 +OutpostHD plays a lot like the original Outpost with some streamlining in the set process for the initial game. The basics are simple -- land your SEED Lander, land your cargo and colonists, begin mining operations and maintain good control over your resources.

 OUTPOST had UG Factories that produced a number of products most of which were used by Commercial and Red Light District structures to provide a morale boost. These products all had silly names and all served to fill the same need as a luxury item. OutpostHD's factories will produce a wider range of products intended to suit several needs of the colony and its economy. OUTPOST had UG Factories that produced a number of products most of which were used by Commercial and Red Light District structures to provide a morale boost.

 This will reduces player's mental workload allowing them to focus their energies on other parts of the game including population, storage management and research. Tweaked and overhauled production, maintenance and structure costs will continue to provide a challenging game-play mechanic. This will reduces player's mental workload allowing them to focus their energies on other parts of the game including population, storage management and research.

-===== Multi-Purpose Goo ===== 
  
 +===== Multi-Purpose Goo =====
 Multi-Purpose Goo (MPG) was a poor solution to resource management balancing that failed in two main ways: it wasn't realistic (a problem for a 'hard science' game) and it was broken. That said, MPG will not make a reappearance in OutpostHD. While the resource management will provide a challenge to the player, the challenge will not be in the form of insufficient resources being produced by mines. Multi-Purpose Goo (MPG) was a poor solution to resource management balancing that failed in two main ways: it wasn't realistic (a problem for a 'hard science' game) and it was broken.
