hollunder: When I click anything but the undocking permission computer on Bodhi station the game crashes reliably, so I can't get out of there. I tried with the shipped as well as my system's libraries.

You can see the crashes and my attempts to work around them here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/399548654?t=01h14m29s

And here is an excerpt from the console output of a crash.

Those texture files are indeed missing, even after a fresh install there is only:
Texture_SpaceSuitPants_0.png
Texture_SpaceSuitTop_0.png

shubber: I have exactly this problem. I reported it to the devs. It's been around since 1.0.3 or so? The crash appears to be in coco2d somewhere, I think.

What's you're system like? IIRC you're on Linux as well.

hollunder: Oh yes, Arch Linux, AMD graphics. I've had crashes before, but they have been sporadic in the sense that they happened only half the time. This one is a proper show stopper.
If the crash is due to the missing files then it should affect everyone else as well. I checked the Windows installer and those files are missing there as well. No case sensitivity shenanigans either.

shubber: My existing saves still crash on departure. I'm thinking about starting a new game, but I also still don't see news or in-game help (the "Information is Space") so I'm having trouble motivating towards that.

hollunder: When I click anything but the undocking permission computer on Bodhi station the game crashes reliably, so I can't get out of there. I tried with the shipped as well as my system's libraries.

monophonic: I managed to reproduce this in Ubuntu LTS 18.04.02 inside VirtualBox on Win10 host. I did check my Windows install, which lacks those files too. I also tried copying a simple png to those names, which got rid of the missing file nags but not the crash. Sadly these missing textures appear to have been a false lead with no relevance to the crash.

I did manage to produce a core dump and a stack trace from that while I was at it. I'll send those to the devs and see what the response will be.

I wonder if anyone has been able to run the game on any flavour of Linux without this crash? Comparing system specs between working and failing systems could give some pointers as to the cause.
