Game update
Zero-K v1.13.12.1 - Mostly Graphics Fixes
Zero-K - Bronze Donation ($10) · published · build 21334986
The Huge Graphics Update of last week was a huge success and only introduced a few minor issues. This update fixes the ones that we are aware of.
- Fixed a texture detail issue that made units slightly pixelated and a bit harder to distinguish at medium zoom levels.
- Tweaked outlines to be a bit more visible when zoomed out, by default.
- Fixed status effects clipping into undamaged nanoframes. The status effect shader thought that nanoframes should be deformed, but they are not.
- Fixed grid hotkeys missing from most build menus.
- Added Colemak keyboard layout preset (thanks allentiak).
- Factories now open automatically when completed.
- Amph and Spider now have to wait 1s to open before starting production, to match other factories.
- Fixed the lighting on a few more maps.

But it takes good feedback to see this kind of result, so today it is time for some advice on how to g…Cold Take #45 - Automatic DodgingSimulated projectile physics is a core part of Zero-K, both for the aesthetics and as a balance tool. Rather than using armour classes, light units are nimble enough to dodge most of the projectiles meant for heavier targets. We also want to create powerful controls, so players can fight their opponents rather than the UI , and automation is part of achieving this goal. So you might expect us t…Zero-K v1.14.8.0 - Unit Icons and Magpie NerfThis update improves the command menu by adding larger build icons with a higher resolution. The bottom of the UI also has a scale setting as we move towards better support for increasingly large screens. There are also a few fixes and a setting that automatically disables cables for Linux users with ATI graphics. Anyone coming forward to reproduce, and potentially even fix, the cable bugs woul…
