Update 1.185.3 - Beta Improvements

Yay. I'm insanely eager for the next major update, but I expect these minor fixit updates to continue for a while. The slowly falling echo from the last major update...

 

sad times, still waiting for that god damn survival update

 

• fixed artificial gravity not taking into account natural gravity

Aww man, now I have to redesign my moon cannon. :<

Thanks for the laser antenna fix, though! Keep up the good work!

@northypark : I'm waiting on the survival update too, but don't despair! I've been biding my time by designing projectable blueprints for my next big survival run, including a warhead-based underground silo!

 

That's one of the most random fixes i've seen i a while
But thanks for triple-A-shit

 

i have made a entire fleet of ships and vehicles and i really want to play survival again, but the one we have no is getting very boring sadly.

 

Still no fix for turrets constantly shooting dead bodies?

 

I'm waiting for a global update, but it's not there again = (((

 

Does this mean gravity drives work on planets now?

 

Are we ever going to get the wheels fix that was teased many months ago?

 

Can we get a fix that makes it possible to properly program various blocks - more slide bars and yes/no options.
Such as X-Y-Z limitations to turrets. THAT could be awesome!

 

Is this the fix for the stuttering rovers? As reported for example here.

 

Thank you guys for your work

 

This is driving me crazy! Hopefully a fix will be in the next patch.

 

It is not a game but a design program. Building is fun, but not playing. i would like more game relevant updates please

 

This is most certainly not true to me. It is a game - but it relies heavily on designer abilities. The Simplification of the interface/physics thus far is honestly disheartening - if you only play on Creative I can see why you might think that it's only a design program - but trust me - in survival it is so much more than a simple designer. Also - I think the biggest thing they could do to increase me and my friends enjoyment of the game would be to fix the issue with large ships lagging DS at random. This is something that /might/ require more than a simple fix but it would definitely pay off in the long run - as it stands flying a large ship in survival creates the occasional huge lag spike which can directly cause a crash if your not expecting it.

 

Hi, I hope, that will be some update which will correct lights, mean "shining" across walls (blocks).

 

this

 

That is intentional. Casting shadows from a light eats some performance. Therefore Interior Lights are performance-friendly, while Spotlights (they do cast shadows) are perfomance-unfriendly.

 

- Removed safety lock from G screen action bar.

I take it were no longer allowed to manually toggle safety locks on and off?

 

I'm at work, so I can't check, but as of yesterday, the G screen action bar had both "Safety Lock" and "Rotor Lock" options. I'm guessing they removed the defunct Safety one and left the Rotor Lock alone (since it was recently added due to player outcry).

 

What does DS stand for?

 

Dedicated Server

The unnecessary use of obscure initialeze on the forum is a constant source of confusion and annoyance.

 

Moon gravity is low enough for them to still work, barely.

 

its called double tap. its a necessity for master survival

 

what is the survival update!?

 

Since this update, Windows now dings while in-game, every time I hit enter, Ctrl + A, Escape, Tab. etc. Really annoying!

EDIT: Small workaround until it gets fixed: Mute system sounds via the volume mixer.

 

and nobody read bugreports ...

 

yet you're still here...

 

Just want to see new weapons and enemies, maybe a objective or a Currency system would be nice to see in the future, It wouldn't take much time to make a money system that could be traded in for resources and would make cargo ships have a higher value and make MotherShips more powerful as they would have a city inside able to grow just from trading and what not.

But thats in the far future after all the bug fixes and survival updates...

 

Fix turrets shooting dead bodies,
Fix turrets being able to aim inside themselves,
Fix turret reticle still being visible when using Spectator mode ( F8 ),
Fix turrets hitting blocks on the same grid ( friendly fire work around is not a fix ),

FIX TURRETS.
