Hey there! 

In this devlog, I'm presenting how the game is randomly generating events to better engage with the players and create a challenge while balancing the difficulty, thanks to an AI that I've developed to improve the game.

In the game, the event system operates by calculating a score based on what the player builds, the items crafted, oxygen, and other gases produced, along with the overall health of colonists. The AI anticipates a specific progression of the score, triggering events when it becomes excessively high or low. When the score is high, events are activated to slow down the player's advancement. Conversely, if the score is low, only positive events are triggered to assist the player, aiming to provide support during challenging moments.

Various events can unfold in the game, ranging from positive to challenging situations. Positive events include the arrival of a cargo pod filled with construction materials or essential survival items such as oxygen canisters, food, and water. Another favorable event involves the landing of a new colonist to expedite the colony's development. Additionally, an asteroid landing near the base can bring a substantial quantity of ores. On the flip side, negative events may occur, such as a faulty device exploding inside the base, an eclipse casting darkness and halting solar panel energy production, an asteroid colliding with the base, or a weather event featuring strong winds that hinder colonists' movement and displace items.

Several enhancements have been implemented, including the addition of new thin wall models for customizing the base and the introduction of shelves for efficient item storage. Issues identified in playtesting sessions have been addressed, reflecting ongoing efforts to refine the game. Many improvements are still in the pipeline, promising further advancements in the gaming experience.
