We wanted to post a quick update here to say that there's no new build this week. That's because we're busy working on the overhaul of the tutorial, which we know many of you are anxious for. Thanks for the support you've shown. We're excited to get the new tutorial out to you!
0.3.5.5 had a bug that could cause B.I.T.S. to become duplicated many times when using the new undo feature. The problem is fixed now in 0.3.5.6. Sorry about that! One other thing: if undo isn't working for you, go to the input configuration screen and click the button at the bottom to reset to default. That'll force the new Undo key mapping to load. And as a recap, here's what was new in 0.3.5…
This week we've got something (hopefully) very useful: undo in the simulation deck. Just hit ctrl+z. You've got 100 levels of undo now, so no more worrying about messing up your patterns! Here are a few other things we changed: · Simulation tab is now the default screen shown when pulling up the Omni UI on the simulation deck. · Fixed a bug where publishing to Workshop sometimes didn't publish…
We've got Workshop support for you in the simulation deck now. If you've already used the simulation deck, it should be pretty straightforward. Here a few tips: You'll notice there's a new "Browse Workshop" button on the Simulation screen in the Omni UI (tab menu) on the simulation deck. While browsing, if you see something you like, just click the Subscribe button and it'll be downloaded into…
The main highlight this week is the new simulation deck, accessible via the LAIR elevator. Here's how to use the new simulation deck: Head to the elevator and press the option to go to the Simulation Level. Once there, the simulation deck will automatically activate and you'll see a big empty space you can build in. Hit Tab to bring up the Omni UI and select the new button at the top called Sim…
Here's what's new this week: · Performance improvements for the "Normal" and "High" graphics quality settings. More improvements still to come, of course. If performance hasn't been great for you, we're very interested to hear how it is now. IMPORTANT: If you were already on "Normal" or "High," you'll need to toggle to another graphics quality setting and then back in order for the new performa…
Here's what's new this week: · BIT placement is much easier now. Previously it felt like positioning BITs was a matter of obeying the placement system's constraints. Now it should feel much more like you're in total control. Still some work to be done, but this update is a big improvement. · After placing a BIT, placement for the next BIT defaults to a position adjacent to the one you just plac…
Lots of stuff for you this week! · BITs can now be destroyed. Check any BIT's durability rating to see how much damage it can take. The PSA-12A pistol currently deals 26 hit points of damage. Drone bullets deal 6 hit points. One side note: BITs fabricated before this update have a durability rating of 0, even if the Omni UI inspector shows otherwise. · Improved pistol sounds, projectile, and re…
The latest build is up, and it's got a brand new intro video (rendered in real time). Also, we are excited to announce that Metaverse's soundtrack is now by OVERWERK. Not to mention all the new stuff we just added in 0.3.0.6: · Big terrain improvements. We think it’s gorgeous and can't wait for you to see it. · All new water system. Planets now have ponds, lakes, oceans, and continents. · Compl…
Hi community! In our last announcement we shared that we have transitioned from our Pre-Alpha experimentation stage and have moved into a high fidelity production mode based on all the ideas that were successful and well received by you during that stage. We are excited to release the first in a cascading series of updates as we enter Alpha. In this update you're going to find: · Big terrain im…

We do our best to keep Metaverse stable and working well, but it is in a constant state of development, and if it does crash on your computer, here's what you can do: · Make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date. This is the most common cause for a crash, so it's important to make sure everything's updated. Click here for instructions . · Restart your computer. Seems simple, but if mem…

We've also set up a Facebook page for Cubic, and we encourage you to go check it out. Going forward, we'll be using the Facebook page as a space to share some of our thoughts about the development process, as well…
Improvements · Fabrications deployed prior to v0.0.3.4 can now be destroyed. Fixes · Fixed Fabricator schematics sometimes getting corrupted and preventing Fabricator from being used at all. Thanks to Bilbo and bloodyrazorsedge for reporting this and sending detailed info to [email protected]
With this update, you can now disintegrate placed fabrications. The amount of damage a fabrication can take is dependent on the hardness and quantity of the materials used in it. There are also a few other important changes, such as improved collision detection on placed fabrications (this one's for you, Bilbo ) Features · Fabrications can now be disintegrated with your laser pistol. Improvemen…
