Galacticube 2.0.2 — Mercury Update

Explore Mercury: harsh terrain, extreme heat and cold, solar storms, new structures and resources.

Mercury surface

• Gray-brown landscape down to bedrock
• Impact craters, basins, rocky rims, underground cave bubbles
• Polar-band permanently shadowed ice (mercury_ice)

Extreme temperature

• Day / lit side: extreme heat — Thermal Suit required
• Night / shadow / polar ice: extreme cold — Cryogenic Suit required
• Conditions follow local sky light

Solar storms

• Periodic storms with instrument warning, then full corona wash
• Sky and fog turn orange-red during storms
• Extra battery drain; solar-panel recharge pauses
• HUD / action-bar alerts

Structures

• Mercury Research Station (lab, airlock, solar wing, mast)
• Mercury Crypt — connected radial solar vault (crater shaft + 3-wide spokes)
• Abandoned Mercury Outpost
• Solar Observatory
• Impact Site (rare loot)

Resources

• Turquoise Ore / Turquoise
• Solar Crystal (rare)
• Ancient Alloy (ruins / impact loot)
• Space Glass (full blocks in structures — wide windows, not thin panes)

Weather polish (Mars / Venus)

• Mars dust storms — red snow-like flakes + strong wind knockback
• Venus — yellow sky, thick sulfuric clouds, frequent green acid rain that damages without an Acid Suit

Fixes in this release

• Menu / options screens use the cosmic space background (no dirt panels)
• Rocket ascent from non-Earth worlds no longer flashes Earth-blue sky
• Connected Mercury Crypt rooms; glass in structures is wide full blocks
