Mini Community Update: New Building Pieces and Bug Fixes
Drift: Space Survival · published
This update brings a few new building pieces requested by the community and fixes a handful of bugs and crashes.
In addition, I back-ported a number of quality of life changes from the upcoming Space Exploration Update as we continue to work on wrapping that up. More to come on that in the next few days.
- Added a new pyramid capstone family of pieces to use in your Ha'tak builds
- Added an inverted version of all the Triangle Wall pieces
- Added beacons for all other players in the game beyond 50m
- Beacons of all type now snap to the edge of the screen when not in view
- Fixed losing mouse focus after using Alt+Tab!
- Fixed some VFX particles disappearing
- Will now only show Steam lobbies from games running the same version
- Fixed massive lag spike in some cases using the drill
- Improve game startup time
- Added a separate color for large asteroid pings to help avoid grappling
- Updated build system logic to make triangle floors snap somewhat smarter (still not perfect though)
- Fixed Asteroid Wrangler achievements not working across saves
- Fixed Tractor Targets not increasing acceleration in some (read: all) cases
- Fixed various crashes in game code and an updated engine build
Thanks for playing and for your continued support!

Crafting will be key to surviving the void of space and rebuilding your ship's system to escape the collapsing galaxy. Crafting is currently available at the three crafting stations, the Crafter, Smelter and Crusher. As we expanded the technology and resources in the game, it felt…
