Update 0.99.87

Added

• Added a research for advanced slag processing to extract rare earth minerals.
• Added an option to “come and scan with LPS scanner” when assigning a rover via right-click.
• Added a tooltip about detaching the Multi-resource Storage from a module.
• Added icons for Tech Center enhancements.

Fixed

• Fixed a bug that prevented completing barter contracts.
• Fixed an issue in the “Black Obelisk” quest where two colonists could fail to return from the expedition while still remaining in the colonist list.
• Fixed an issue where during long, uninterrupted play on a save, colonists could start ignoring dining tables and neurostimulators intake.
• Fixed a bug where in some cases drones would not continue building a room after loading a save.
• Fixed a bug where in some cases drones could ignore module construction.
• Fixed a bug where in some cases drones could get stuck trying to pick up a resource dropped from a conveyor.
• Fixed a bug where in some cases modules would not connect to the power grid.
• Fixed a bug where in some cases a contract couldn’t be completed due to a rocket stuck in flight.
• Fixed a bug where after loading a save, the logistics panel would default to selecting the Flight Control Center that is in auto-trade mode.
• Fixed a bug where loading a save would not keep the game paused.
• Fixed a bug where the notification about a resource stuck on a conveyor wouldn’t disappear after dropping resources.
• Fixed a bug where the preferred resource filter for gases in the Cargo Dock did not work correctly.
• Fixed a bug where in some cases the quest timer could reset when loading a save.
• Fixed a bug where fractional values could appear in the electricity consumption tooltip.
• Fixed a bug that made it possible to land two rockets on one Launch Station.
• Fixed a bug where in some cases after loading a save, a rocket would depart without waiting for refueling to finish.
• Fixed a bug where in some cases refueling progress on a rocket would not be saved.
• Fixed a bug where removing conveyors while holding LMB would only grant money during the next demolition.
• Fixed a bug where auto-sell at the Launch Station was not working correctly.
• Fixed a bug where during the contract filling stage, rockets did not show the Launch Station they were on.
• Fixed a bug where during contract filling, rockets sometimes displayed a cargo capacity of zero.
• Fixed a bug where if you opened a contract via the logistics window, capsule icons wouldn’t change and their cargo capacity showed zero.
• Fixed a bug where overfilled drills would still deplete the deposits beneath them.
• Fixed a bug where the Ice Harvester interface could temporarily show fractional numbers.
• Fixed a bug with incorrect display of the Electrolysis Plant model when rotated or mirrored.
• Fixed a bug where the mining button in the Mobile Drilling Rig interface wouldn’t update after assigning via right-click.
• Fixed a bug where you could scan with the Ore Detector while on the upper level.
• Fixed the positioning of the room construction priority notification.
• Fixed a bug with contract icon display in the logistics panel.
• Fixed the recipe after upgrading the Carbon Fiber Factory to Mk.2.
• Fixed an issue where the Underground Elevator started pipe counting from -1/4.
• Updated anomaly descriptions — the displayed values now correctly match gas extraction speed.

Changed

• Updated the story requirement descriptions for unlocking the CRUST and UNIVERSE rockets.
• Changed the colonist profession requirement in the Gas Extractor quest.
• Removed the stuck resource notification from the Conveyor Elevator.
• Removed gases from distributor filters.
• Updated generator upgrade icons.
• Removed the check for a Launch Station when taking a rocket contract.
• The early contract completion reward field now shows percentage ranges instead of exact numbers.
• Changes to pause handling.
• Changed the conveyor input on the Biogenerator.
• Improved the model of the Industrial Kitchen.
• Improved the appearance of bulk resources on conveyors.
• Increased the scrollable area in the research tree.
• Removed the limit on the number of Gas Extraction Facilities at an outpost.
• Adjusted the size of the notification for a resource stuck on a conveyor.
• Tweaked the display of gas amounts in module recipes.

Balance

• Adjusted descriptions of Tech Center enhancements.
• Research speed boost from the Tech Center reduced: 20% → 15%.
• Jobs on all farms reduced: 2 → 1, productivity per colonist doubled.
• Secondary slag processing speed in the Single Regolith Refinery reduced: 15 → 30.

• Balanced rocket speeds and flight durations to Io, Europa, and Titan.
• Reduced the cost of Outpost Gas Extractor upgrades by 50%.
• Increased the efficiency of Outpost Gas Extractors from 10% to 15%.
• Increased the chance of Argon and Neon veins spawning on the base map.
