It's been almost a year since the last release -- apologies for the bit of a hiatus. It was a rough year with a lot of set backs due to medical issues that are finally starting to resolve.
While not the big changes I wanted to add, this release addresses a few bugs and provides some quality of life balancing. The biggest difference you'll notice is a rebalance of the cost of structures and robots along with a slight increase to the yield of mines.
There is now also an official macOS app available from the GitHub releases page. Use the typical approach to installing macOS software -- mount the dmg disk image, drag OutpostHD into your Applications folder and you're good to go. You will need to allow the application to run through Security & Privacy as I don't yet have an Apple Developer ID to be able to sign executable code.
What's New
- Basic cheat dialog window (can be brought up with Ctrl+Shift+F10)
- FreeBSD configuration to be able to build OPHD from source
What's Changed
- Resource values won't glow on first turn
- Adjusted cost of structures
- Adjusted cost of robots
- Mine yields have been increased
- PhysFS dependency removed
- Factory list box will now only show progress bars if a factory is actually producing something
- Alerts will be pushed if there are issues with Warehouse storage and capacity
- Alerts will be pushed when tasks are completed for robots and construction
- Alerts will be pushed when robot tasks are canceled
- Factory Report now shows actual description of products instead of placeholder text
- Moved factory product descriptions out of the code and into an external definition file
- Improved exception error messages for better end-user reporting

Sorry to hear about the medical issues, but I hope they are resolved at this point and things are much improved with everyone's health!
And thank you for continuing to develop this! I've been seeing a lot more interest in this genre of game these days, and some wear their inspiration clearly on their sleeve (ie: ). The HD remake of the original Outpost is a noble pursuit, and you deserve kudos for your efforts!
