If 1.0.5.6 proves to be stable, it could potentially become official as early as next week, otherwise we'll iterate with another beta update to get closer to a build that is worthy of becoming a new official update. There are a lot of major improvements in the 1.0.5.x series with the engine upgrade and a lot of low level fixes, so we're eager to get it out there as official as soon as we are sure that it's ready.

A mining station will mine all asteroids in range and will combine their resource abundance into a total value for the asteroids within range. Once you place a mining station, other asteroids within its range (which it will already be mining) will be removed from the list.

Hi Erik, do you mean that asteroids are removed from the list the moment you sent a builder to that asteroid, or after the mine is built?

Also, I very much appreciate how hard you've been working on this great game, and I greatly appreciate the 1.0.5.6 UI improvements. Thank you!

1. Mining Stations on asteroids mine several nearby asteroids (I am not 100% sure what happens with Mining Stations that are on a planet but cover some asteroids by happenstance).
2. It always worked like that. I can probably find some old pre-beta footage where it was a thing already.
3. When you order a mining station, the "can build Station" check instantly returns false for all surrounding ones. The button to queue a station is disabeled. You can not manually order a construction
4. After a few gameticks, it would even vanish from the list. But that is for some unknown reason gameticks, not UI ticks - so you might have missed that with

They added exactly what they wrote: A extra Filter option for resources.
That is it.
Nothing else was changed here.
