    Summary
    This week’s update is introducing an important feature to rotors and pistons. Just like pistons have been doing for a while, rotors now also lock by default at around 100m/s. We've also added the ability to manually choose the speed at which pistons and rotors lock as well a safety lock override checkbox. A new audio distance (echo) system has been implemented into our engine this week which means the volume of sound effects will change depending on your distance from the sound source. Some changes regarding ownership when building in space master have been made. When building with creative mode tools enabled in space master, the ownership of any block that you place will automatically be assigned to you. New rifle sounds have been added which will help you to identify the different variants. Lastly, we are releasing a new texture modding tool which is designed to help modders create game-ready textures. A guide for the new tool can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=635927143

    - Manual rotor & piston safety lock
    - Audio distance (echo) system
    - Space master changes (ownership)

    Yay!
    Although with the default max speed of 100m/s, why have the default set to that?

    All I have to say is: Nice

    Phoenix, it's good if you need to lock a piston/rotor on a contraption of some sort. Right now I just use max braking torque and then I turn the rotor off, I'm guessing this new lock will also keep it from sheering under the force of everything else (like the piston weld feature)

    Cool feature, but still kinda eh since pistons and rotors are still very broken in most situations.

    Nice, if I understand the rotor lock correctly this will be tremendously helpful for ships with landing ramps

    Soooo..

    You ever going to fix it on single player?


    EDIT:
    To my astonishment, I'm running my test base right now after the patch and solar panels, batteries, and a reactor are all playing nice together without me having to manually switch anything off and on. I'm very happy with this result.

    The solar panels are still filling the battery before they fill the refinery (refinery is pulling from the battery, leading to power waste) but this is a small issue and shouldn't diminish the otherwise great outcome.

    Great maybe this will fix my problems with pistons and rotors.

    Wait... what?

    This is good.... have not yet been able to build a compact small ship capable of traveling to space with hydrogen thrusters. Maybe this will solve the issue.

    immediate CTD (crash to desktop) with the "want to submit log to keen" box after this update. Logs submitted , going to wipe and do fresh install also and try it

    update, looks like I forgot about the client extender, it was still referenced even though I did a complete uninstall / reinstall

    What? ???

    Nice one! :tu:
    I guess this will please alot of players who found H on small ships pretty useless, because of the enormous
    dimensions/weight of the small ship H tank compared to its content.

    I like this guy. :D
