Has anyone managed to build any asteriod hulled ships recently? I am using version 5127 - windows.
Also when I get Silmaline Crystals on an asteroid field, the description talks about getting 25 production when using mining focus and increased growth for Litic species. I cannot use foci on asteroid fields (which I beleive is intentional).
Artificial Minds tech works on outposts, since they have Infrastructure. If techs working on Infrastructure affect outposts they can start to produce quite a lot of resources.
Overall the new system for outposts (zero population) is looking good.
You need an actual asteroid colony. Build some exobots, as they can live on asteroids. That's your quick fix
And we need to change something -- either the conditions for asteroid construction, or the habitability of asteroids.

Or the fact that outposts have no species associated with them... this is yet another unintended consequence of the no-population-no-species rule.
Warning: Antarans in dimensional portal are closer than they appear.

It wasn't unintended, at least by me. Perhaps "unexpectedly complicating for existing content".
It would be better if shipyards could only be built on colonies. Building ships is one of the most important parts of the game. Outposts should be a minor addition to an empire, not a place where a major military force could be built.

Oops, that was an oversight. Good catch.
Fixed: revision 5149

I don't have strong feelings about weather or not outposts should have a species. The necessary content changes to make things work don't seem very serious -- pretty much the expected kinds of things that we just didn't catch at first.

Will fix.
Just disabling building of shipyards somewhere probably isn't enough, as it's probably possible to get a shipyard at an outpost that used to be a colony. So, the location conditions for ships should also exclude outposts.
