Star System Overhaul Patch, We have gone through and updated all of the planets to use the new rendering tool. They should all be much more interesting to explore and build on.
Additions:
- Added parts: Light armor plating in 3 sizes and Medium armor plating in 3 sizes.
- Added Christmas Tree room part (functions as a small storage and looks cozy).
- Added Christmas Tree Loot Crate.
- Added new roof panel art.
- Added new part: HGas Fuel Tank 3X6.
- Added panning camera for ships.
- Added four modes to the camera (Cycle through camera modes with C).
- Added loot spawns. (Crates (currently disguised as christmas trees) will spawn in certain areas on planets, open them using F to get a surprise!)
Changes:
- Lowered pan distance and max zoom of player camera.
- Gave the panning camera distance based smoothing.
- Made the camera freeze it’s panning if you open menus.
- Made the camera pan relative to zoom.
- Improved the look of raised terrain.
- Changed how explosion force is calculated.
- Rebuilt part explosion method.
- Improved orbit calculations so trajectory lines are much more stable.
- Improved how thrusters reverse thrust and thruster damage are calculated.
Fixes:
- Fixed roofs having invalid transforms to check visibility against.
- Fixed weapons being able to shoot through raised terrain.
- Fixed map trajectories sometimes turning dark grey.
- Fixed issue where parts would explode when deconstructed.
- Fixed issue where explosions could sometimes pull you inwards.
- Fixed some minor issues with gravity calculations.
