Hello Node Farmers!

Today I deployed a new major update - v1.5!
This time I focused more on Quality of Life improvements and the new feature - analytics/statistics view!

There is also an interesting experimental feature that can be enabled in the settings - resource transport between the storage clusters! More info below:

Major changes

  • New: analytics view added - now you can see the production/consumption/storage per island and globally (it is an additional view like "show connections" for example)
  • New: analytics per node popup added - now you can see the production/consumption/storage when hovering over the node (it can be disabled in the settings)
  • New: experimental feature - sending resources between the storage cluster added. If enabled - storage nodes that are not in the same cluster (a group of directly connected nodes of the same type) can send resources to other storage clusters (they couldn't do it before). It is disabled by default and can be enabled in the Settings menu.

Minor changes

  • Improvement: in delete mode - when clicking on a node, without moving a mouse, you will delete only this one node (not all in a rectangle)
  • Improvement: multiclicker and buffs can be placed on connections now
  • Improvement: camera mode toolkit button added - it was not that clear that player can disable the ui (it was mentioned only in the wiki)
  • Bug: multi-selected nodes were connecting to other selected neighbors if they were not connected - it worked while holding shift, but this behavior should be disabled anyway for the selected nodes - fixed
  • Bug: eye dropper is selecting the wrong node in the utility category if the clickers are disabled - fixed
