Alpha 0.05 :: Colonist Management

Mercury Fallen Alpha 0.05

 

Another week and another update for Mercury Fallen. After the big fixes in the last update I wanted to focus back on new content. New in 0.05 is the colonist management screen and the ability to rename colonists.

 

Colonist Management

A highly requested feature has been the ability to better manage the job roles for the colonists. With the new management screen you can now manage all of your colonists from one place. The new interface can be accessed by pressing the ‘Tab’ which is rebind-able in the settings.

Rename Colonists

Change colonist job names in both the new management screen as well as the existing info panel.

Facility Renaming

Also available in the new management interface is the ability to rename your facility. The facility name will be used for save game names.

 

There are, of course, some additional minor changes and bug fixes. Take a look at the release notes below for the full list of changes.
