Please note that many features in this selection are still in development, although many of them are already available for look in indev branch

Blueprints


I am working on blueprints; the main functionality is already complete, and now I am working on the UI as well as ways to share blueprints. Plans include creating local storage, the ability to share using a base64 code string, and publishing blueprints to the Steam Workshop cloud



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

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.

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.

Also, the first third-party mod has already appeared in the Steam Workshop!

Color lights


And much more!

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.

Preparations for drilling rig overhaul, trains and resource balance
The upcoming overhaul of the drilling rig system marks a significant step forward in enhancing resource extraction mechanics and balancing the in-game economy. This update is designed to introduce more depth and strategy to resource gathering, encouraging players to plan and optimize their drilling operations. With improved drilling rig functionality, players can expect a more realistic and engaging experience in locating and extracting resources.

New network graph



The electric network code has been optimized for more even distribution, and the issue of skipped consumers has been fixed.

Significant improvements include a 50% reduction in computing time for resource networks, achieved by eliminating the shuffle step. This efficiency is possible as the network now accurately distributes power based on the known power requirements of all consumers.

Note that with multiple heavy consumers and numerous small ones, some operational changes may occur. Additionally, the precision of requested values could vary due to electricity buffers in some machines.

Logic Circuit UI improvements

Now you can select rule signals from input signals.
Logic circuit UI was improved.


  • Autoloot mined items

We would like to inform you about the forthcoming update for Evospace. This update includes several new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Here are the details:

New Features and Models
A significant enhancement in this update is the introduction of 'Sector Structure 0.19'. This new sector structure has been developed for better performance. As part of our commitment to compatibility, we have taken a transitional step to ensure that maps from all previous versions of the game can be opened in the new update.
'Planar Water' is added. Big simplification but also huge optimization and fix.
New blocks: 'HandGenerator Block' and 'KineticHeater Block' is added.
Model improvements: The models for 'Sifter', 'Compact Generator', and 'Induction Furnace' have been updated.



Improvements
A new 'lua lib' has been added for improved scripting.
The 'Jetpack Effect' will now be disabled on low settings to optimize performance.
The 'Item Rack' will now include descriptions for improved usability.

Bug Fixes
The animation for 'Chem Bath' has been fixed.
The issue with 'Titanium Ingot Achievement' has been resolved.
The'Cell Hand Recipe' bug has been fixed.



We have much more updated content and plan to publish it with small parts. New loading menu, block replace, updated models, new tech, modding and more.

We will continue to work on further updates for Evospace and appreciate your ongoing feedback.

Thank you.

Evospace Roadmap

Major part of modding support is done. At this point most of all block logic are already working on new system.

I’m still working on api, but currently the game is already playable and i can add some content.

Kinetic Heater


Hand Generator



With hand generator i can return price to the water recipe

Finite Ore Deposits


Ores now are sector based. Available for Drilling Rig ores now is depends on map ores. If you can see Copper Ore on surface then Drilling Rig probably will be able to extracting it here too

Each sector has his values for each ore. While you extracting ores from sector speed will be decreasing
By default each sector has one most common ore with capacity = 1000
When gathered > capacity extracting speed will be slowly decreasing

At the moment i'm working on modding support. I have moved old Lua code to my new library. Also resource loading code is improved with detailed error logging.

Modding support will be not only new feature in 0.19. I'm plan to add new technology branch with more advanced fuels and extend usage of filtering unit.



Here is couple of new QoL features in 0.19 that is already implemented:

Block replacing:


More predictable plock placement:


Indev branch will be available approximate in a month.
