Planet Nomads - Craneballs


Hello Nomads,

In today's release we present new block for connecting conveyor systems. If you cannot fit pipes from different grids, just bring them close and put Conveyor Connector on each end.

We have also added two different shapes of solar panels and one new type of cockpit. The new cockpit is made mostly of glass so you will have better view, especially under your feet.

Last but not least, we have unlocked 3 new languages in menu. It's not 100% completed, but very near to finish.

Here is the complete list of changes:

  • new block Conveyor Connector - to join conveyors from different grids
  • new block Glassed Cockpit - for better maneuvering of your air crafts
  • new blocks Flat Solar Panels and Sloped Solar Panels
  • new "beta" languages: Russian, Portuguese (Brazil), Czech
  • optimized mass recalculation
  • fixed conveyors recalculation when grids are split
  • fixed vanishing buildings when last part of terrain chunk is deleted

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.
