This post shows the full list of changes, additions, improvements and bug fixes in every update of the BOSS, starting from 1.5.0b - Public Beta Release.

About the BOSS

Blue Octopus Space Station is a reactor core game by RabbitBlock (my group) in which you can manage a reactor core.
You can melt or freeze the core and escape the spaceship.

Versions

1.5.0b

Additions

Upon starting the reactor core, there is a 4% chance that the projectors powering the core will fail to turn off, thus causing the reactor to become severely unstable. You will only have 1 minute to escape the spaceship.

  • Spaceship Power

As well as controlling a reactor, in this update it’s your job to now control the spaceship’s power.
Should the power capacity drop to 20%, an announcement will play over the whole server, reminding players to charge the spaceship’s power supply.

In the case players don’t, and let the power drop to 0%, the spaceship will lose all power, so it puts the reactor into maintenance mode to keep it stable.

It takes about 16 and a half minutes for the spaceship power to completely empty.

  • Added some more strobe lights to some places

Changes

  • Changed how the emergency strobe lights spin (uses TweenService instead of CFrame)
  • Changed strobe light sound effects for when there is a meltdown
