Update 01.062 - Super-large worlds, Procedural asteroids and Exploration

Summary
This is the last update for this year so we decided to make it more special. It includes three very important new features: super-large worlds, procedural asteroids and exploration! With super-large worlds we have increased the size of the world to 1,000,000,000 km in diameter; this means that practically there are no boundaries and you can travel as far as you want without experiencing shaky movements and rotations. The “procedural asteroids” feature adds an infinite number of asteroids to the game world - all these asteroids are fully destructible and don’t consume RAM/memory. The exploration feature adds a practically infinite number of ships and stations to the game world, so there will always be something to discover, explore, acquire and conquer.
For more details about the new features, please read Marek's blog post: https://blog.marekrosa.org/2014/12/space-engineers-super-large-worlds_17.html

Finally, we would like to send our best wishes to everyone and we hope that your Holidays will be more fun after these additions

Yeah, been waiting for this.

 

YAAAAAAAAY!

 

YES! YES! A THOUSAND YES!

 

Holy dear mother of god....

 

WOOHOO!

 

Woooooooo

 

Freaking YA GOD BEST EVER. I was just playing space engineers and I saw the space engineers group notification and my jaw just droped YES.

 

Honestly guys, I think the guys at KSH have been lying to us about their location.
They're not from the Czech Republic, but rather the North Pole.

 

WOOOHOOO!!!! You guys ROCK!!!!

 

It's here! Just checked and I was only 7 minutes late! No F5 required!

 

BEST. XMAS. EVER.

 

This is my best of the Christmas gifts I can get.

 

OH MY GAWD *screams* *downloads and ignores the house*

 

I love your christmas gift. It would be even better if you added planets. You are great devs

 

That was quick. O_O Awesome work, devs. HAPPY KEENMAS!

 

Oh my . . . . Holy s***! I have no words!

 

The true PATCHMAS have come

 

Wow I'm impressed even better performance then before the update AMAZING.

 

Best gift of Xmas!!!

 

YEAA!

 

As much as I want to be excited about this, how about some performance improvements maybe? Not sure how many people I've seen that suffer from low performance on decent/awesome rigs, but last week there were a lot of reports. Gonna test it myself again, see if anything has improved. But for the last 4 months performance has been the worst.

 

Good... lord.

Thanks a lot for this keenswh! Thanks!

 

Great Maker!

E:

This is huge too!

 

Right, less excitement, more checking the game don't crash every 5 mins, or else you'll have to spend time with the in-laws after all

 

T is the season to be jolly, merry christmas keen and everyone!

 

Literally Marek right now

 

Very excited to see this. I didn't expect it so soon.

I'm afraid of what bugs we may find though. Cool none the less

 

Hey Zig, is that Comic Sans I see in your signature?
