This Issue has now been resolved.

Thank you all for the excellent response, feedback, and helping us work the issue.

We really appreciate the Stationeers community!

Due to a critical issue we've had to roll this patch back.

Not everyone was experiencing this issue but enough that it justifies rolling back until we can resolve the problem.

This update is still available on the Beta branch.

If you have been playing on Default and have any of the new items(any of the 3 new plants or the Icarus suit) then you will need to switch to beta.

The update will be available on Default branch as soon as we have a solution.

Until now our pipeline for creating new prefabs, things in the game, was very Unity dependant. This process has largely stayed the same since the beginning of the project, and while it does allow us to add new things to the game quickly it does not follow the data driven mindset that we now follow.

We've taken a small subset of prefabs, plants and moved them to be defined entirely in XML. This means that to add a new plant we simply create a new custom plant in our game data XML. This data points to the relevant meshes and textures that are loaded at run time, instead of build time.

A few extra tools have been included with the game to help generate the blueprints and thumbnails required.

We would like to roll this out to all kinds of things the game but have started with something smaller to prove the concept. Being able to define completely new devices purely from XML would be the ultimate goal but we will see how this goes before making any decisions.

---

We've also added 3 new fruit plants to help test the new system. When consumed these new plants will have a positive effect on your mood, but they are not currently used in any recipes, they will be later when we do a food update.

The new plants are Strawberry, Blueberry, and Watermelon.

• First pass on moving plant life requirements to xml.
  
• Added Scripts and models for future content.
  
• Fixed Multigrid structures not registering to every cell they block.
  
• Fixed Global Atmosphere mix calculation issue in previous commit (rev.23875)
  
• Added Prototype Global Liquid Renderer. Very large quantities of Liquids in the global atmosphere will now be rendered via a liquid plane.
  
• Added strawberry xml plant example.
  
• Added first pass on importing plants from xml. Meshes, textures and plant stages can be defined in xml and will be imported at runtime. Blueprints can also be created but for now, the wireframe edges will have to be manually entered into the xml. Later on we plan to make this automatic or add a tool to export edges for custom meshes.

• Fixed items in input slots being invisible in tier one manufacturing machines
  
• Fixed some manufacturing machines / printers only allowing ingots in their input slots. It is intended for them to be able to get blocked up if you poorly manage your manufacturing
  
• Added plant meshes and textures to streaming assets.
  
• Removed a few empty directories.
  
• Updated SeedBag template material with new normal and spec textures.

• Moved water usage, breathed gases and toxic gases for plants into the liferequiements xml.
  
• Fixed normals for plant meshes.
  
• Changed Updated stationpedia to show in-world volume of each Liquid type.

This will solve pressure anomalies and run-away phase change effects that were happening to players condensing cryogenic liquids in world grids. Under the old fixed multiplier of 50x some condensed Gasses would take up more volume once in liquid form which would spike the pressure causing a feedback loop of Condensation phaseChange.

This was causing frame-time degradation and occasional frame-time spikes due to garbage collection. Users who were experiencing this issue may find it takes a few minutes for the performance issue to resolve upon loading the game as the erroneously created atmosphere-grids will have been serialized and will take several minutes to clean-up.

A system to allow liquids to interact with devices has now been added that will mean that some devices will now have an adverse reaction to being submerged in water. Devices currently behave in one of two ways when in contact with liquids, they will either fry the attached cable or enter into an error state.

Manufacturing machines will enter an error state when in contact with liquids, and Area Power Controllers, Transformers and Station Batteries will blow the cables directly connected to them.

Before a device's cable blows you will be given some time visual and audio cues.



Currently the list of devices affected in this way is pretty short, but more interactions may be added later now that we have the system in place.

---

The liquid visualizer had a lot of literal edge cases where it would not look that good, for example the liquid could clip through some configurations of walls and windows, as well as being hidden under flooring.



This is no longer the case as we are doing a simple check to see what configuration of walls is around the liquid visualizer and shift it as necessary.

Additionally, the screen space affect that you see when you're underwater would stop working if you left a game and started a new one, but this has now been resolved.

---

A quick addition to the buoyancy system has allowed us to select some objects to not be buoyant. Again, we've just picked a select few items to enable this on and will add others as we see fit.
The current list of things that will sink are ores, ingots, and crates.

---

To prevent a small film of liquid spreading through your entire base we made the decision to have small "pools" of water not spread at all. The result of this was that it was easy to end up with lots of small pools around your base that were hard to collect. We've done two things to help with this:

Floor Drains will now collect liquid from a 6-grid radius allowing you to have fewer floor drains to handle spilled liquids.



The Liquid Vac is much more powerful now cleaning up liquids 50 times faster. This, combined with being able to see the small pools on top of flooring, should allow you to quickly clean up any pools of liquid.

• Fixed BatteryChargerSmall not being able to be connected to logic
  
• Changed SpaceOreStackSize from const to static for modding purposes
  
• Fixed Mars was getting too cold at night during its Solar apo-apse.
  
• Changed Global Atmosphere now has a fixed volume and its state is serialised in the save data.
  
• Changed Reworked how the global atmosphere is created and simulated. Phase-change can now occur in the global gas mixture. Gasses will now freeze into "icecaps" or condense into "ocean". Currently this simulation is not exposed to the player. We will be investigating ways of surfacing phase changes in the global atmosphere to the player in future updates via storms and or other visualisers.
  
• Fixed launch mount kit being invisible
  
• Updated Some future asset blockouts.
  
• Moved Methods form PoweredVentMultiGrid into a static library so they can more easily be used by other classes.
  
• Fixed some build issues due to imgui

• Fixed Passive Liquid Inlet not draining liquid from neighbouring grids when its grid was empty of liquid.
  
• Increased Speed of Liquid Vacuum.
  
• Added ISubmergedHandler to allow devices to have special behaviour when submerged. Currently, manufacturing machines will error when underwater and transformers and apc's will blow their cables.
  
• Added Prototype Extendable structure for testing.
  
• Fixed placement issue with structure Extension prototype.
  
• Added boolean value for buoyancy so that non-buoyant dynamicThings sink but not as fast as falling
  
• Fixed Flickering liquid blocks when liquid was falling.
  
• Fixed Underwater effect would not play upon loading into a game for the 2nd time.
  
• Removed Min liquid height clamping. (previous band-aid fix for liquid hidden inside floors).
  
• Fixed Liquid would sometimes be "hidden" underneath floors, it is now offset to the correct height so it sits on the floor.
  
• Fixed Liquid Visualiser Z-fighting and clipping through walls that were placed on an internal face of a grid.
  
• Optimised Liquid Rendering Update loop. Render batches are now calculated and prepared on the gameTick thread using a double-buffer approach. This avoids blocking the main game thread with a costly iteration of all atmospheres and a needless recalculation of the water meshes every frame.
  
• Fixed Liquid Vacuum and Liquid inlet not considering in-world liquid volume when performing their liquid movement logic.
  
• Fixed Liquid Visualiser Prep running in batch mode.
  
• Fixed Manufacturing machines would still build when in error state.
  
• Changed SubmergedHandler system to instead be handled case by case on device in the power tick. Made input and output cables on transformers, batteries and apcs burnout when the input/output port itself is under water rather than the entire device.
  
• Updated IsSubmerged to use the render threshold rather than zero for minimum atmosphere volume checks.
  
• Added 100ms update and 1000ms update to Thing. These are opt in slow ticks for main thread game logic. (i.e audio, fx)
  
• Added Spark effect and sounds to Apcs and transformers that are submerged in liquid.
  
• Refactored some duplicate code from battery, apc and transformer into ElectricalInputOutput.
  
• Added submerged effects to station battery.
  
• Refactored ISubmergeable functionality to bring it more in line with project standards.

Stationeers now has in world liquid simulations. Because of the phase change update, liquids became a major part of the game. They were allowed to exist in the world, but they were represented by a foggy steam effect, and they moved around in all dimensions just like a gas. The motivation behind adding realistic fluid movement is an expectation that the game created for itself. Stationeers has the best atmospheric simulation in gaming, and the game deserves to have fluid simulations accompanying it.

---

Liquids now flow horizontally and preferentially pool downwards. Lower areas of your base will be prone to flooding when liquid pipes unexpectedly break, or conditions for phase change causes gas to condense around you. Fluids in world have an exaggerated volume, to allow for meaningful interactions with in world liquids to happen. It turns out, it is difficult to collect enough ices to create thousands of litres of water while on a barren lifeless world.



Stationeer's atmospherics operate as 2m*2m*2m cubes that update every half second. This presents limitations in terms of first person fidelity, and propagation speed. For liquids, we wanted to make sure they felt fluid enough to not feel too gamey. We got around many of the issues with grid based spread and flow by utilizing a new physics based solver.



We use a series of CPU driven particles to represent and test paths that fluids want to take. These Physics solver balls allow liquids to drop down ledges, or get sprayed out diagonally, to allow fluids to move multiple squares at a time, all without the same limitations as our .5s tick grid atmospheres. We'll also soon be utilizing this system to better implement smaller liquid interactions such as pipe bursts, sprinklers and ice melting.

---

All this time, we've been saying liquids instead of water, and thats on purpose. All gasses in Stationeers can condense into liquids. Other fluids such as Liquid oxygen and liquid volatiles all look different in world. Unlike other games, we even allow separate fluids to mix and we accurately blend their colors together to really inform you of the disaster that may be mixing underneath you.



We've also worked significantly on creating effects that make liquids look cool while still matching Stationeer's scale and style. Water spreading has droplets that represent the physics solver fluid simulations. When water is spreading throughout already connected tiles, we analyse the volume, displacement and directional mixing ratios to create flow effects on the surface of the water to represent its movement direction and rate.

---

All dynamic things except for entities, such as players and chickens, are buoyant. In the future we might expand this system to have things have different buoyancy or make some objects not be buoyant at all but during this first pass everything behaves the same.

---

Representing fluids is important in of itself, but there are more game play systems we want to tie into. Vents are currently examples of devices that are aware of the surface level of the water, and will only start mixing with liquids when submerged, as opposed to interacting with the whole grid as normal. In the future we'll be making more devices interact with the fluids specially; such as APCs, transformers, and Batteries shorting out.



Fluids do currently interact with terrain. However, there are lots of edge cases that might cause water loss, or unexpected behavior. Once the new terrain system is done, we'll revisit how liquids interact with voxels, and potential performance improvements. This could eventually lead to us supporting larger liquid structures such as lakes, or weather effects that reflect global condensation like rain.


Because liquids dont behave like gasses, small puddles often are left behind when draining areas. We've added the liquid vac as a way to allow players to manually interact with in world water. It has two modes, inwards, and outwards, so you can manually relocate water to another place in the world. We originally had it operate with liquid canisters that could be interchanged, the balance of canister sizes for other gameplay reasons prevented it from being super useful. In the future we plan at looking at a more solutions, such as a being able to attach to a dynamic canister, and having a gas vac variant as well.



While testing fluids flooding many of our bases, we kept wanting something that felt like a horizontal version of the manual hatch door. So we've added one so you can unwittingly spin the hatch wheel and dump a flood of water on yourself.

This hotfix includes fixes for two critical issues.

The first was a fix for some modded worlds having an empty global atmosphere caused by a change in the data that is not yet reflected in mods. If this invalid data is detected in mods, the mod will simply not be loaded.

The second was a localization issue that was preventing the game from launching for some languages.

We frequently get asked by the community how they can further support the development of Stationeers. We've decided to add three superficial Support the Developer DLCs. We picked bobble heads as the simple "thank you" item to our players who want to further support our team. These 3 figurines can be mounted to appliance benches. and do nothing... except wobble after bopping their heads when you walk past.

We've added a new type of passive vent with a built-in valve. Not only does this cut down slightly on complexity of a common use case of valves and passive vents, but it also means that when you close the valve the network is truly isolated at the passive vent instead of the isolation happening within closed pipes. We dont normally combine device functionality, but this singular mash up was requested enough, and provides solid utility to justify its existence.

There is a new Steam Branch is called 'preterrain - pre-terrain rework update'.

We have some big new changes coming to Stationeers' terrain and atmospheric systems. This work does mean that there will be disruption to saves and mods. This branch exists to allow people to go back to play older saves.

Some mods will be broken with this update due to some low-level data changes that, in the long run, will improve authoring of worlds both for us and modders alike. Saves on un-modded worlds should be un-affected for now, however it is likely that some save may break in the future.

Please be patient with us as we work on these new systems. Once we're done there will be a much greater range of cool stuff we can do with worlds.

• Fixed chemistry station sliding drawer being on the wrong layer.
  
• Fixed inverse kinematics being applied to offline players. This was the reason for players looking in weird directions when offline
  
• Fixed cargo larry could take growing plants out of trays. Restricted cargo larry from interacting with plant slots.
  
• Fixed fire extinguisher triggering when picking it up out of a locker. This will also stop tools triggering when holding them in your active hand and clicking on an interactable.
  
• Changed Mars World setting to use new GlobalAtmosphereData format for global Temperature and composition.
  
• Added new WIP WorldSetting Imgui window for testing changes to global temperature curve and global composition in real time.
  
• Changed Authoring format for Global Atmosphere Composition and Temperature in WorldSetting. The previous version will remain compatible for now. This is being done to provide a framework for other gameplay elements to easily impact global temperature. (notably Solar Radiation variance over the year)
  
• Added prototype Block out meshes for future content.

After initially making LArRE we received lots of requests and ideas from the community for extra functionality. Originally, we kept LArRE's scope and capabilities limited, so we could prototype properly in a quick and maintainable manner. Now, with all the positive feedback, instead of making one complicated device that does everything we decided to split these functions up into specialized versions. There are four new arms that replace the existing one.

Each arm is constructed by placing the corresponding dock. The new docks differ from the old LArRE arm in that arms can move off the rail into the dock, allowing other arms constructed on the same rail and move freely past.

---

The cargo arm is made to interact with slots of devices and structures and is useful for things like changing filters, pulling items from lockers, and other slot-based tasks.

A key thing to note with the cargo arm is the concept of the target slot. This is a special slot targets a slot on the target structure and will be what the item that is picked up when the arm is activated. The target slot can be set by a dial on the dock, or by logic.

The collector arm acts as a vacuum cleaner when set to inwards, sucking up loose nearby items, and when set to outward will eject the items.

The hydroponics arm can plant and harvest plants as well as place fertiliser into plant trays. It has an additional hopper slot which will feed items into the 'hand' slot when the hand slot is empty. Harvesting a different plant while the hand slot is full will be possible if the hopper slot is empty. The full behaviour of these two slots is described in the Stationpedia.

The atmospherics arm has a storage canister and can pump gas in or out. It has a filter slot so you can selectively extract gasses from a space.

When activated over a passive vent it will 'dock' with the passive vent and pump in or out of it, depending on the mode of the arm is in.

The bypass dock does not have an arm associated with it but allows for any arm to move off the main rail to allow other arms to move past.

---

LArRE rails can now operate in all axis. This means arms can travel on walls facing sideways, and on floors facing upwards, etc. Several new pieces such as inner and outer corners, and quarter corkscrew pieces allow a full range of mobility.

Rail network logic also has some new rules. Multiple docks can be built on a single linear rail, to allow multipurpose tracks. Though arms will collide with one another, so it's up the player to use the above-mentioned dock changes, and bypass docks to avoid traffic jams. Rails also now support being connected in a loop. Any LArRE Attempting to navigate to a location on a loop will take the path with the least stations.

One new restriction is the inability for LArRE to interact with anything directly under its dock, as activate will attempt to trigger a dock/undock. This was required to keep LArRE's operation simple, without forcing every model to have an additional control.

---

Since LArRE arms perform contextual actions on the devices they are over, they have the ability to potentially operate on multiple slots. We've added the concept of proxy slots to allow players to know the details of the slot they are about to interact with. These are listed in the Stationpedia as slots with the type "proxy", and they allow logic systems to point towards a static slot irrespective of the arm's internal variables changing what slot is focused. An example of this is the Cargo LArRE slot #255, which will show the slot of what his slot index dial is pointing towards.

A large amount of work has gone into the LARrE system since the last update that is not yet been activated and there are some other known, less critical issues, that will be fixed with the next update.

Stationeers is a challenging game due to the depth of many of its mechanics. Much of this depth can be overlooked, as players just intuit what the complex simulation is doing as a natural expectation of real life. As you play more and more, and reach into the hundreds of hours, you start to understand the systems as they exist in game. You eventually master how to interact with the simulation and how the game systems interact with each other.




So we've added achievements to Stationeers to highlight player accomplishments. The achievements generally represent large milestones players pass as they start or finish projects in their bases. However there are many which are more abstract milestones, or rights of passages, players encounter while playing the game; such as bursting a pipe, or cancelling an airlock cycle. We've avoided silly/goofy ones, so you wont need to be struck by lightning while riding a chicken on a Tuesday.

---

Following on from the last bugfix update is a big project 'cleanup'. This involves removing unused or duplicated assets, ensuring that textures are imported and compressed correctly, and tweaking a few assets here and there. The result is that we've shaved off about 1.5 GB from the install size. We've also dramatically reduced the memory footprint of game. While we've taken care of most of the low hanging fruit there's still some obvious, though significantly more involved, areas where we can reduce resource usage.

The server list has been having issues for some time now, frequently being down for short periods of time, and eventually crashing completely. After a complete rewrite of the server it is now far more responsive, and less prone to failure.

It is possible to change where Stationeers looks for it's master server, allowing communities to run their own server lists if they wish. This is done via the NetConfig.xml in the games StreamingAssets folder.
In the near future we plan on making the server list software available via a git repository so that communities that want their own personal server lists can do so. without writing their own one from scratch.

This patch is largely focused on improvements and bug fixing. Specifically, we wanted to address community feedback with the tutorials, but we also used the opportunity to investigate some longer standing issues. Additionally, new art was ready, so we added a new visual variant of the computer.

We've made a load of tweaks to the tutorials based on observing first time players. These changes mainly involved wording changes, making use of more paint colours to specifically reference objects, and adjusting the layouts of the tutorials to help lead the player to the right location. We'll continue to tweak the existing tutorials as well as adding new tutorials where needed.

---

We've moved the functionality of double click, now called smart stow, to its own binding. The double click functionality was interfering with other input making it feel slow and laggy. Instead of double clicking with the mouse you can now right click to achieve the exact same behaviour, and instead of double tapping 'F' you can now press 'G'. The grab action has now been remapped to 'H'. Of course, these are the defaults and can be rebound.

---

A long standing, and frustrating bug, has been the inconsistent placement of cables in half constructed walls. This issue meant that while you could place cables down, you'd have to remove the wall to pull the cable back up again. We performed a pass on all the wall build states so cables are entirely accessible through half constructed walls.


Wall mounted devices require support, however at some point a restriction was put on the placement of these devices that meant that every grid, up to four if you were placing on a corner, needed to be present. While this was an intentional change at the time it has long been a pain point, and we've decided that any support will do. This means that you can now freely place these devices on the edge of walls or frames.

---

A pretty big bug with atmospherics has now been resolved. Deconstructing frames would sometimes lead to a global atmosphere gas mixture being created in its place. The related issue also caused rooms sealed with terrain to have similar issues. This dangerous gas from outside entering into your base was often catastrophic and frustrating for players. Base construction on Europa, Vulcan, and Venus should now be much more straight forward and intuitive.

---

This is exactly the same as the existing computer, except with a more 70s cabinet style.

• Removed Double mouse-click action. We concluded that the input latency issues caused by waiting to evaluate whether a click was a single or double press was not worth the utility. It was contributing to an overall feeling of sluggish-ness when interacting with the UI which added an additional un-necessary pain-point to an already challenging Interface for players to engage with.

• Added new retro computer variant in the computer kit
  
• Made a few tweaks to hydroponics larry logic to improve clarity.
  
• Added first pass on larry cargo arm. Cargo larry can take from and insert into slots on a device using the slot index set on the dial or set through logic.
  
• Changed the atmos analyser to use the players position instead of the tablet position when finding the world atmosphere as sometimes it was misleading when the tablet was in a different grid, or potentially a different room than the player.
  
• Fixed SmartStow did not close Blueprint cursor.
  
• Fixed Reinforced Wall does not block light on completed build-state.
  
• Fixed exception being thrown by the arc furnace after it has finished smelting. Ensured that cancelation token was used when the smelting thing became null.

Tutorials were disabled after the phase change update due to many base breaking changes. Like with any work we do on the game, we have to judge the amount of work required vs the fun the players will have. Stationeers is notoriously a hard game to learn, and new players over the last few months haven't had anything to help them get started. We decided to try a new approach to tutorials, with a low technical overhead, to see if using a new style of guidance could help players in the first few hours of Stationeers.

The old tutorials would take weeks of work from multiple people to create each one, and then a large amount of work to update them as the game changed. This process was enormously costly, even before taking into account maintaining them.

The new system, along with the new design approach, will allow us to create a new tutorial in a very short time. We've started with three tutorials and will be rolling out new ones as they are created.




Our new system to help guide players is called "Helper Hints". These exist to offer subtle guidance for what can become medium to long term projects for players. Like Stationpedia's F1 quick access, helper hints can easily be expanded and hidden by pressing F2. They can be disabled completely from the settings menu for players who don't want the guidance at all. Also, individual hints are expandable and collapsible, to reduce their visual footprint on the screen. You can also dismiss incomplete hints, in addition to un-dismissing already completed ones if you want to read the information again.

We've authored a few chains of hints that lead to player to making the basics of survival. The first hour has slightly more hints to help point players towards the key kits and devices of the game. Once the player has been introduced to a device, we believe that they'll experience the pros and cons that come along with building it, and the game will naturally progress from there. These hints should be seen as way to point you towards the game content, and not an objective quest you must do.

These new tutorials are meant to teach high level concepts, while avoiding focusing on the details of individual machines. Stationeers has too many devices that are necessary to play, and its impractical to cover them all. More importantly, until a player has experienced a problem first hand, it's difficult to teach them about all the possible solutions.

The new tutorials focus on a few abstract concepts such as room construction, inventory/slots, connecting devices, and moving air. The helper hint system is utilized to give instructions to players, in a very non hand-holdy way. The tutorials are short, yet slightly free form to ensure players really understand what they must do. We've kept the number of steps in each tutorial fairly low, meaning that if you need to start over, you'll quickly get back to where you were. An experienced player can complete these in 30-60 seconds.

With these simple concepts introduced to the player we hope that during a normal play session the loadout of the lander, combined with the default helper hints, should prevent players from being stuck with no idea where to go.

Stationeers went through several types of tutorials, with the first being hard coded. These were often buggy and hard to maintain because the writer had to consider everything the player might do to change the state of the world they were tracking. In stationeers, there are many different ways to accomplish the same objective. Multiple iterations of a single tutorial level with this approach took weeks of time.

The next approach to tutorials involved generic events spread across the whole game. These were also somewhat hard to maintain, and their distributed nature cluttered up the project. Large reworks, such as the multiplayer refactor, phase change, or the rocket update, all broke large sections of this approach.

Somewhat separately, the tutorials created during this time, were very polished, and pretty looking; they even came with embedded video clips. This level of polish took months of time to accomplish. Unfortunately, they failed to teach players what to expect while actually in the game. They also suffered from utilizing unrealistic bases, and designs that didn't represent normal gameplay. Your grandmother could follow the very detailed steps, and not get 'stuck', but then have no idea how to start the game once left alone on the moon with a lander.

With our newest approach, we've taken a step back, and let go of the players hand. The things we're trying to teach are far simpler than before. Bases are made from walls and frames, things need to be connected, air exists and can be moved, etc. As much as we would love to try and teach every little nuance of the UI, tips and tricks of some devices, or time saving shortcuts, new player that are initially overwhelmed just aren't ready to hear them. You have to be able to build a small base before you'll appreciate lessons about pressure regulators, or want to know the pros and cons of multidimensional solar tracking.

We'll be looking for feedback to ensure this approach of teaching works for Stationeers. Our current goal with the tutorials is to give new players a better expectation of how they might play. If the reception to this style is positive, this system also allows us to easily create more specific tutorials that cover intermediate and advanced concepts in the game, in a much straightforward and maintainable way than in the past.
