SpaceCorps 2027 0.2.2 is the first version that arrives through the game's own updater. It makes everything you can click show the pointing hand.

The game plays on the public server https://spacecorps-game.sliplane.app. Your pilot, ships and items carry over.

What's new

The pointer

  • Every button, tab, switch, link, list row and menu shows the pointing hand when you hover it. Many showed the arrow before.
  • Buttons drawn over a 3D view get the hand too. These are the wiki viewer's rotate toggle and the hangar's Set active and Revive, which used to show the grab hand.
  • In flight, the hand appears over what a click acts on: cargo boxes, the station, ships and aliens. Empty space keeps the arrow. A click just beside a ship still selects it.
  • Empty hotbar slots and other drop targets keep the arrow, since clicking them does nothing.
  • Disabled buttons keep the arrow.

Updating

  • From 0.2.1: the game downloads 0.2.2 by itself. Click Restart to Update, or quit the game, and it installs. You can also look for it under Settings › About › Check for Updates.
  • From 0.2.0: download it once from the download page and replace the old app or folder. From then on the game updates itself.

On macOS, keep the game in Applications. A game started from the disk image or from Downloads can't replace itself.

Platforms

Package For
SpaceCorps2027-macos-universal.dmg macOS 12 Monterey or later, Apple silicon and Intel
SpaceCorps2027-windows-x86_64.zip Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit
SpaceCorps2027-linux-x86_64.AppImage Linux x86_64, glibc 2.35 or newer (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 36 and later), Vulkan
SpaceCorps2027-linux-x86_64.tar.gz the same Linux build, as a folder to unpack

Graphics need Metal (macOS), DirectX 12 or Vulkan (Windows), or Vulkan (Linux, Mesa 22 or a vendor driver). The game needs 4 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended) and 400 MB of free disk space.

First launch

The builds are not signed by Apple or Microsoft yet, so on a first install your system asks once before it opens the game. Updates the game installs itself don't ask again.

  • macOS: open the dmg and drag SpaceCorps 2027 onto Applications.
    • macOS 15 and newer: open the app once and click Done. Then go to System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway next to "SpaceCorps 2027 was blocked".
    • macOS 12 to 14: right-click (Control-click) the app, choose Open, then Open again.
  • Windows: right-click the zip, choose Extract All, and start spacecorps2027.exe from the SpaceCorps 2027 folder. The assets folder must stay next to it. If SmartScreen says it "protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway.
  • Linux: run chmod +x SpaceCorps2027-linux-x86_64.AppImage, then start it. Or unpack the tar.gz and start SpaceCorps2027/spacecorps2027.

Known issues

  • The builds are unsigned, so macOS Gatekeeper and Windows SmartScreen warn on a first install (see above).
  • Updating from inside the game was tested end to end on macOS. On Windows and Linux it is covered by automated checks only, so please report anything that goes wrong.
  • There is one public game server with limited capacity. It may restart for updates, and your ship is saved when it does.

Report problems at https://github.com/SpaceCorps/play/issues or on Discord.
