Hey everyone!

The Modding Update is here adding the modding API and support for the Steam Workshop!


You can create mods using the now available editor "Planet S Tools". It enables you to create assets for Planet S including:

• World types
  
• Planet types
  
• Items
  
• Population types
  
• Resources
  
• Ambient objects (such as trees & rocks)
  
• Rockets
  
• Buildings
  
• Spaceships
  
• Technologies
  
• and some other things like building menu entries or tile types

This guide explains the basics to get into modding Planet S: [Creating mods for Planet S]

For now there is one example mod available in the Workshop. It primary serves as an example for people creating mods but it also adds a bit of content to explore, as this update doesn't add content to the base game.

We will expand the documentation and add more examples in the future but if you have any questions or if you need help with mods or modding then check out our new Discord section!

The game now supports DirectX 12 which should improve compatibility across the board.
You can now choose between DirectX 12 and Vulkan on Windows when starting the game.

The game now also ships with a native linux version for both the game and the new tools.
This has been a long time in the making and should provide a better experience and performance on Linux devices and the Steam Deck.
There might be some bugs that slipped through testing so please let us know if you find any!

+ Item categories in spaceports, warehouses & depots
+ Items now have "tiers" like population types, shown by individual color accents
~ Bot aggression is now less dependent on the diplomatic opinion
~ Faster world generation (exspecially on CPUs with many threads)
~ Updated the city center UI to contains only the relevant citizen types

* Fixed a crash when hitting pirates with an interplanetary laser
* Fixed bots colonizing gas planets

+ Added Ukrainian localization by klimuxel

~ Implemented various performance optimizations

We are looking forward to what you all think and what you will create!

Enjoy!

Fixed a bug that allowed you to cut things through walls.

Hidey ho! The Houdini 20 Production Build has been updated to 20.0.724.

Here's a link to the journal for all the changes that went in since the last production build:
https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/96274/

Hello AdrenalineRs!
The base has become bigger, more interesting, and more useful. The second difficulty level is temporarily open. We continue to improve the visual aspects of the game, fix bugs, and adjust the game balance. All of this should make the process of destroying the offspring of a sick “mind” even more colorful and immersive. Here’s what we did this week…

(enemy sketches: mutant, insect + high technology)

Gameplay
1. During the run you can improve the parameters at the base
2. Reduced collision area of saws (traps) in levels
3. Added a support platform at the player’s spawn point
4. Added an additional platform in the tutorial level
5. Added a notification to leave the level when the portal is activated
6. Fixed the position of platforms in boss levels
7. Removed "chunks" of levels with annoying jump-puzzle
8. Added new "chunks" of levels
9. Added a fourth floor to the base
10. Moved the terminal from the second floor to the first floor. Now you can view achievements, their conditions, and rewards on the first floor. Previously, the terminal was on the third floor and required activation to access it
11. Added terminals to the third and fourth floors of the base
12. Now each floor has a terminal with a set of skills and parameters. Character skills and parameters can be upgraded using resources from levels
13. The second difficulty level is open for playtests

Visuals
1. Updated the kamikaze explosion preparation effect
2. Removed overly bright spots in game levels
3. Killed enemies are now colored gray and lose their highlight

Interface
1. Added hints for the timer and stages
2. Added additional hints in the tutorial level
3. Removed the delay for hint appearance in the upgrade menu
4. Added a resource hint to the skill selection window

Balance
1. Changed the calculation principle of the “Max Life” skill bonus. Now, upgrading this skill adds +50 to the maximum health level and +50 to the current health level
2. Reduced the health points of elite enemies from 15,000 to 7,500
3. Grenadiers now attack less frequently and with less accuracy
4. Significantly increased the base damage of the Saw skill from 8 to 40

5. Increased invulnerability time after a dash from 0.3 sec to 0.5 sec
6. Changed the calculation principle of the “Bomb” booster damage to bosses: now it deals 25% of max health instead of 750 damage
7. The bomb booster now applies a burning effect to surviving enemies, dealing 200 damage per second for 10 seconds

Bugs
1. Fixed the issue with the “Save and Exit” button being highlighted when clicking in the void in the skill selection window
2. Removed the delay for hint appearance in terminals

KCJ-09 (CLOT) 83 years after its invention, the KCJ remains the most predominant bioweapon in the field.
