Saves
Heavily cleaned bases load again. Some big worlds looked corrupted and wouldn't load properly; the save files were fine, and they now load normally.
Saves now protect themselves: a damaged save is repaired automatically as it loads, from its backup or a recent snapshot, and every save is checked before it replaces the previous one. You'll get a message if anything had to be repaired.
Multiplayer
Upgrades are shared: the whole crew uses the host's upgrade matrix, and anyone's purchase upgrades everyone. Older saves keep the highest level anyone had bought.
Host controls: in the ESC menu, Your Crew lists everyone. The host can kick or ban a player; banned players can't join that save again, and the host can unban them there.
Splitters and mergers built by crewmates now work.
Performance
- Changed
The game runs faster, especially on big bases: up to about 20% higher frame rates in our tests.
- Changed
Smoother driving across the Moon, faster teleports between stations and fewer stutters while the ground loads in.
- Changed
Ground hidden behind the Moon's horizon is no longer drawn.
Building
Splitters and mergers snap straight onto each other, port to port.
While carrying a capsule, you can put it onto a belt right where you aim.
Machines can stand across several foundations, so pressure chambers, stone presses and garages fit on square foundations.
The deposit intake now pays exactly what its screen shows. Dust and stone arriving by belt are paid as they come in.
Vehicles
Your vehicles work at every garage: any garage can call them back, store them and upgrade them, and you won't be offered a vehicle you already own.
Demolishing a garage no longer deletes the vehicles kept there. They move to another garage, or wait for the next garage you build.
No more "Exited ..." message when you leave a vehicle, or message when a crewmate takes yours.
Look
- New
New menu icons for the upgrade tree, garage, radio, robot dock and whiteboard.
- New
New compass icons, each in its own colour: dust stations, crewmates, waypoints and the sector readout.
Important: All crewmates must be on version 1.0.3 to play together.
