Update Notes For October 29th (alpha-0.2.31)

Stellar Shipyard Playtest · published · build 26302371

Added

  • New ore: Serpentinite. Consists of magnesium and water. It can only be found in hotter zones, so it will not be found in the starter area.
  • New item: Magnesium. Not much use right now, other than for crushing into metal powder and Machine Learning research.
  • New item: Magnesium Dataset. Intermediate product for Machine Learning research.
  • New tech: Magnesium Engineering.
  • Overall, these changes incentivize rushing towards the second star system once you unlock Supercomputers.

Fixed

  • Shaders are now compiled down to a Vulkan 1.0 SpirV profile, meaning the game should run on even older hardware (at untested performance levels though).

Changed

  • Workers UI now shows more items per page.
  • Machine Learning research now requires Magnesium Dataset.
