I must ask, what game is that?

If I'm not mistaking it's Rimworld

Small update:

1. I've refactored a bit the event loader - so now it is easier(faster) to add versatile events.
Also it allows to add more complex events.

P.S.
This most probably doesn't make any sense to anyone yet.
But I was so frustrated with the time that was required to add new versatile events,
so now that I have fixed that issue I am so happy that I just want to share this great new with everyone

We don't even know what the hell is that and how it works...

Yeah exactly

But to make it a bit more clear for everyone else:
This change that I did, makes the thought - "Is it possible that a0.4 will be out by the end of the week?" - not sound impossible anymore

Small update:

1. Just finished making events for random pirate encounters
Overall is something around 1200 variants of pirate encounters

2. Did a test run with a basic starting ship against the pirates - twas quite fun
Though a bit too hard, particularly because the events for meeting trader ships(which could allow you to repair your ship) are not yet made
So I've decided to first make the trader events and then the RAI events.

4. Also I've decided that I will add the capacity numbers that some of you were asking for.
Meaning - make energy capacity of systems(Particularly - the engines and the hyper drive) visible with numbers and not only fill-bars

3. Updated the TODO list.

Small update:

If anyone is interested - herse the contents of an event xml file with some descriptions.
