Down here in New Zealand, it’s been a couple of long, locked-down months, but the Stationeers team is back and bouncing out an update for you powerheads and balance boffins
Enjoy the improvements to our power system, new tech, architectural additions, furious fixes, tweaks and more, knowing that Stationeers is preparing the ground for surprises in updates soon to come ...

Try out the Omni-directional power transmitter – a wireless battery charger that uses special cells with a lower capacity than regular batteries. Even supertech has its downsides, right?



There’s a line of new doors for base building. Improve your interiors with these attractive portals, as well as a manual hatch that can operate without power, should something go wrong.



Plus we’re giving you better control over power transmission, exposing new logic and new math functions for the transmitter itself.

We’ve been tightening the bolts and polishing like crazy, removing some long-standing issues like the infamous ‘Infinite Power Exploit'.



Voltage on recursive power networks will now cause input cables on those providers to break. It’s a change that affects AreaPowerControl, StationBattery, Transformers and Wireless power transmitters and receivers. So be warned.

We’ve repaired the sensor lenses for scanning ore. They’re now working better than ever by showing you the entire ore vein and actually help you find ore instead of leading you astray. Happy mining.



We’ve fixed the vacuum room cooling bug, so devices placed in a vacuum in an enclosed room no longer radiate heat – stopping the magical deletion of heat from devices in a completely enclosed room.

That's just a little of the deep-cleaning we'ev been doing. There’s a heap more fixes and tweaks, too, but if you find a bug, you're totally invited to add a ticket to our Jira – we appreciate it massively.

There’s been balance changes to some critical systems, too, like water bottles. Previously you could fill a water bottle with boiling water or cubes of ice and then happily drink it. Now you need to ensure the water is at a reasonable temperature before filling the bottle.

The Winterspawn plant has been nerfed and re-balanced to make it have more "realistic" properties, and breathing hot air now damages your lungs instead of healing them. We just thought we should give everyone … a ‘heads up’ on that.

There’s been a range of other dial-twists, so jump in and take a look.
Happy Stationeering!

Any way you look at it, August has been a month of powerful developments. We're dropping a bunch of new methods for making and managing power, while continuing to up performance across the board. Try out the new Stirling Engine, our wireless Power Transmitters, or the thermal plants. Performance-wise, enjoy new power-ups as we extend our virtualized rendering system and a bunch of UI upgrades, and empower your gameplay with the new portable IC editor laptop.
We're powering up, so come jump in, Stationeers!


At long last, we're dropping wireless power into the game: separate out your power generation, then beam that current anywhere you want, without having to lay miles of cable.



Try creating that power using the new Stirling Engine, a closed-cycle heat-powered electric generator (an essential device for even bigger power developments to come), then managing your excess heat with the genetically manipulated Hades Flower.



For the IC crowd, there's a new portable IC editor laptop, so you can do running repairs on AIMeE in the field, and a few extra storage options, as requested by the community, just to keep things tidy.




We're continuing with our performance push, as we lay groundwork for 1.0 ... We're extending virtualized rendering to more of Stationeer's key construction items, like walls and frames, and will roll it out even further in future. Enjoy the gains, as well as a bump from upgrades to tooltips, which were set back by our recent engine upgrade - now, they're better than ever. And while we were voyaging in the land of UI, we tweaked inventory windows and slots to perform better than ever, too - with even more refinements to come.

Note: The new rendering system is better for most systems, however if you feel like your performance has taken a hit then you can disable it from the settings. This is still a work in progress and we will continue to improve it over time.




We're trialling a feature that should smooth out the appearance of terrain. So lets us know what you think. If it's popular, we will put some time in to solving a few of the technical hurdles it presents.
It's time ... to Stationeer!

• Fixed Input bug where typing into IC editor or labeller would pass commands through to player control. (i.e typing 1 in the IC editor would open helmet panel)
  
• Fixed ITransmitable devices missing Stationpeida descriptions.
  
• Fixed Log Error Spam and very low frame-rate when the game is attempting to play hundreds of new sounds every second. (this could happen if you had a large stack of ores bumping into each-other)
  
• Fixed rotations on new lockers and existing shelf
  
• Fixed Endothermic and Thermogenic Taking damage from Volatiles in their surrounding atmosphere. They will still take damage from Pollutants (X)
  
• Removed empty element from Power Transmittable kit

• Fixed buildstates of research machine being invisible
  
• Fixed client not being able to turn on power transmitter
  
• Fixed view distance of wireless power receiver
  
• Fixed On Off States on power transmitters.
  
• Increased render distance of power transmitter.
  
• Fixed power receiver buildstate requirements

Code

• Changed Reduced power usage of volume pumps and turbo volume pumps to be more in-line with active vents.
  
• Changed Station Battery Large to require Tier 2 electronics printer.
  
• Stationpedia community edits (BigFootMSR, Zappes, Iconoplasty, Mokmo, Risu)
  
• Changed SolarPanels and SatelliteDishes can now rotate infinitely on the Horizontal axis. They will now take the fastest path to to the target rotation.

Content

• Added Laptop
  
• Added Wireless Power Transmitters and receivers.
  
• Added Constructing sounds to Planter.
  
• Added first pass of virtualized rendering, currently for walls and frames. This bypasses Unity's culling and rendering system, allowing us to move culling work from CPU to GPU.
  
• Added 'allspark' server command, sets most items to powered without the need for cabling or a power source.
  
• Added experimental terrain smoothing option
  
• Added Thermogenic plants
  
• Added Stirling Engine to Electronics Printer. The Stirling Engine generates power by expanding and contracting a working gas to drive pistons which power an electrical generator. Heat the hot side by pumping high pressure hot gas into the input pipe and keep the output pipe at low pressure. Cool the cold side by keeping the surrounding atmosphere at room Temperature at a pressure of 1 atmosphere. Add a working gas by inserting a gas canister. Make sure the machine is off when adding or removing Gas canisters otherwise the working gas will leak into the surrounding atmosphere. Gases with a low molecular mass make the most efficient working gasses. More moles of working gas can result in a greater potential power output but letting pressures get too high could have suboptimal results.

• Fixed ArcFurnace Duplication bug caused by putting multiple stacks of BioMass or Charcoal of sizes greater than 50 into the Arc Furnace. This would cause it to produce 500g stacks of any ore placed into it thereafter due to surplus reagent mix building up inside. Arc furnaces currently in this bugged state will now output all the reagent mix inside, run all the outputted reagent mix in a centrifuge to get individual ingredients back from it.
  
• Fixed Biomass being processed instantly by Arc furnace (causing issues at higher frame-rates) it now takes 1 second to turn 1 unit of biomass into 1 unit of charcoal.
  
• Fixed Reflection setting not enabling correctly after re-opening the Stationeers.
  
• Fixed Arc Furnace Activate is now more responsive to Logic.
  
• Fixed Arc Furnace importing ore when output is blocked.

It’s been a month of deep end tech work focused on upgrades, refactors and performance – laying the foundations for an improved Stationeers experience across the board towards 1.0.

After two years, we’ve upgraded the engine version to take advantage of awesome new Unity 2021 features. There’s big performance gains, too, plus rendering and network stability improvements, and a new debug console – critical groundwork for wow to come.

So we’re light on content this month, but giving some much-needed love to our codebase means our players will starting feeling the difference.


At long last, we’ve upgraded to Unity 2021, bringing a raft of new tools and opportunities, from performance and profiling to fancy blinking lights. Of course, in the short term, shifting engine version required a lot of fixes and tweaks, but we're already seeing payoffs, and it sets the stage for much more in future.


This update sees the first of many heavy duty performance pushes going live, with adjustments to our update manager seeing up to 30% gains on large bases.

We’re also changing the way we render objects in game – consolidating materials into a single, more efficient material and reducing the number of renderers. It's a system we’ll be extending over the coming months to further boost performance.


While we were poking around, we began moving away from Unity’s deprecated networking system. Our aim: provide a much improved networking experience, stability and performance in multiplayer. As a first step, we've refactored joining and have seen serious efficiency gains.

This is a big move, and one we’re spreading over several updates - watch this space, as we extend this refactor to the live game.


With a new IMGUI-based in-game console, we’ve introduced a new debug system to help you understand what’s happening under the hood. Just press '/' to jump in.
Expect lots of debug tools in coming months!

Fixes

• Fixed (provisional) excess data being generated on client join to sync things. When a client was joining, the host was not generating the message to sync this to client efficiently. The approach from another game we are making (art of the rail) is very efficient, and we have begun porting this over. This takes the data we need to send and carefully packages a byte array, being very deliberate about how big each big of data needs to be. This is vastly more efficient. This data is then compressed, and sent to the client. Our testing indicates a massive difference, in many cases at 2 to 3 orders of magnitude (1000 -> 1). We have only improved a small fraction of this, as other areas can be ported to this system. It requires extensive testing, however.

Down here in the south of New Zealand, we spend a lot of time in forums, hearing your ideas and feedback. This month, we wanted to say a big KIA ORA (‘thank you’) to everyone who’s supported Stationeers over the last three years – delivering the most frequently requested new devices, items and additions.



For the atmospherics crowd there’s turbo pumps, valves and pipe heaters. For builders, there’s a suite of shuttered and reinforced windows. For explorers, there’s expanded tool belts, mining belts, mining charges. And for the diggers out there, check out the all-new, dirt destroying OGRE. Time to carve up your local planetoid.

We’re massively excited to see what people do with all this new kit, so which sort of Stationeer are you?


It's a big month for the team, too, as we enter an exciting phase of development with a new Tech Lead.

Simon Brown returns to the team after two years away, bringing big energy, ideas and leadership, as well as deep knowledge and levelled-up abilities. He'll be focused on overcoming technical challenges and refining the focus of Stationeers, as we steer towards 1.0 - so watch closely, there are surprises in store!


If you’ve ever wanted to strip every ounce of ore from a Stationeer world, the OGRE (Orthogonal Ground Rotating Excavator) is your new best friend.



Place it down, press the button, and slice your way through dirt, rock and rubble. You’ll end up with ore galore – and a potential new base location. It’s balanced around being an affordable, resource-rewarding device, so tell us what you think in our Discord.

We've also added a new basic mining charge, for fast, messy extraction of ore. Drop a bomb, and see what happens.




This update, serious base builders get a whole new toolset: reinforced windows that can withstand up to 1MPa pressure differentials. So there’s no reason your high pressure environment can’t also provide glorious views.

Likewise, we’ve added shuttered windows that let you control the light levels in your base – or just shut out the world for some ‘me’ time.




This month sees a big drop of long-awaited atmos’ functionality, with everything from passive one-way valves to high pressure pumps that let you shift gas and liquid FAST. Try them out on your gas and liquid stores, rocket fueling or build a super-swift airlock – just don’t forget to turn them off...

Plus there’s electric pipe heaters, new insulated pipes, and nature that can make a real difference to your atmosphere – check out the genetically engineered Darga Fern, which turns CO2 into O2 super fast, and that’s just the start...

We’re super-sizing our food and farming systems with automation, seeds, fertilizer, packaging and more – come see what’s cooking!




Hungry for content? It’s a feast this month, as we round out our food, farming and automation systems with a heap of new processing equipment, recipes and growing mechanics. It’s a big step towards 1.0, as we tie a bow around everything consumable.

Get planting with seeds, while mastering fertilizer production to boost your crops. Automate your kitchen for higher nutrition, before packaging everything up to fight decay. Then sell it all to the Trader from our fancy new refrigerated, stacking vending machine...

Whatcha waiting for, Cadet? Let’s go!


We wanted to build fun, flexible systems to help players survive and thrive after last month’s food decay additions – now you start on most worlds with seeds, so you’ll always have a way to get your hydroponics going. Not to mention harvesting seeds from the plants themselves.



We’ve added a fertilizer system, too, that boosts plant production in different ways depending on how you make it ... *checks Stationpedia* … as well as providing a loop for food that’s past its best-by date. It's a system that rewards experimentation.



The advanced composter also chains up to recyclers, centrifuges and more, ensuring there's always avenues for smart construction to seriously boost your harvest ...




With our recent focus on thirst, decay and farming, we’re building out the food side of Stationeers: so of course, we HAD to automate cooking. Try building a starfield-to-fork production line with a Harvie, the advanced oven, then hook it up to a packaging machine to make sure you’ve always got enough food to get on with … everything else.

The ODA approves.



Then, once you get it all lined up, sell it to your local Trader using an integrated stacker-fridge-vending machine, and take your place in the interplanetary economy - or be stuck doing it the hard way forever.



So join us, and let's grow together.

Stationeers. We all know it’s a special kind of survival game. And for the longest time, we’ve wanted to deepen that experience with food perishability mechanics – and at last we have.

There’s a range of new fridges to keep things fresh and, by popular request, we’ve added a suite of heat exchangers to the game... plus new rocket modules for collecting and storing gas, as well as (believe it or not) a complete modular synthesizer, a basic logic tutorial to get your automation game going, and lots more.

So whether you're a seasoned Stationeer, or a new recruit, come see what’s new!


It’s been on our Wishlist for a long, long time: perishable food. And at last, we decided the time was right – to go bad.

All food now perishes, depending on what type of food it is, how hot or cold the atmosphere around it is, and what gases are present.

It’s a new system, so we’re starting out slow. But as we deepen the system and add supporting content in updates to come, we’re going to be tying these mechanics to the core survival loop (fertilizer, anyone?).

We’re really, really excited about this one and where it’s going – so come have a play around, get acquainted with the in’s-and-out’s… and get your bases ready for some entropy fun to come.




Anyone familiar with our atmospherics system knows this is a game changer: a passive heat exchange system that’s less magical, more practical – and easily adapted to whatever crazy thing you’re trying to accomplish in our universe.

Enjoy.




As we’ve been looking at our new player experience, it’s become obvious that an introductory logic tutorial was much needed. So we’ve put together something simple, that we hope provides new players with a springboard into some of our more complicated systems.

There’s a world of automation, IC and control waiting for you – so give it a whirl, and dive into some deeper Stationeers device-wrangling.


Many moons ago, our audio programmer observed that the Stationeers logic system would be perfect for creating a modular synthesizer. Since then, we’ve been tapping away in spare moments. And now we’re proud to present to a fully working step sequencer, for creating epic sunrise sonatas, dope disco beats, or whatever.



Why?

Because we could! And we loved the idea. And what could be more ‘Stationeers’ than having to create your own soundtrack?



Until next time, Vibeoneeers.

Over the last month, the Stationeers team has been hard at work, extending the modular rocket system – and now we’re super excited to present the first installment of our new automated rocket modules (A.R.M).




Like the name suggests, A.R.M.s let you reach out into space – building and launching pre-programmed, uncrewed rockets to retrieve all manner of resources from local planets and asteroids.

You want ore? Send up an ore mining rocket!

You want ice? Dispatch the ice miner!

You want… random stuff? Launch a salvage unit!



We’re leaning into the logic and IC systems on this one, so you’ll need to keep your Stationpedia on alert, check out the wiki, the workshop for IC hints, and if you’re not already part of the community, jump into our Discord where you’ll find a heap of knowledge and help.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2426269913&tscn=1615921063



This is a new system, and one we’ll be adding to over time (energy gathering modules, anyone?). So we’re conscious there’ll be some *unexpectedness*. But this functionality is important to late game experience, and key to our designs for v1.0.


It’s for the community, too – we’ll never gate content like this behind DLC. But if you want to support development through buying existing DLC - we'd seriously appreciate it. We made this DLC as a way for our most passionate community members to support development; check them out below!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1038500/Stationeers_HEM_Droid_Species_Pack/

As always, we love feedback, comments and bug reports!

Next up...


Last update, we introduced a division between liquids and gases to Stationeers. Under the hood, we still manage the two states in a similar way, but we’re looking to evolve state change further in the future.

In the meantime, we added some new toys to the system: look for liquid pipe meters, a digital valve, adjustments to the water bottle filler and a drain to get rid of any unwanted liquid.

The team also discussed introducing a liquid variant of the air conditioner, but have opted - at long last - for creating heat exchangers: coming to a Stationeers update soon…




This month saw us talking lots with the community about how to upgrade and improve the Stationpedia in #stationpedia-discussions. Thanks to everyone who’s made edits and suggestions so far. We’ve already incorporated a bunch of them, and will be doing another concerted push on Stationpedia functionality shortly…

Keep those ideas coming!


Continuing with our focus on new player experience, this update we’re releasing a gas mixing tutorial, as well as improvements to our food and hydration tutorial. We’re aiming to provide players with a solid foundation in all the game’s basic systems – and we’re on track.

So tell us what you think – we’d love to hear!



Developing our tutorial design has also involved creating a range of easily moddable triggers and events - and we wanted to show them off. So we created a new scenario to showcase how simple it is for the community to create their own content using tutorial systems.

It’s called Borznac’s Kitchen. It’s a Stationeers hot take on a cooking game, so it’s hard, but really, it’s designed to inspire you to create your own scenarios.




The sonic experience of Stationeers continues with the - frankly - rather special audio design around the A.R.M. launch and landing. Our sound designer had fun on this one. Listen for the sonic boom on re-entry.

Until next time, Cadets. Up up and away!




Code

• Added Lost in Space state to the rocket for when it runs out of fuel.
  
• Added Scanning for CollectableGoods Logic variable on the Automated Rocket.
  
• Changed Automated Rocket now uses "Mode" Variable instead of "RocketMode" Variable for reading current Rocket State.
  
• Deprecated RocketMode as it has been moved to using Mode.
  
• Changed Venus's temperature to be constant throughout the day/night cycle. This will affect new worlds, but not old saves.
  
• Added Timer Panel to scene for tutorials and Scenarios.
  
• Added Event Action to start Timer Events.
  
• Updated Mission ending panel to support scenarios.

Over the last four weeks, the Stationeers crew has been cranking the wheels and whirling the levers on two long-awaited systems: liquid water and hydration, and we’re super excited to reveal what we’ve done, and where it’s all going...



This update sees a big content drop, too, with two new tutorials, a wind power generation system, a fresh set of pressure and temperature resistant tools, trader tweaks, a new planet (welcome to Venus, kids) plus a pile of audio improvements, bug fixes, tweaks and all-round improvements.

It’s been one of our biggest months yet, so come dive in!




We’ve been planning a liquid refactor for a long time: and separating out gas and liquids opens the door to lots more possibilities in the future!

The TL;DR: liquids can currently only exist in liquid pipe networks and devices. We’re going to be developing the system, but for now, note that water is deleted when outside the liquid system - it cannot exist in a world atmosphere.

We’ve also added a heap of new liquid-specific variants of gas devices (we’ve aimed to hit the essentials, with more to come), as well as new devices like the ice crusher for turning ices into liquids and gases, and reworkings of devices like the H2 Combustor and Electrolyzer to be more faithful to thermodynamics. We’ll be adding more as we progress, and if you’ve got any questions, head for the Stationpedia or jump into Discord with us.

We’re conscious it’ll switch up the game for a lot of people. So as we shift over, we’ve tried to make it as smooth as possible for you, but we know there’ll be some speed bumps. Thanks for bearing with us.




Stationeers’ survival mechanics have seen a bit of love recently, with storms and new planets, but we felt there was a real thirst for more. To quench this desire, we have added hydration to your characters. Much like hunger, your hydration progressively drops over time, with the rate depending on difficulty, heat and movement. Fact: a dehydrated character is not a happy character.

Alongside the hydration mechanic, you will now find water bottles in your starter kits! Use these wisely as they only hold a limited amount. Once emptied they can be refilled using the water bottle filling structure, which integrates with the new liquid system.

If you run out of breathable atmosphere, nutrition or hydration – expect to die. Quit dilly dallying and go find some ice!

(Note: hunger settings in the menu control both hydration and hunger systems)


As well as a host of liquid device variants (pipes, valves, canisters, tanks, connectors...), we’ve added a new suite of new tools for working in high-temperature environments, and shiny new tutorials for Alloy Smelting and Hydroponics.

Also, check out the big new wind turbines (spoiler: during storms, they make a LOT of power), take a walk on Venus (see below), and listen for the new efforts designed by our resident audio mastermind.




Community member SunRazor has been a force in our Discord for a long time. He’s also a passionate creator of realistic planets. With great generosity, he has contributed his version of Venus to the base game.

Venus is a harsh, hot, dry place. We’ll be watching community feedback carefully over the next month to see how players get on with it, and what suggestions they might have.



If you’ve got feedback, jump into Discord and talk to us about it.

Hey Stationeers,

After a "thank you" and double update at the end of 2020 for three years of incredible support, our CEO took a deep dive into the Discord zone, looking for ideas and suggestions to implement into the game... and wasn’t disappointed!



Our community had a wealth of tweaks and adjustments to suggest, as well as deep knowledge and design ideas around implementation. We had a lot of fun discussing and have now implemented them into the game!

So yes, we are always listening to you. That's why we're calling this The StationEARS update. ^_^

Highlights include:

• Reduced loading times
  
• A serious refactor of the reagent system’s performance
  
• Major balance changes to smelting both alloys and especially super alloys
  
• Hydroponics improvements (better feed those plants clean atmos, or else)
  
• IC commands for batch writing and saving
  
• New readable variables on atmospheric devices
  
• Fixes to atmospheric network updates
  
• Adjustments to repair
  
• Cost and recipe balances
  
• Power consumption standardization
  
• Cleaning out some legacy items, as well as Rcon fixes
  
• New content like advanced solar panels (storms can’t hurt ‘em)
  
• A bigger mining belt
  
• Improvements to the weather system
  
• and lots, lots more!

Important! There have been some major changes to smelting recipes. Check stationpedia in game (using F1) to find more about the new pressure and temperature requirements. Yields have also been lowered for Super Alloys, so you will need to smelt more to make the previous amounts.

This is yet another update to say THANK YOU, EVERYONE - as we push on towards v1.0

• Players can no longer duplicate Reagent Mixtures when merging stacks, whether this is done by devices (Recycler/Centrifuge) or by hand.
  
• Fixed JumpSuit Uniform not hiding the Credit Card when one is inside the slot.
  
• Fixed an issue with some languages not being updated.
  
• Fixed Advanced Furnace panel display showing on the incorrect built stage.
  
• Added Maximum Voltage information for cables, and max pressure limit for pipes to the Stationpedia.
  
• Fixed Gas canisters that are pre-filled now recycle into the same materials as empty gas canisters. Some of these canisters previously recycled into for significantly more materials.
  
• Fixed error when recycling gas canisters. Recycling gas canisters should now correctly output their contents into the world atmosphere, as well as no longer provide more resources than intended.
  
• Fixed StructureKlaxon new sounds not available when interacting with device directly.
  
• Fixed duct tape. Now able to repair renamable items again.
  
• Duct tape can now partially repair renamable items.
  
• Added New sounds to Klaxon Speaker. 5 New Looping Alarm sounds and 29 single-shot Voice lines.
  
• Rebalanced volume on existing alarm sounds on Klaxon Speaker.
  
• Updated world settings for all new tutorials. They now are set to survival and use the correct starting conditions.
  
• Added Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) which includes a small battery to the Default Starting Conditions. This will be included in the Lander on new Worlds excluding Loulan and Vulcan.
  
• Added Ore Scanner to the Default Starting Conditions. This will be included in the Lander on new Worlds excluding Loulan and Vulcan.
  
• Changed the maximum speed on the Spacepack from 8 Meters per second to 5.
  
• Fixed text appearing in the Stationpedia Descriptions when they were not supposed to.
  
• Changed the maximum speed on the Hardsuit Jetpack from 15 Meters per second to 8.
  
• Added Sounds to CrateMKII.
  
• Reduced and unified power consumption of logic devices. Most now only use 10W of power.
  
• Reduced explosive force applied to gas canisters. Still might be too high, but it is now 1/3 of what it was. The small gas canisters had a very high explosive force applied to them when they exploded.
  
• Added HaltAndCatchFire behaviour to IC Housing. Now ignites the atmosphere it is in, as well as applying a small explosive force.
  
• Fixed Electronics Parts had a smaller stack size than what is required to construct rocket parts.
  
• Fixed issue on beta branch where welder use was exponential. Each time you used the welder it used the entire amount it ever had the next time.
  
• Added built states to the advanced furnace.
  
• Balanced super alloys. Switched Primary resource in super alloys, away from Nickle and Cobalt to reduce resource stress on these already rare resources. Reduced yield from smelting super alloys so it now returns one unit for each complete smelting result (for example, 2 Steel, 1 Cobalt, and 1 Copper will now return only 1 Astroloy). Changed Iron to be Steel in the super alloy recipes. These changes are in line with our aim for these to be late game resources that are dangerous, require resources, and are difficult.
  
• Fixed welder was not using fuel beyond being turned on. Now it will use additional welding fuel above its idle use, whenever used on construction (and in future, repair).
  
• Improved occlusion in storms. Now culls structures that are beyond the fog's max distance when in a storm. Increases render performance when a storm is active.
  
• Fixed Rcon console responding with a permission denied message. the Rcon console will now accept commands after you login using the Rcon password.
  
• Fixed shutdown command. The server will now shutdown and close the application when shutdown is called.
  
• Fixed force-feeding of other players.
  
• Fixed completion rate of consumable items. You now have to fill up the interaction bar in order to consume items (pills, plants etc).
  
• Changed Taking damage or nutrition getting to 0% will cause player breathing to become distressed.
  
• Changed Increased the damage lungs can take before breathing becomes permanently strained (note: heal pill will fix damaged lungs).
  
• Changed Reduced amount of wind noise when moving quickly through the air.
  
• Fixed broken PressureRegulator event not ticking off and causing an error when completed.
  
• Fixed Tutorial 11 - GasMixing and more tutorials reference ID's.
  
• Fixed broken reference IDs on old atmospherics tutorial that prevented stages from being completed.
  
• Added Advanced Mining Belt. Has five extra ore slots. Requires a Tier Two Tool manufactory and some alloys.
  
• Fixed Leg movement foley sounds not playing when jetpack equipped.
  
• Added prototype breathing sounds. Currently only active on Male Humans. Suit Breathing sound (AKA filter sound) has been temporarily disabled pending redesign.
  
• Fixed Wheat and Alien Mushroom were not set to type plant and therefore not recognized by Harvester devices.
  
• Decreased Solder's pressure requirements to be in line with other non high pressure alloys, based on feedback from the community. It now however must be made between 350 degrees and 550 degrees. Constantan has had its upper temperature limit removed, and now requires medium pressures(20,000kpa) to smelt. This is to give players a chance to learn about single variable smelting parameters, before moving onto the more complex smelting recipes of Invar, and even more dangerous Super alloys.
  
• Added Heavy Solar variants. The basic heavy solar kits (makes flat and angled solars) uses Invar. The fully articulated solars are made from kits that require Astroloy. These solars do NOT take damage during storms.
  
• Increased max power generated by wind turbine substantially (x10) to 5000W max, from the previous value of 500W.
  
• Added sounds to ChemistryStation.
  
• Optimized terrain generation behaviour to stop spawning terrain around most small things that are moving. This should alleviate the feeling of terrain not spawning while a storm is active.
  
• Tweaked DynamicThing (e.g. flare, duct tape etc) to now be destroyed if it falls off the world, except for DraggableThings (e.g. crates) and Entities.
  
• Added new model for Daylight Sensor.
  
• Added furnace now smelts it's contents before smelting itself. That means if you put, say, an ore belt in a furnace... all the ores will also get smelted. Previously they would just be deleted.
  
• Added Recycler now dumps gas contents of recycled content into the world, such as gas canisters and Ice.
  
• Added build state stationpedia images for Airlocks, Blast Doors, Doors, and Weather Station.
  
• Fixed ice would melt under far more circumstances than was intended.
  
• Add TotalMoles variable as logic readable on furnace and other atmospheric devices through logic system.
  
• Replaced Super Alloy models with a new model that looks more different to standard alloys, to help differentiate them more visually.
  
• Fixed atmosphere network updates completely broken on beta. Grid position was being sent as an int (large integer) but read as a short (small integer).
  
• Removed clamping from solar panel logic horizontal inputs. Both ratio and angle will now not be clamped for the Horizontal values. Vertical will continue to be clamped.
  
• Added lb and sb IC commmand support for Hardsuit and Aimee slots.
  
• Added Batch loading command to IC. Similar to the batch saving command that was added just before. See the logic functions for more information. Based on the logic batch reader, so you will need to provide the read mode (such as SUM, or AVERAGE).
  
• Added IC command for batch writing. Command "sb <prefabhash> <variable> <value>". The "Hash" you can see by finding the reference in Stationpedia, it's an integer number the game uses to reference that. It functions the same as the Batch Writer. This should mean batch writers will now be unnecessary when using IC's. Note that the hash can be a register or alias, just the same as any other integer is handled by the system. This allows you to vary the hash via IC code as well.
  
• Added toxins (pollutants or volatiles) in hydroponics water will cause damage to plants now.
  
• Increased damage caused to plants from toxins, both in the water or in the air. Now significantly more damage will occur per tick, scaling with the quantity of toxins in the atmosphere.
  
• Fixed shuttle landing pad autorotate could rotate it into impossible directions.
  
• Refactored Reagent network message system. This is a major change. The new system greatly reduces memory allocation and handling of reagent state changes in multiplayer, as the previous one was string based. This will lower the cost for a server to synchronize reagent state changes, as well as the cost for a client to deserialize this. It will be most noticable for improvements with bases that are constantly processing lots of reagent changes. This is a phase one improvement, additional optimizations are planned and this will help that. Additional to improving the cost of handling the message, the size of the messages related to reagents is now greatly reduced - improving network traffic for reagent state changes.
  
• Fixed erroneous blueprint change causing all things normally white to become neon green, and physics exceptions from trying to create things and blueprints.
  
• Added new Kit (Stairs) model in line with other furniture. The kit is also paintable now.
  
• Added new Kit (Locker) model in line with other furniture. The kit is also paintable now.
  
• Fixed values not being clamped for SolarPanel and SatelliteDish when received from logic system, causing weird animation issues. Now values are clamped based on maximums/minimums for that device.
  
• Fixed cables render distance was set inconsistently. Now all cables have the same render distance.
  
• Balanced Solar panel recipe costs. Made basic solar panel cheaper, but made the changeable solar panel require steel.
  
• Removed Kit (Benches). All the recipes existed on other kits, it was a legacy item.
  
• Reduced weather quality settings.
  
• Added able to repair any renamable item with Duct Tape, such as tools and gas canisters.
  
• Fixed recoverable exception caused by GameAudioSource null during coroutine. Now check object is still valid while progressing with occlusion.
  
• Fixed no steel sheets on vulcan start so can't complete the landing pad to begin trading. Added two steel sheets
  
• Balanced starting equipment. Removed the huge amount of canned food from crates and ensured two cans are in each players uniform. This allows starting food to scale well with varying amounts of players. Instead of the food in the crates, more organics of varying types are included to allow you to grow anything.

Without the distractions of having to run the studio I've been able to dust off my programmer legs and get a bunch of work done on Stationeers. Additionally, without people in the office I've been able to do some larger refactors that were hard when others are around, as I needed to change every file.



So here we are! A surprise update with quite a few changes, a few additions, and a lot of fixes.


I changed the models to much better materials, they look beautiful! I also changed their position so if you're using them for navigation or orientation, they will be in a different spot.


A whole bunch more information is now in the Stationpedia. Includes build state information, what things are used in, logic slot variable information, mode strings - and more!


Improved to be less wasteful and more consistent. Fixed a number of bugs with it. Additionally, there is now Charcoal that you can make using Biomass in a furnace. This burns quicker than Coal.


A number of changes supplied by one of our team here who plays a lot of Stationeers. These are pretty major, check out the stationpedia in game for more info, but briefly:

• All super alloy recipes have undergone significant rebalance to shift the alloy furnace use towards high pressure operation.
  
• Normalized many furnace temp and pressure limits to 99999, vs, i.e random temp ceilings of 5k.
  
• Increased minimum pressure requirements for most standard alloys.
  
• Raised steel temperature requirements from 600 to 900.
  
• Lowered electrum temperature from 700 to 600.
  
• Shrunk Constantan temperature range to between 1000-1300, instead of 1500
  
• Solder now has a very high pressure requirement, at 20000KPa
  
• Invar has its pressure range shifted up to between 18000KPa, and a upper temperature limit of 1500

Complete rebalance of the food system. Addition of a whole bunch of new food options, including canned food. Check out the stationpedia for information about these.

Harvie has been changed to be passive, the "face" is now a button to either plant/harvest, and you can control it through variables with the logic system.


Recipes have been changed and the step of processing many reagents has been removed. You can directly add the reagents to the chemistry station to make Heal pills.


Together with all the changes above, I also heavily changed the trade values. This is just the start, much more to come here.

• Fixed many loading exceptions for prefabs that were missing their transforms (rover, wreckage, cartridgeguide, cartridge tracker, and more).
  
• Fixed missing picture frame prefab references causing exceptions on game load.
  
• Fixed missing wreckage prefab references causing exceptions on game load.
  
• Added able to set Logic Dial via logic system, by writing to the Setting variable.
  
• Fixed exception when trying to use smartrotate (C key) with Hydroponics Device.
  
• Fixed Harvie causing exceptions when used with logic system. Was calling main thread commands on logic thread, now made thread safe.
  
• Refactored Chemistry Station. Now no longer have to make "packets" of reagents in the reagent mixer. Directly use relevant resources on the Chemistry station.
  
• Balanced Chemistry recipes to work with current plant reagent values. For example, a stun pill is made from 10 ferns and 4 units of carbon.
  
• Fixed Stationpedia was displaying Resources that technically could be used on the thing, but didn't have an actual recipe. Now only shows resources used with a device that a recipe exists for.
  
• Fixed Stationpedia not correctly displayed "Used In" Catergory for items. This category tells you broadly what something is used for, for example charcoal can be used in the solid fuel generator or the chemistry station.
  
• Added build state to Shuttle Landing Pad. Use Welder and two steel to complete the landing pad.
  
• Added build state information to stationpedia. Shows a visual of the build state, and what tools/resources are required for construction. Currently does not include deconstruction.
  
• Disabled "pinging" object using middle mouse button. Defeated the purpose of trackers, subject to spam, looked bad, and was bad not well optimized.
  
• Fixed Shuttle Landing Pad placement. Was using small grid, now fixed to large grid. Also now checks for a frame below. Added smart rotate placement options (finding connections by pressing C).
  
• Rebalanced Alloys and Super Alloys. All super alloy recipes have undergone significant rebalance to shift the alloy furnace use towards high pressure operation. Normalized many furnace temp and pressure limits to 99999, vs, i.e random temp ceilings of 5k. Increased minimum pressure requirements for most standard alloys. Raised steel temperature requirements from 600 to 900. Lowered electrum temperature from 700 to 600. Shrunk Constantan temperature range to between 1000-1300, instead of 1500. Solder now has a very high pressure requirement, at 20000KPa. Invar has its pressure range shifted up to between 18000KPa, and a upper temperature limit of 1500.
  
• Fixed chute resource exploit. Hydralyic pipe bender produced it at only 1 Iron, and it returned for greater amount that cost to make in the recycler. Now unified the recipe costr.
  
• Moved Empty Can manufacture from toolmanufacturer to autolathe.
  
• Replaced Organic Material with Biomass. All plants placed into the recycler will produce biomass, which when burned in the furnace at lower temperatures, produce Charcoal which can be used in the solid fuel generator.
  
• Added stationpedia descriptions for trading structures, to better explain how to setup contact with a trader.
  
• Added Charcoal. Made from organic products put into a furnace at relatively low temperatures. Poor burning in the solid fuel generator, but better than nothing if needed.
  
• Removed organic matter as method of mushroom creation as was too convoluted.
  
• Changed Horizontal and Vertical variables for Daylight sensor to be local, as SolarAngle is.
  
• Added Resource Used lists to Microwave, Chemistry Station, and Paint Mixers in Stationpedia. Back references added for all their ingredients.
  
• Fixed canned food had incorrect bounds offset, resulting in weird placement in chutes.
  
• Fixed trade values for food were not applying player trade penalty. Now plants are substantially more expensive to buy than to sell, because plants can be grown into other things. Once processed (say into canned food), they hold their value much better.
  
• Balanced trade values for many things. Such as ensured that empty filters are worthless when trading. SuperAlloy components are very expensive.
  
• Added Used By Stationpedia section. Resources can now give a reference to what they are used in, such as Coal ore pages providing links to the Solid Generator.
  
• Refactored Solid Fuel Generator operation to provide constant power and not stop each tick.
  
• Added Resources used to the Stationpedia, loaded for Solid Generator and Reagent processor currently.
  
• Moved Powered Bench from furniture kit to Table kit, as people were often struggling to find it.
  
• Added additional energy cost for filtration machine. Now it uses between 0 and 100W depending on how much gas is being pumped through the filter.
  
• Changed default hunger rate from 25% to 50%
  
• Balanced starting equipment. Replaced Flowers in starting crates with canned food to ease starting pressure of hunger requirements. Replaced some of the starting cereal bars with canned food.
  
• Fixed electronic printer mod was stuck on Tier 2 when it should be tier 1, as the first mod upgrade you need to make.
  
• Fixed tutorial button causes null reference when clicking it without selecting a tutorial. Now it will by default select the first tutorial, and if no tutorials are found the button will be non-interactable.
  
• Removed obsolete loading routines that caused much of the game data to be loaded from disk several times during application initialization. This should reduce load times fairly significantly on game start.
  
• Fixed unable to remove cables or interact with plants.
  
• Refactored handling of game prefab loading. Was previously using an expensive and depreciated way to load game data. First pass of changing this to precache all prefabs. This will allow better options for caching and reducing loading times, as well as performance when creating items during a game.
  
• Removed shadowcasting from cables, to assist with performance.
  
• Refactored light caching to be done during prefab load, and then reused when cloning of prefab. Giving a small performance bonus during load and game creation. Proof of concept to reduce awake initialization in future.
  
• Updated Saturn in Mimas map with better material, fixed planet shadow so ring is correctly shadowed, repositioned to not conflict with solar orbit.
  
• Updated Jupiter in Europa map with better material, repositioned to not conflict with solar orbit.
  
• Added TerrainLod versus distance occlusion for some objects. Large objects, such as wall frames, the Satellite Dish, and some cladding will be rendered to a maximum distance of the terrain lod. Everything else will be occluded either at their render distance settings, or not at all if the chunk has not been loaded yet.
  
• Added TerrainLod now does not "cut out" below you unless there is a chunk below you. This means that when you are flying along, you will no longer see blank world.
  
• Refactored how things handle updates required per frame. Will provide some performance benefits to those with large bases. This relates to how the game engine handles scripts that need updates every frame. This is now handled collectively.
  
• Balanced Wall Heater/Cooler. Now use roughly same basic equations for calculating power used. Both have a minimum power cost (10W), and then both also take out how much power they used during the tick (up to 1000W, depending on efficiency for Cooler) and draw from the network. This means both devices use more power depending on what they have done during a tick.
  
• Fixed rendering distance for things. Old implementation was broken by a settings change. Temporary fix is to require the chunk to be rendered, as well as the things render distance settings. This means things will not be rendered unless their chunk is.
  
• Added Combustion Logic variable to some devices, such as gas sensor, pipe analyser, tanks with data connections, furnaces. Returns 1 if atmosphere is on fire, and 0 if not.
  
• Added allowing of mounting of devices to window pieces.
  
• Added cables can cross through straight and corner chutes. Window and device chutes still cannot be crossed. Some chute kits now require more kit pieces to construct.
  
• Balanced various recipes in autolathe, electronics, pipe bender, and tool printers. Moved all "mods" for upgrading the printers to the electronics printer. Require the use of super alloys for the hardsuit items.
  
• Increased eat speed for canned goods dramatically.
  
• Fixed plants would often say they did not have sunlight in their status messages when they did. Now correctly reports health state in status message.
  
• Removed conveyor kit from autolathe as it is depreciated. Not working well, causing bugs and due to the open nature of the conveyor it causes physics performance issues. Chutes are a far superior alternative for the player currently.
  
• Added Hydroponics Device. This is the Hydroponics Tray, but classed as a device and with a wire connection. This will mix atmospheres between both it's pipe inputs (for water), and make its slot data available to the network. Works with the Harvie. Note that you cannot place these sequentially, like with the normal tray. They must have a pipe between them.
  
• Refactored how Harvie (auto planting device) works with Hydroponics tray. The import slot now works as either a trigger, interactable slot, or feeding with a chute. You have to manually activate the Harvie for planting/harvesting. If you press "activate" on the device, then it will try to plant if the tray below is empty. If it is not empty, it will try to harvest. Anything received will be placed into the Export slot. You can use the Logic Harvest and Plant commands to activate the machine, if you want to do this automatically.
  
• Fixed jetpacks were not using gas when stabilizing.
  
• Fixed hard jetpack was using substantially more moles than it should have been. Now very slightly more efficient than the basic jetpack.
  
• Added Stationpedia now reports LogicSlotType for things. This is useful for using the logic system with slot readers.
  
• Added Logic Mode data to stationpedia. Now ModeStrings and values will be shown, where known. This is very useful for reference when programming devices using mode with logic systems.
  
• Increased repair speed substantially for damaged solars when using Duct Tape.
  
• Added Mushrooms are damaged when in sunlight, they must be in darkness or they will take damage. More sunlight will mean more damage.
  
• Fixed Harvie missing thumbnail images.
  
• Increased Fern harvest yield from two to four.
  
• Changed Insulated pipes recipe to use Steel and Silica instead of only Silica, as it's intention is not to be used as an early game pipe.
  
• Removed solar panel occasionally going back a build state during a storm. While a cool mechanic, the created glass panel was flying across the map. Instead relying directly on damage to the solars.
  
• Increased regularity of damage to solars during a storm, however the actual damage is much lower.
  
• Increase Jetpack gas usage as you barely ever needed to add more gas.
  
• Added headlamp automatically turning off when added to a structures inventory, such as suit storage.
  
• Fixed Jetpack Basic accidentally set as Tier Two item.
  
• Fixed stationpedia was only displaying one recipe per creator, meaning you would not know of alternate ways of making things.
  
• Fixed Air Tank low warning displaying out of range number. Now based on mole count remaining compared to breathing rate.
  
• Removed food from organics printer, as this was only intended for debug purposes.
  
• Moved Shelf construction to Locker Kit, as it makes more sense it is with a storage kit.
  
• Changed Rover to require much more steel to construct.
  
• Changed autominer to require more resources to construct.
  
• Added ability to deconstruct the Elevator Carriage using a Drill.
  
• Fixed Wheat and Soybeans not providing Organic Material when placed in Centrifuge.
  
• Fixed planted items show briefly before turning into their first growth stage. Now correctly invisible till they grow, which is usually only a single tick - but only happens if growth requirements met.
  
• Changed Mushrooms to consume Oxygen and output Carbon Dioxide, as real fungi does.
  
• Increased tomatoes required to make Tomato Soup (from 5 to 10) to better balance with nutrition and yield amounts for Tomatoes.
  
• Changed Empty Can to stackable. Now empty cans can be stacked into up lots of ten.
  
• Increased weather event minimum (60s to 120s) and maximum (5min to 10min) lengths.
  
• Decreased weather damage per tick for dynamic items.
  
• Added Damaged Solar Panels can be repaired with DuctTape.
  
• Added Horizontal and Vertical outputs to Daylight Sensor. Note: -y is inverted for this, so you will not need to flip for solar settings. Existing functionality is currently not changed for the daylight sensor, and SolarAngle will respond to Mode changes as before. But it is recommended new solar setups be built using Horizontal and Vertical variables directly off the Daylight Sensor.
  
• Fixed Corn reagent missing from tradeables, so traders wouldn't assign value to corn.
  
• Added Bread Loaf made from flour and Soy Oil.
  
• Added Corn Soup, made from corn and an empty can.
  
• Added canned food returns an empty can that can be reused.
  
• Fixed Soy Oil and Milk causing floating errors, preventing the creation of some recipes such as Fries.
  
• Added Bread Loaf, made from Flour and Oil, in the microwave.
  
• Fixed Corn Reagent missing, preventing corn based recipes from being made.
  
• Changed Tomato Soup to require an Empty Can (Steel) to make
  
• Added Empty Can as a craftable item on the autolathe.
  
• Added Pumpkin Soup made from Pumpkin and an Empty Can.
  
• Reduced energy usage of Headlamp
  
• Increased CO2 output of smelting/using Coal Ore
  
• Fixed Portable Air Conditioner would vent its gases externally when wrenched to tank connector. Now turns itself off when wrenched down, allowing its gas to be fed into the connector.
  
• Fixed Jetpack Basic recipe was missing from Tool Manufacury.
  
• Fixed elevator carrage was being destroyed during storms. Now takes no damage during storms.
  
• Fixed advanced gas tanks were using wrench for deconstruct. As this was also used for wrenching down, it meant you could accidentally deconstruct it while trying to wrench down and off. Now uses Drill like other items to deconstruct.
  
• Fixed gas tanks were using wrench for deconstruct. As this was also used for wrenching down, it meant you could accidentally deconstruct it while trying to wrench down and off. Now uses Drill like other items to deconstruct.
  
• Fixed Crate and Crate MkII were using wrench for deconstruct. As this was also used for wrenching down, it meant you could accidentally deconstruct it while trying to wrench down and off. Now uses Drill like other items to deconstruct.
  
• Fixed tier item settings missing for many items. Now items will require their correct tier device to build. NOTE: this doesn't currently show in stationpedia, an update shortly will fix this.
