 The original OUTPOST 'gamified' the pre-launch screens but did it in a way that isn't very much fun -- lots of fluff with video animations to show launches and satellites and things that at the time were impressive but doesn't offer any real value today. OutpostHD will streamline this part of the game by giving the user fine-grained control over the conditions of their star system and planetary environments via a set of attributes.
-Difficulty settings will affect the availability of attributes and the effectiveness or harshness of an attribute will be; for instance, high light output (a good attribute for solar power generation and food crop development) will be less effective in higher difficulties. Conversely, a negative attribute such as a low density planet will make metallic elements even scarcer on higher difficulties than in lower difficulty levels.

 ===== 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.

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. Instead challenge will be in the form of ensuring that resources are carefully allocated and monitored (particularly in the very beginning), not overextending resource usage by building/expanding too fast and focusing on researching technologies to reduce improve resource efficiency and find new sources of resources.
