In this new update, I added to the game, something that was in my mind time ago. A Satellite view. The player can have a sky view of the base and also can build and modify things. You can move the camera and zoom in/out.

During the development, I was trying this new view and playing the game, and it is like a different game, the player can handle very fast extractors that are very far each other, can see if a line has a bottleneck or something is destroyed by an asteroid.

If the community like the new Satellite view, I will work more on this. For example, add the possibility of a more isometric view, add a mouse for a more friendly building gameplay, rotate the camera, follow the player character, etc..

I would like to see your bases from the sky, if you have one, upload an image to Steam. I think others players can learn how to improve their bases or colonies or spaceships. Thank you.

I also fixed a lot of things related to the UI, for example when the player uses the Esc key in the inventory menu and the main menu appears, and other minor bugs.
[h1]IMPORTANT: [/h1]
if you can't activate the Satellite camera is because you have custom keybindings and you have to reset it. To do it you have two options, if you reassigned only a few keys you can introduce the keys like it was at the beginning of the game in the control menu inside the options menu, play a while and then reassign again. ( I have to add a reset button)
or
you can delete the Input.ini file that is inside the User Name / AppData / Local / FarlightExplorers / Saved / Config / WindowsNoEditor and restart the game.
Sorry for the issue.
