The v0.5.0 update for Trappist lets you choose different starting conditions:

• Extra resources: The mission planners made sure to fill the Ark to the brim with all the resources you could need for a comfortable stay in Trappist-1.

• Normal: The Ark contains enough resources for a comfortable start. But sooner or later you will need to replenish them with what you find around Trappist-1.

• Fewer resources: The Ark is equipped with the bare minimum to find your own footing in Trappist-1. Also, one of your cargo ships was lost during the voyage. You do receive a number of robots to help you out.

Each start has the same game rules but the amount of resources will make a difference in how you’ll tackle your game start.

The fewer resources option is more challenging. But the robots will give you more options on how to deal with the less hospitable planets.

The other addition is New Game+. Just before you complete the game, a special save game is created. When you start a new game you can select that save game and continue with your own Ark and all its resources. All building types will be unlocked from the start and the tutorial and intro segments are disabled.

This will let you quickly start a new game and lets you experiment and set up your own challenges as you see fit!
