Bugfix: When running in developer mode, mods that add new ship classes would crash the game during loading with a "cannot be used in the demo" error. (This bug was introduced in yesterday's 0.30.4b hotfix.)
Possible fix for rare, random crashes during gameplay. Attention Linux Players: We're aware that many of you are experiencing random and often frequent freezes/crashes since the 0.30.4 update. We're currently in communications with the Proton team about these, and they need your
Attention Linux Players: We're aware that many of you are experiencing random and often frequent freezes/crashes since the 0.30.4 update. We're currently in communications with the Proton team about these, and they need your Proton log files in order to investigate the issue. Please see this FAQ about how to turn on and find the Proton log file. Please post the log file here or on Discord. (Warning: These files can be extremely large, so you may need to compress it or extract the final 10k lines or so.) In the meantime, some players have reported success by changing the version of Proton used, and if that doesn't work then rolling Cosmoteer back to 0.30.3 (available via the beta branches) should definitely resolve it.
Bugfix: The game would sometimes load forever while jumping to a new star system. When updating an existing Steam Workshop item, the name, description, and preview image will no longer be updated unless you specially check a box to do so.
Cosmoteer update 0.30.4 is now available! This is a small update that adds "Ironman Mode" to Career, adds new ships, improves balance, and fixes bugs. Enjoy! Patch Notes: Balance: Small Shield (Overclocked): 'Extended' health reduced (15000->12000) 'Reinforced' health increase

Bugfix: In single-player, detonating an Explosive Charge while hovering another part would crash the game.
Crash when overclocked shields receive negative damage. Possible freeze when placing parts that change heat build stats. Explosions that split ships could cause common multiplayer desyncs and inconsistent damage.

Hey Cosmoteers!
My friend has just released a free demo for their game Heretic Red, which is a narrative-driven detective mystery game that's set in a snowy village with murder, blasphemy, and religious tension. I played the demo myself and really enjoyed it, especially the world-building and dialogue. Here's a trailer:
View game pageI know that's basically nothing like Cosmoteer, but if it sounds like something you might enjoy, then I encourage you to check it out! The demo takes under an hour to play and is of course free. And if you like it, then please wishlist so that you get notified when the full game releases!

Bugfix: Mods whose /Actions list used inheritance would usually crash on load.
Bugfix: Crash when booting the game on a computer that doesn't have a settings file saved yet.
Cosmoteer update 0.30.3 is now available! This is a small update that makes quality-of-life improvements, adds new ships, improves balance, and fixes bugs. Enjoy! Patch Notes: Built-In Ships: Added 4 new Fringe combat ships: Hotshot, Scorcher, Smoulderer, and Stoker. Added 11 new
Cosmoteer update 0.30.3 is now available! This is a small update that makes quality-of-life improvements, adds new ships, improves balance, and fixes bugs.
Enjoy!
Patch Notes:
Built-In Ships:
Added 4 new Fringe combat ships: Hotshot, Scorcher, Smoulderer, and Stoker.
Added 11 new Cabal combat ships: Adustio, Antares, Heliogabalus, Helios, Ignis Castus, Ignis Excaecator, Ignis Immanis, Ignis Iustus, Ignis Nitidus, Ignis Primus, and Ignis Recensus.
Added 4 new Imperium combat ships: Alicanto, Ashoka, Aspatha, and Mithridates.
Added 5 new Great House Io combat ships: Lerna, Sabnock, Sargus, Vapula, and Zent.
Misc updates to existing ships.
Balance:
Point Defense (Non-Overclocked):
Increased range from 150 to 200.
Point Defense (Overclocked):
Reduced rate of fire from 15 to 11.25.
Reduced heat generation from 450 to 200.
Increased power use from 0.035 to 0.04/shot.
Decreased energy generation from 0.131 to 0.125/second.
Reasoning: Improve the number of PD that can be supported per Heat Exchanger.
Heavy Laser (Overclocked):
Reduced shield area damage from 1600 to 700.
Reasoning: Was overperforming in damage potential vs shields, especially stacked shields. (Full single-shield hits is still above non-overclocked damage.)
Railgun (Overclocked):
Reduced base damage pool from 20000 to 16000.
Reasoning: Was generally overperforming.
Large Cannon (Overclocked):
Reduced projectile speed from 195 to 170.
Reasoning: Was overperforming because bullets were too hard to dodge or intercept.
Thermal Resonance Lance:
Increased shield overload duration from 1 to 1.5 seconds.
Increased shield overload per amplification from 0.6% to 0.75%.
Increased shield overload per dilation from 12.5% to 16%.
Increased shield overload base amount from 4.4% to 5%.
Reasoning: Thermal Resonance Lance's were underperforming vs shields after prior fixes/nerfs.
Heat:
Damage resistance modifier reduced by 28%.
Reasoning: Part damage bonus from Thermal Resonance Lances was too strong.
Ship A.I.:
When A.I. ships retreat back to their origin, they will no longer turn their backs to their enemies.
User Interface:
Translation updates for all supported languages.
Amplification and Dilation Pump stats now show their power usage scaling.
In multiplayer, observers are now grouped under their own "team" header in the scoreboard.
Updated Railgun overclock description and stats to describe its new-ish projectile fragmentation.
Audio:
Lots of tweaks to sound effects, including balance levels.
Reduced the volume of multiple shields enabling or disabling at the same time.
The default music and interface volumes have been adjusted to provide a better balance.
Audio levels are now limited by Cosmoteer instead of relying on the OS. (This shouldn't have any noticeable effect when playing, but should fix audio issues when recording/streaming.)
Graphics:
Fixed the 'fade_straight_triangle_half_empty` decal so that it properly matches surrounding decals.
The Great House Io faction icon now has a glow like the other icons. (Was literally unplayable.)
Bug Fixes:
On some computers with AMD GPUs, Cosmoteer would fail to start (often showing as a black box) with the error message "No suitable default monitor was found" in the log files.
Ships attacking a station would sometimes fly to the wrong station.
Missions to defeat Great House Io ships were never spawning.
It was possible to get free resources or unlimited money by buying resources and then switching to another star system before the trade was complete. (Doing so would refund the money, but then the trade would still complete upon returning to the original star system.)
Overclocked Capacitors no longer produce heat when filled by "Restock All".
Overclocked Standard, Large, Huge, and Boost thrusters had much longer thrust recovery times than intended.
Overclocked Point Defense was not generating heat when needing less power than one recharge tick's worth.
Boost Thrusters had 25% higher power usage and heat generation while boosting than was intended.
Boost Thruster max power usage had been unintentionally reverted in 0.30.2; it has been un-reverted (1.38 to 1.1).
Resources pre-purchased but not-yet-received from a ship or station that becomes junk weren't being refunded.
Diamond Smelters would produce diamonds even when powered off.
Following a ship in Career that goes far enough away from the player to be despawned will now properly turn the player's follow command into a move command to the target's last-known location.
Mirrored part selection now works properly for Thermal Batteries.
Recentering blueprints would cause heat pipes to appear disconnected.
Heat Pipe blueprints were unintentionally rendering over part selection/hover overlays.
Certain audio effects (such as the nuke's thruster rumble) could cause annoying audio pops when stopped.
Viewing .rec files could sometimes freeze when jumping to another system, and would definitely freeze on the 2nd jump.
Modding:
Rules files path syntax now supports a ':' syntax which means "go to the most-derived inheritor". (This syntax is not currently being used by the vanilla rules files but will be in the future.)
Some part components (currently only resource storage components, but possibly more in the future) now support multiple triggers under different names.
All resource storage components now support a "CrewResourcesReceived" named trigger that will be triggered when they receive resources specifically from crew.
ResourceChange components now support using a specific named trigger. (Currently this is the only component, but in the near future all components that use triggers will support named triggers.)
Fixed crash in some circumstances if a translation .rules file is edited while the game is running.
Fixed NetworkPorts routing to/from NetworkNodeProxies not removing their routes when the proxy was disabled.
Fixed mods reducing part crew requirements in existing saves which could corrupt the save, causing crashes.

The Great House Io crew transport "Charon" wasn't spawning in Career as intended.
Undo/redo sounds in the crew management screen weren't being affected by the interface volume setting.
Modding:
Mod rules files can now add 'UseThisFileIfNoVersionMatch = true' to tell Cosmoteer to load that rules file if no rules file with a matching version number can be found.
BeamEmitter now detects colliders overlapping the emission point if the new 'ColliderOverlapTest' parameter is set to true.
In developer mode, all game modes now support teleporting ships to their destination (ctrl+enter) and deleting ships (del).
ToggledComponents containing network components could cause a crash when being toggled on/off by another network component.
Bullets that used ProximityAcceleration with ships could cause desyncs. (Only affected certain mods.)
For backwards-compatibility, the logo ship fly in/out sounds are now optional.
Part and bullet components that are "void" (only have a name ID without =, {}, or \[]) will now be treated as if they don't exist. You can use this effectively "remove" components from lists of inherited components.
The SpawnBullets effect now has an "EffectScale" parameter which is passed to the spawned bullets.
Bullet PenetratingHit components now support splitting bullets based on damage applied from a DamagePool via the new "DamagePoolBulletSplitting" rules. (See overclocked railgun bullets.)

Bug Fixes:
Possible crash when making a hyper-jump while a ship had heat.
Loading a saved game file made while a ship is under construction wouldn't properly re-enabled overclock modes.
When updating from a version of Cosmoteer prior to 0.29.0, Steam could sometimes fail to remove old decal files, causing multiplayer incompatibility. Multiplayer should now remain compatible even if Steam fails to remove the files.
Small Laser Blasters could sometimes fire through their own ship.
Shield arcs that protruded into the sun's heat zone wouldn't take damage if the ship itself didn't touch the heat zone.
A.I. ships would sometimes hail the player even though the player couldn't see them.
If a ship was transferred to another player while in direct control mode, then its new owner wouldn't be able to direct-control it until giving it another command first.
Manipulator beams could attempt (and fail) to deliver resources to blocked construction sites.
A.I. ships were treating Mining Lasers as harmless when deciding whether to surrender.
The "Pirate Hunter" mission's distance calculation was including ships that had already surrendered.
Ships with hyper-jump beacons were able to jump to themselves.
A.I. ships that were "killed" by scorching were not counting as kills for the purpose of mission completion.
Setting all crew job priorities in a group didn't work for any parts ordinarily hidden in stacks, such as M.R.T. Extenders or M.R.T. Fuel Pods.
Hyper-drives weren't spinning down as intended after completing a jump.
Hyper-drive charge level was resetting after loading a save file.
The "X souls want to join your crew. Increase your fame to Y to pursuade more." message could often show a lower fame amount than was actually required.
Station guard ships weren't properly patrolling around their station as intended.
Trade ships could sometimes get stuck when flying through star systems with a lot of electron clouds.
Overclocked Small Shields showed the incorrect distance stat for extended mode.
In Build & Battle, some overclock modes were unintentionally available without requiring a purchase.
An overclocked Heavy Laser Blaster was playing the wrong shot VFX.
Modding:
If a decal folder contains a file called "whitelist.txt", only those decals present in the whitelist will be loaded. (The developer menu now has an command to automatically generate these files for all decal folders.)
All resource storage components (except for flex grids) now support a 'GiveResourceMediaEffects' parameter.
ContinuousEffects now supports an optional 'UpdateMediaBuffs' parameter that, if true, will allow its effects to dynamically update depending on the part's buffs.
BeamEmitter now supports 'AntiPhasingRaycastDistance' just like BulletEmitter.
ContinuousEffects now supports an optional 'PlayEndMediaOnNonOperational' parameter. (Defaults to true.)
Buff providers now support optional 'BlueprintOverlayToggle' and 'InvertBlueprintOverlayToggle' parameters to control whether their blueprint overlays are rendered.
Parts now support an optional 'PartNetworkOverlayMidpoint' parameter which controls where the midpoint for part networks is rendered.
Part toggle choices now support a 'SelectedSound' that will play when that choice is selected.
The "Huge Crews" mod now greatly increases the crew job and resource assignment rates.
The Example Mod's decal is now added to the "shapes" tab.
Bugfix: Missile Launchers set to any type other than H.E. would lose their loaded missile parts after loading a saved game. Bugfix: Overclocked Deck Cannons had their reload timers reset after loading a saved game.
