New Features and Buildings:

Passages You are now able to connect your domes together by constructing Passages. These transportation tunnels allows colonists to move freely into adjacent domes and utilizing the workplaces and services available there. - If one Dome has no power, oxygen or water for over a Sol, all passages leading to it are disabled until the problem is resolved. This will cause workers being fired from their workplaces as if the passage has been destroyed. - These passages are fragile, and your Colonists may die if hit by a meteor while in the Passage New Buildings & Related Changes - New high-end automated storage building which can take over 4,000 units of separate resource is available for your Colony. - Added 3 new workshop buildings. Workshops allow colonists to work their vocation providing more employment for the late game. - A new Landing pad makes sure the Rocket lands at the designated spot and eliminates the dusting effect of the surrounding structures - A new Large Water Tank, storing up to 1,000 units of Water is available to suit the needs of your developing colony - Added new Milestone related to workshop buildings to reflect achieving post-scarcity vocation-oriented society - Added new Technologies, which allow construction of Workshops, Automated Storage and Large Water Tank
