Update 01.023 - Cargo ships

Update 01.023 has been released. We have added cargo ships - auto-piloted vessels (miners, freighters and military) that carry ore, ingots, constructions components and other materials from sector to sector. They can be looted but beware, they often contain booby traps! Also, we changed the priority of how devices consume power (solar panels first, then nuclear reactors). We have also increased the max speed of astronaut character to 111.5 m/s and added support for surround sound systems.

Multi-player: we are working on an improved multi-player code where all known issues should get resolved (reduced lag, predictions, variable time step, etc.). We are aware that some of you are experiencing various issues in multiplayer. We expect that this new code will be ready in a few weeks.

Features
- added cargo ships - auto-piloted vessels (miners, freighters and military) that carry ore, ingots, constructions components and other materials from sector to sector. They can be looted but beware, they often contain booby traps!
- changed the priority of how devices consume power (solar panels first, then nuclear reactors)
- increased the max speed of astronaut character to 111.5 m/s – this speed is higher than the max speed of ships (players are now able to catch up ships flying at max speed)
- silver refinement is 4x faster (used in reactor and medical components)
- added support for surround sound systems

ya... thx for the update

 

awesome! Cant wait to try it out

 

Please add energy collector like battery!!!

 

does this have effect on old saves ? or do you have to have a new save to have the new stuffs

 

ROCK ON DEVS!!!! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTT

 

Nice! Thanks!

 

awesome guys! love it!

 

Brilliant. Thanks guys keep up the great work!

Fix respawning next! Down with yellow ships!

 

AMAZING!

I will never get any work done today...

 

Are drills fixed and collecting ore again?

 

Excellent Update!

 

no conveyers

 

Ships need to be faster than astronaut! maybe add a warp drive for big ships

 

Can't wait to try it out! Good job!

 

I am happy. Cargo ships look like NPCs to me!

 

there is one big problem with the speed change if you go with your jetpack in a ships cockpit and leave it then the speed bugs you can't move and keep moving also you cant move with your mouse your fully stuck and if you do that in open space you keep falling endless in space turing off and on jetpack wont work it keep glitching
but thanks for all the rest good work

Yeah!!

Thx to the Devs!!

Cargoships sounds like NPCs?? This would be so cool... This would be more important for me than Christmas and Birthday together !

 

What exactly is the point of automated cargo ships if all asteroids (a max of 16) are pretty darn close to your base to begin with? Not to mention conveyors don't work so you have to have all your buildings right out in the open. Automated mining ships are a severely bad idea too, considering 30%-50% of the ore you mine is dropped out in the open and causes severe lag to your game no matter how powerful your PC is unless you make it so that those drops disappear, then you have a 50% efficient mining ship rather than 95-100% which it should be. If one computer can't even handle the game, how is a server expected to handle multiple people mining? Let alone a fleet of automated mining ships adding huge strain to the server.

 

Great update,
please fix the death when running against another Player, me and my friend died so often because we ran against eachother when working at the same large ship

 

What exactly are the traps

 

Awesome update!
Can we get big ship guns and or conveyors next please?

 

I think you should have fun discovering them ;p lets just say it made all my efforts futile!

 

Hmm. Well thanks for the fixes, the fix with respawning and dying in narrow corridors will probably keep me from dying over and over again in my modified and docked rescue ship. I hope. (Kept spawning me in the floor.)

I'll probably take a look at this update later but I have to admit that this one's not getting me excited as I don't see any need for these cargo ships right now. Well maybe it's different than I expect and I expect not every new feature to be as exciting as survival or multiplayer where.

Could you guys put in those conveyors next please? If you have lots of stuff in lots of containers, refineries and assemblers it gets REALLY ANNOYING to move everything around by hand, half the time I'm running from A to B to C to A to D just to put my stuff where I need it. Conveyors, please?

Oh and that slingshot into outer space problem is also something I'm missing on the fixes list which is kind of important. ;-)

Keep it coming

 

Anybody else have to rebind keys after this update ?

 

Crashed as soon as I looted a rifle from a military escort
