Update 1.076 – More oxygen options, Space ball!!!

Summary
We have broadened the oxygen options in the game. Now, there can be oxygen inside small ships and cockpits. Additionally, there is an oxygen level on the player’s suit (available only in survival mode and only if enabled in options). The character will have to breathe oxygen in order to survive. If the level drops to 0, he will lose health. Oxygen can be replenished in the medical room or through oxygen bottles, which can be replenished in oxygen tanks or oxygen generators. Lastly, there is a Space Ball that bounces inside the game!!!!

Important note for modders:
We changed the mechanics of spawning in medical rooms, so all modded medical rooms should include: dummy detector_respawn in order to spawn the player as the default medical room.

First! Why, oh why do I have to be at work right now? Must get home!

 

Second!

Cool Update! Really like the new oxigen features.
Btw. LOL @ 0:10 of the video

 

It happend

 

Nice!

 

WOOT!!!!! ITS HERE!!!!!!!

 

Looks like a bit of meh update this time. Have to try these out, anyway.

 

Space balls? I am curious what is this leading to. Basketball mode? ^^

 

YES!

 

Lol, meanwhile people are still playing the F5 game in the other thread.

 

Just saying, it would be hilarious if the space balls turned out to be a bit glitchy, and someone made a ball pit that did physics magic and ended up launching a player's corpse away at mach 1(and uploaded the video).

 

Eleventh. xP Sweet update!

 

Do not taunt, happy Space ball...

 

Oxygen uses yes, I love the new survival features.

 

Yeah, that track has been in the files forever, but when it played in the video both my wife and kid were laughing.

 

Nice update! No planets but still nice for better immersion into the spacey feeling.

 

I guess we have a reason for the conveyer ports on the Med room now.

 

good for roleplaying, now you have an actual reason to find ice instead of being mister helmet on all the time.

 

I feel so vindicated for hooking most of my med rooms up to conveyors all this time.

 

Are the balls some kind of april fool?

 

Cant wait to arrive in berlin to check the video

 

lol, space balls. Love the oxygen update.

 

sounds like more detriments then benefits and kind of forces someone to use oxygen... but looks good!

 

Very nice update. This is going to change gameplay quite a bit, adding more challenges to PVP.

You could look at it that way.. but when you're building up a new ship or base, not having to charge as much cause your suite uses less energy is a interesting trade off..

 

Nice work! Seems that a lot of features that players asked for have been implemented. Thanks!

 

They said in the video it is a late April Fool's Joke.

 

No reduction in amount of oxygen consumed?

Space balls?

With added schwartz I hope.
