Deep Space
Deep space encounters have been added
LOTJ has a system for spawning deep space encounters designed by our builders like asteroid mining, monster encounters, and more (changes 1839 for more info on the system). We are slowly re-activating the system and our great team of volunteers on the Build Port have been designing new encounters for you all to stumble upon. I'm not going to make a changes post every time we add a new one to space, but you can keep your eyes and ears open for GNI broadcasts hinting at things happening in deep space!
Our design philosophy here is more iterative than we usually are with building. So instead of releasing a fully-formed completed space spawn, we might release a version, get player feedback, add a few more features, put THAT into the game, do another round of updating... you get the idea. What this means is that the version of a space encounter today might be different, expanded, or totally overhauled in just a week or two.
Special shout out to Quiggle and Ryken for motivating me to get this system dusted off, and making a fresh batch of encounters 😉
We also have a dedicated Discord thread for pitching new encounter ideas

Update: I am working deep space asteroid mining back into the game. There will be GNI broadcasts when I'm specifically testing something out, but otherwise they are now out there for you to discover without broadcasts.
