Our dear players and contributors!
We are nearing our annual Pioneer Day release, just 3 days from now.
So we'd like to put out a call for anybody who would like to contribute translations. Now would be a great time to do so!
We have only one language at 100%, and a couple close to it!

Needed distraction from some heavy stuff, and mocking up a new space station screen for https://mstdn.games/@pioneerspacesim felt like the thing to work on. Still rough and clunkily put together, but starts to shape up.
