Dynamic research tree and search

Lumen rendering

Lumen is a fully dynamic global illumination solution that immediately reacts to scene and light changes, enhancing realism. It provides natural light and reflections across diverse environments without the need for traditional baking processes, significantly improving visual fidelity and immersion.

Block network v3

The Block Network v3 represents an advanced iteration of interconnected systems, facilitating a network of networks characterized by highly efficient switch toggling. This architecture allows for seamless integration and communication between different network nodes, ensuring optimal performance

Save / auto save overhaul

The save system has undergone a comprehensive overhaul, introducing a new user interface that enhances interaction and usability. With improved, predictable behavior, the system now offers more reliability.

Decorative blocks

I have added multiple decorative blocks and working on possibility do add more with mods.

New filter/constructor interface

0.19 is available in the indev branch. It is still in development but already stable enough to take a look.

Decorative blocks

I am adding non-cubic decorative blocks, and there will be more in the future. All such blocks can be painted with the Paint Tool

Better rotation

Now, rotating with R + Shift / Alt is much more predictable, and there is a visual hint for such rotation. Press Shift or Alt to see it. Also, rotation during construction with the right mouse button held down now works more predictably

Solar panels

Power output from solar panels has significantly increased, but now it depends on their angle relative to the sun. Large panels can rotate when kinetic energy is supplied to them.

Tools inventory

Tools are now always in a separate inventory, from which they cannot be removed, but they can be placed on the quick access panel. Shift + right click provides tool settings, for example, you can disable the digging of certain types of blocks or adjust the digging speed. There are no longer levels of Multitool, but there is research that increases its working speed.

Resource drain and Parts factory

In versions 0.19-0.20, I plan to focus more on finite resources and balance, as blueprints will make it much easier to copy production. General components have been added, for which it makes sense to build a factory, like a gearbox. Also, recursive crafting of solar elements is a fair price, as energy production directly depends on the number of solar elements used and the space they occupy

Moddable tutorial

I have added a beautiful and expandable solution for creating in-game tutorials/detailed tooltips. Based on this, the main mechanics of the game will be explained, and in the future, this tutorial will guide you through all the main stages of developing your base on the way to completing the game. Note that all existing tooltips are already based on a mod, and mods are already available for creation.

Much much more content are in development, i will release it in future update to not overload this one.
Trains, blueprints, mining drill rework, covers and new game mode are coming in 0.19.1 0.19.2 ...
