Consolidated Patch Notes v0.1.1052.5350

Connection Bugfixing

Today we focused on putting together many fixes that we had been working on to help players joining large worlds and servers with higher latency. Two key fixes are in this build: no requirement to have all world chunks on game load, and room checking on load/save to reduce junk in save files.

These two things should address some of the more serious problems players were having connecting to games. Additionally, an old voice command still existed in the game that would disconnect players (even players in single player!) this was the primary cause of the "kick back to menu" that players were experiencing.

So this update should give many players a pretty big bump in stability - but as always we need to test and confirm this.

Logic unit tweaks

We also did some work with logic units. There is now a button, and a new switch, that can be used. We added some commands to the Math unit, and made a single input math unit capable of doing math operations such as ceil, floor, and more.

Already players have been able to create some pretty cool systems - such as solar auto trackers, load balancers, and much more!

Batch Writers

So one of the big problems was getting lots of devices to change, such as solars. Now there is a Batch Writer that will write a value (say vertical percent for a solar, or setting for a transformer, or On state for a light) to all of a selected type.

Here you can see an example of using this to make a light switch!

Version 0.1.1052.5350

• Fixed null reference exception that could occur on save due to room thread changing and altering. This was caused by the fix that would stop large saves with invalid rooms being initialized.
• Made visual crystals less strict so more crystals are visible
• Fixed null reference exception on Atmospheric Manager when air tank is null but waste tank is full.
• Colliders on thrown objects will no longer be turned off if there's an object close to it when it was thrown. This should help prevent items being thrown through objects
• Updated new ore types. New Uranium, copper, gold, silver, and coal models.
• Added applying chunk progress in loading screen.
• Added Unary Math unit to logic system. Able to perform Abs, Ceil, Floor, Round, Exp, and Log functions on input numbers.
• Added chat fade delay which will auto-hide chat and console text after a delay. Default 10 seconds, set to max to disable.
• Clamped auto-save interval values between 60 - 3600 (1-30 minutes, default 2 minutes).
• Added revised community French and Spanish translations. Added new language for Portuguese translations.
• Added a new Logic Switch and a Logic Button variant on the Kit (Logic Switch).
• Added Batch Writer to logic system. This allows you to write values to all types of an object on the output network. Note that this only writes to objects of the exact same type, so variants of the same type will be considered different objects. The use example is that one batch writer will allow you to write to every single solar on a given network.
• Fixed bug with Logic Writer network message not being received when switching logic writer type due to wrong network header being sent.
• Fixed splitting stackable items. When splitting, the new stack would sometimes clip thought the floor and be lost. Split item/s now fall in front of the player
• If the player has a free hand, splitting a stackable will now place the new stack in the free hand.
• Fixed exception when opening loading screen with too few saves.
• Fixed host not regenerating and applying mesh when terrain was mined outside of the chunk render distance. The host needs up to date collision mesh for all chunks.
• Fixed minables being rendered when out side of chunk render distance on the server
• Added sign recipe to autolathe.
• Allowed atmosphere analyser cartridge to read small gas canisters.
• Fixed analyzer text of water to H2O instead of HO2
• Fixed huge world saves when saving rooms.
• Disabled Frustrum culling for computers. Possible cause of FPS drops when looking away from a logic motherboard computer setup. This was because sometimes the computer was being hidden/rendered multiple times in a frame, forcing many position updates for the UI below.
• Added Mod command to Math Processor. Allows the % math function to be applied. Format is Input1 % Input2.
• Fixed bug where construction blueprint cursor is not correctly cleared upon quitting a game.
• Fixed drop position. Item will now drop where the player is looking.
• Reimplemented chunk streaming changes using the existing chunk IsRendered system and reduced the number of mesh and minable regenerations. Result is improved joining times and faster chunk generation.
• Fixed network problem when joining server which has large chunk data and high latency.

Consolidated Patch Notes v0.1.1042.5301

DECEMBER 19

New ore deposit models

We have a few of the new ore models in, not all, but we prioritized ones that looked very similar to other ones. We'll be continuing to tweak these, as well as the ore and ingot models, as we go.

LED displays

Use these as part of the logic system to display values you've created.

Important: Note that the solar logic values have changed. Logic systems may need to be updated to work with the new values, which make more sense.

More Server Browser options

Right click to bring these up.

Version 0.1.1042.5301

• Improved scrollbars in menus and they now autohide.
• Tweaked Join World menu overall. Now includes a new server info panel along with some other minor tweaks.
• Reduced surface area scale of the radiator.
• Reduced power usage of logic devices.
• Increased power usage of the computer.
• Reduced power usage of Tool Manufactory, Pipe Bender and suit storage.
• Added new model and texture for Copper, Gold, Ice, Iron, and Volatile deposits.
• Fixed Pipe Radiator was always radiating, and never convecting. This meant that a radiator would remove heat from a pipe network without even convecting it into their air around it. This was because it could never find an atmosphere.
• Fixed Autosave was not pulling atmospheres in a thread-safe way and sometimes causing a collection modified error. Now serializes using a safe itteration through atmosphere data.
• Area Power Controller now charges its battery even when it is turned off, and will work even if an output cable is not connected.
• Added signs. You can now place 1x1 or 2x1 signs and write text to them with the labeller.
• Made pipe labels transparent. Label text will now show up on the pipes without the white background of the label.
• Added new option for solar panels. Now contains a variant that has a separate data connection. This provides better support for logic control.
• Adjusted Pipe Radiator surface area x5 to provide more consistent radiation and convection.
• Removed pipe radiator buff. They were x1000 times more effective than a normal pipe and it was causing weird math issues. Now they are x10 more effective than the same sized item.
• Added three LED console displays. Can be written to using the Logic Writer and will display values. Constructable from the Console construction kit.
• Added favorite popup menu to join panel and fixed black camera filter on main menu.
• Fixed issues with certain MonoBehaviours being instantiated incorrectly. Causing occasional SetWorldEnvironments NRE when joining servers
• Fixed wrong playtime in scoreboard.
• Fixed label replacing menu background on failure to load/connect.
• Added limited ability to bind keys to mouse actions and vice versa. Only supports 3-button mice for now.
• Increased oxygen consumption for humans. Now consume oxygen at x10 the rate they used too. This means you are much more likely to run out of air. However, it also means you produce x10 the amount of CO2 that you used too.
• Fixed pipe labels not drawing on load. Labels will no longer show up as blank when loading from a save.
• Fixed Solar Panel read/write via logic uses different units. Now there is the base version (Vertical/Horizontal) that is in the master units (degrees, percent) and the ratio (0..1).
• Fixed broken state on dedicated server. It wasn't updating state. It's related to Logic Motherboard, solar angle in Daylight Sensor, MotionSensor, Engine rotation. Now you can control solar panel with LogicMotherboard on dedicated server.
