With the launching of this 1.0 release, we're unleashing an astronomical trove of fresh content for you to enjoy and a huge set of updates for many current systems to further improve the experience. Buckle up crew, we are coming in for landing!
These new planets should let you really test your crew's construction prowess, and we have every faith in you that all will unfold as intended! Let's take a squiz!
The Frozen tundra Zaroth IV. Brave relentless gusting winds and perilously slippery ice as you navigate some seriously formidable challenges. Here might be a good use for the plunger component to hold on tight.
The marshy quagmire of Nixnillon. This swampy planet looks to be filled with noxious gas and perhaps some type of spongy mucus. Yuck! Seems like the corporation went a little nuts around here too, producing all manner of strange contraptions. I’m sure you can make use of them though!
The huge aforementioned planets would not be complete without their alternate dimensional counterparts, containing every possible hurdle the solar system can throw at you. To truly test your technical tinkerer talents of course!
Now we couldn’t help but embrace the festive spirit with a Christmas themed ‘Yule Moon’ hiding a selection of jolly gubbins with which to adorn yourself and friends. Any astronaut wouldn’t be prepared without their Santa hat, reindeer compatriots and rocket powered sled!
In response to rousing acclaim for the Trumpet. We've introduced a symphony of new musical taunts, allowing you to dish out even more ear-offending discord for you and your friends' displeasure.
Steam Achievements have been implemented for the collectors amongst the crew. Your friend can now excitedly exclaim they were awarded an achievement after ruthlessly punching you into the grinder.
We really hope you enjoy this update and we eagerly await your showcase of stupendous construction skills and ensuing shenanigans. Share them with us in the Steam Forums, Discord

Don’t forget to visit the Steam Workshop where you, the community, can add to the universe by uploading your own worlds - be a part of our ever-expanding galaxy! And while you’re floating around in space contemplating the meaning of life, have you noticed those ethereal planets? There are more planets out there to discover. What kind of world would you like to explore next?
But that’s not how the garage started in life, it’s similar for sure! But the evolution of the garage can be pretty much chart exactly alongside the evolution of the game! Building and how you do so is at the core of the Astrionimo and each change we made to the garage influenced every part of the game and in turn every part we adjusted in outside the game equally had some effect on the components of the garage and how you built your contraption. They are inseparable and it became easily the biggest challenge I faced as a designer to date to make them work together and make it fun! 
What this all meant was that the problems/challenges you faced on your journey around the world had to be balanced against your potential resource gathering, how much you’d already spent trying to solve a problem, what you spent your research on unlocks and what parts we expect/required you to have to solve some the tricky challenges further along in the world. 
If you read my previous blog post, you probably saw towards the end i mentioned how we followed the fun, and how it led to us abandoning our original “Outrun the sun” timed concept of hopping from planet to planet and just focused on making the moment to moment gameplay as fun as possible. As we developed the game and improving the usability of the garage, we kept bumping into some fundamental problems we found that were often at odds with each other. 
You know what doesn’t gel very well? Trying to herd Cats to the same goal. On the same screen. Try to imagine yourself in a group of Mario Party players, each running around, each wanting to do there own thing in the world. Suddenly a huge part of the game can’t be accessed or enjoyed, you can’t do X or Y or even progress to the next area because the group have ran out of money! They don’t have some resource all of a sudden and now you and players now have to leave the place where the fun was happening. Now the group had to organise themselves on a new sub goal on top of all the other stimuli, where now you all have to trod back to some mining area, collect new resources and then go back and rebuild the contraption because you couldn’t afford that one of 2 components you might have actually not needed! 
So began adjusting the numbers! We reduced prices of the components, remove reliance on mining, remove silver and gold combination requirements, removed options of individually unlocking select parts yourself and made it work like you were permanently leveling up your character, brought back silver again, improved what unlocked and where and then ultimately removed science ores and silver. Each changed was playtested against in attempt to make the garage and resource building a fun experience for our shared party game. 
So that got me thinking, what if we just never charge for parts? What if we never make you run around for science to unlock them? What if we could simplify all these complexities thats preventing players from just jumping in and getting to the fun part? And prompting all these…well not fun or engaging activities? Just because we want resources to play this big part in the game? Is collecting and spending and managing money really that fun when mixed in with out 4 players running about the place like headless chickens? 
Enter…Inventory! Now,when players come to a challenge, we, designers can set what parts they have access to front the list of all components in the game and they’d have unlimited parts! Now they can build freely and as with much as they have access too. It provided to be way easier to explain and, as a bonus, we’d combat a troubling behaviour we kept noticing, where players would build the same contraption over and over to solve problems and be super cost effective, now we could make it so you DON’T have access to this component or that one and you’d have to get creative from the get go with what puzzle pieces you were given!
