Hello Nomads,

This update brings one longely awaited feature - block coloring.
While using multitool, you can pick a color from our palette using middle mouse button (you can change it in options, of course) and then set this color to existing blocks using primary multitool action (left mouse button). Newly built blocks are colored automatically.

Here is the list of other changes:
  • finally resolved conveyor loading freeze issues
  • added recipe for seeds to greenhouse
  • added Ryu Tamaru story line
  • fixed missing tutorial parts
  • tweaked building "ghost block" gizmo appearance

Hello Nomads,

Because the last bugfix 0.8.6.1 seemed to introduce more bugs than it solved, we've decided to roll back to 0.8.6 update (0.8.6.0 release). We are actively working on preparing new release that will fix all the issues.

Sorry for your troubles.

  • Improved physics stability (changed the way how inertia tensors is computed)
  • Building system tweaks:
    • disabled grid snapping if not possible to build in given place
    • changed build distance for different block sizes
    • added effect on block removal
  • Performance tweaks:
    • added object visibility distance settings: low and very high
    • added option to completely disable decorative grass objects
    • fixed slow loading of saves with many pipes
    • disabled planet map rendering where not necessary
    • changed order of rendering distant trees
    • dynamic object batching
