force security will meet deadly force with deadly force; on Lethal security will always use deadly force in any situation.
• Tooltips on Beacons show the current response level and target.
• Turrets still default to only target hostiles but can be set to target all characters in their Command Tab.

• Fixed: Event controller triggers stale events, causing many “ship passed without stopping” messages.
Alpha 5b:
• Overhauled how needs affect morale. Depression spirals should be less common now.
• Benefits of citizen environment satisfaction to morale now taper off after a point. A citizen will only become ecstatic if everything is going really really great for them.
• Fusion Reactors have been re-enabled in the Construct menu, in anticipation of Alpha 6 which will finally add the Power system. They won’t do anything until then, but this will let you build and plan bases accordingly.
• Doors have moved into the “All Zones” section of the Object menu to make room for the above change.
• Doctors now prioritize corpse cleanup higher than routine check-ups.
• Fixed: Various crashes.
• Fixed: Doctors don’t store citizen health when they treat a broken leg.

Alpha 5:
Major Features / Enhancements:
• Turrets can now be constructed on both the interior and exterior of your base. Turrets fire on any hostiles the way a citizen assigned to Security duty would. Turrets have a limited field of fire, so place them carefully.
• Raiders can now enter your base via Breach Ships, which attach and drill through floors. If you can damage a Breach Ship before its crew reaches your base, you’ll face weaker resistance.
• A new Malady system allows citizens to be injured and affected by illness. Illnesses can spread from person to person through direct contact or shared contact with world objects such as food replicators. Illnesses can affect different attributes, such as a citizen’s energy levels and sociability. Some illnesses require research in a Research Lab before a cure can be administered. Illnesses have randomly generated names such as Centauri Bat Mumps, Green Cough, and Neo-Australian Scaly Pox.
• Citizens can now be assigned to Doctor duty. Doctors treat field injuries, scan your citizens for illnesses and treat them if a cure is known.
• You can now designate rooms as Infirmary zones, where Revivabeds can be built. Doctors use these to treat advanced illnesses and remove parasite infestations.
• A new Research screen allows you to track global research progress and assign different projects to specific Labs.
• Citizens can be incapacitated, which prevents them from moving until a Doctor can treat their wounds.
• Doctors will dispose of dead bodies by recycling them in Matter Refineries.
• Antiviral Air Scrubbers can now be built in Life Support Zones. These devices reduce the chances of disease transmission in the surrounding area. Multiple devices bring this chance down further, to a non-zero minimum.
• Characters can now be tagged with Beacons. Security personnel will keep watch over this person if they’re a citizen, or target them for attack if they’re hostile.
• Characters can now fight in space, firing weapons and performing melee attacks.
• The game’s event controller system has been overhauled, which orchestrates the timing of events such as invasions, meteor strikes, new citizens immigrating, etc. Game pacing should be improved, and difficulty should ramp over time: more dangerous events, such as large numbers of enemies with tougher weapons, will only happen later in a base’s lifetime.
• When a new ship hails your base, a window no longer pops up to force a response. Instead, you receive an alert and can choose whether to respond to it or not. Likewise, the camera does not force-move to any new ships that appear.
• The Windows version of Spacebase now uses the SDL2 video/audio/input library used by Broken Age, which fixes a variety of hardware compatibility issues. All versions use SDL2 for input handling now, removing dependency on the older FreeGLUT library.
• The game now launches into a new pause screen, welcoming the player with a Message of the Day.
Minor Improvements:
• Improved alert interactions and visuals. High-priority alerts now pulse.

• Alarm panels can be built in any room. Activating an alarm causes citizens to evacuate the room.
• Weight Benches can be built in Fitness Zones. Citizens will prefer to work out here.
• Rooms discovered in derelicts can be claimed and unclaimed. Citizens won't bother to work in unclaimed rooms. Unclaimed rooms left alone long enough will become "dim" and you won't see non-citizens moving around in them.
• Raiders can now deploy from shuttles, sometimes posing as immigrants. They'll attempt to enter your base through its airlocks.
• Citizens prefer different leisure activities: some will play vidgames more often than working out, some prefer to drink, etc. Citizens express opinions on these activities when chatting.
