    • fixed late targeting of enemy drones by turrets
    Does this mean you fixed turrets so they don't shoot dead wolves and spiders?

    Okay, that "Space Just Got Real" mod is an absolute necessity.
    Being in bright light and looking into a dark cave shouldn't illuminate the cave - this has bothered me for years. Thanks for that mod, man!
    And Keen - Please implement this, or some similar fix. I know the Source engine is pretty great at light and "realistic, auto-adjustments" so it is definitely doable :D

    Any news on fixes for merged piston sets or wheels ? These are holding up some builds.

    Performance issues like the conveyor system checking every port of every block ?

    More conveyor block options like; 3-way: airtight straight, corner, 3-way ... The 6-way is getting over used due to lack of options which that in it's self is hitting on performance.

    Just waitng for the super dark LCD image problem to be fixed along with lighting in the game as a whole i think needs to be reworked and maybe in the future add Crypto currancy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) as the games currancy

    What a shame to see how the development of the game goes, when it should be much more advanced and still unplayable, we will not see this game work in this life. And there are still those who applaud and thank, in short ... "the game of infinite development", are going to eat the SE with potatoes the new generation of games that are on the way.

    Thank you! Those were infuriating to work around, especially when adding script tags to 400 small reactors.

    (I know I could have just used mod reactors, but it feels more balanced and challenging to fuel vanilla reactors.)

    Looks nice. I really LIKE the look of the skybox itself. But not what the mod does the lighting levels ingame.
    Look at this one. This is with the 'default' skybox coming out of a hole thats been mined, pretty close to the exit.
    Theres 'just' enough detail to see where you flying.
    Also, note the missing battery on right side, was a mix of not being able to quite see the voxel side + lack of detail due to the drop in light levels which was quite dark down where I was mining.

    Question:
    Does anyone have an idea of when objects when fall more realistically?
    On Earth for example, the acceleration of falling down is going way too slow.

    so i made a little test, you can easily replicate it:

    1) build a 100m tower
    2) drop a block and take the time until it hits the ground
    3) height of the tower equals (9,81/2)*t²

    the calculated heigt of my tower is 99,3m which is quite accurate (took the time with my cellphone clock)

    I'm going to check it out. But can't help to notice that everything gravity-related looks so darn slow somehow.
    "What is it about this game" i wonder. There always has been something off visually.

    --EDIT--
    Not talking about simspeed/framerate btw.
    They run smooth.

    When will we see a fix for the rotors having violent shaking to the ships and other attached objects? It is hard to drive my car with this shaking.

    Well i think what you mean are "Phantom forces".
    I took up only bits and pieces of the entire story, but as far as i can explain, is that it has to do with being out of line relative to the mass center point.
    Rotors aligned on the X,Y and Z axis building up their misalignment, also on multiple axis, and on some way that isn't what the physics-engine was designed to interpret.
    But i could be very wrong. On my assumption of your meaning, AND on the cause of phantom forces.

    Maybe you could explain more about the configuration of your ship. I'm sure someone can help you out.

    I am fairly certain it has to do with the ~100m/s 'speed limit'

    You know what else would be a nice 'minor' fix?

    Adding the missing edge detail to 2x1 armour blocks, and fixing block rotation in mirroring mode ( Creative ). That would be nice...
