Click on the left or right arrows in the Astronaut box and the astronaut in the box will change but the original astronaut's name will still be in the panel on the lower right. Move your cursor to the bottom right panel and click on the astronaut name to bring up three task chips to perform on that astronaut: Insult, Compliment and Talk. Click on one of these to assign that task to the astronaut currently in the astronaut box. A compliment or insult from one astronaut can cause a second astronaut to "Puppy Love" or "Fight". The second astronaut will begin complimenting or insulting the first astronaut and forget their own needs. The first astronaut can also get caught in the loop. Break them up, or their health will degrade. (puppy love and fight tasks are available with the update)

DELETING TASKS IN THE TASK PANEL

Astronauts can be given up to five tasks in a row to complete. Just roll over components, click once and then click on the desired task to send these tasks to the selected astronaut's task list in the upper left corner. Left clicking on one of the tasks in the upper left corner, opens the Task Control panel. With the panel open, rolling over a task selects it and right clicking on a task deletes it from the queue. Left clicking on a task in the task list zooms the camera to wherever that task is located in the station, and selects that component.

MANAGING YOUR CREW AND STATION

To keep your station in orbit and your astronauts in tip top condition, you must give your astronauts tasks that fulfill their needs as well as those of the station. The horizontal row of nine green, yellow or red lights near the bottom center panel displays your astronaut's stress, fitness, hunger, job, relationship, spirit, sleep, hygiene and bladder stats. To the left of these horizontal lights is a square icon of either a meter panel or the currently selected astronaut's most important need. Click on the square icon or any one of the lights to reveal the Stats Panel from the right. You will first see the astronaut stats panel.
