Mysterious Space 0.7.7 update - crates, buttons, and emergent gameplay

0.7.7 is going to be a pretty small update, featuring a new accessory, some small visibility improvements, but most of all, crates and buttons!

some planets will now have fuel in rooms that are blocked with forcefields. of course, an EMP weapon will disable a forcefield, but in case you don't have one of those, the forcefield can be suppressed by pushing a nearby button... but once you release the button, the forcefield is re-enabled!? that's okay: find a crate, and use the new tractor beam (included with every ship!) to drag it over to the button, OR: play cooperatively, and have one player hold the button while the other gets the fuel!

oh, and here's a link to the sequelitis video I mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FpigqfcvlM definitely worth a watch, ESPECIALLY if you're a game developer; but even if not.
