This patch is largely focused on improvements and bug fixing. Specifically, we wanted to address community feedback with the tutorials, but we also used the opportunity to investigate some longer standing issues. Additionally, new art was ready, so we added a new visual variant of the computer.

Tutorial Updates

We've made a load of tweaks to the tutorials based on observing first time players. These changes mainly involved wording changes, making use of more paint colours to specifically reference objects, and adjusting the layouts of the tutorials to help lead the player to the right location. We'll continue to tweak the existing tutorials as well as adding new tutorials where needed.

Quick Stow

We've moved the functionality of double click, now called smart stow, to its own binding. The double click functionality was interfering with other input making it feel slow and laggy. Instead of double clicking with the mouse you can now right click to achieve the exact same behaviour, and instead of double tapping 'F' you can now press 'G'. The grab action has now been remapped to 'H'. Of course, these are the defaults and can be rebound.

Less Restrictive Construction

Yes.

Cables

A long standing, and frustrating bug, has been the inconsistent placement of cables in half constructed walls. This issue meant that while you could place cables down, you'd have to remove the wall to pull the cable back up again. We performed a pass on all the wall build states so cables are entirely accessible through half constructed walls.

Wall Mounted Devices

Wall mounted devices require support, however at some point a restriction was put on the placement of these devices that meant that every grid, up to four if you were placing on a corner, needed to be present. While this was an intentional change at the time it has long been a pain point, and we've decided that any support will do. This means that you can now freely place these devices on the edge of walls or frames.

Mystery Gasses

A pretty big bug with atmospherics has now been resolved. Deconstructing frames would sometimes lead to a global atmosphere gas mixture being created in its place. The related issue also caused rooms sealed with terrain to have similar issues. This dangerous gas from outside entering into your base was often catastrophic and frustrating for players. Base construction on Europa, Vulcan, and Venus should now be much more straight forward and intuitive.

Retro Computer Variant

This is exactly the same as the existing computer, except with a more 70s cabinet style.

Upcoming LARrE Changes

You may have noticed a large number of changes in the patch notes that refer to LARrE. These changes will not take affect in this update but are a work in progress for the next patch.
