Hey Folks!
Ostranauts v0.12.0.7 is now available on Steam, and your clients should be updating shortly.
This is a hotfix to our recently released "Rate My Ship" update that fixes several bugs and issues reported by players.
Saves from v0.12.0.0 and later should work. If you were experiencing issues in the older save, this patch may fix some, but others may persist depending on the cause.
- Fixed a bug that causes docking clearance to get messed-up when attempting to dock with an already docked vessel.
- Fixed a bug that could cause NPC ships to never undock from derelicts, making some gigs impossible.
- Fixed a money exploit loophole when buying and selling derelicts without visiting them.
- Fixed a bug that prevented docking to owned ships if the transponder was off.
- Fixed a bug that could cause nulls when hacking a door.
- Fixed a bug that could cause ghost ships when undocking from an NPC ship.
- Fixed a bug on the Ferry UI that always showed OKLG as the destination.
- Fixed a bug that could cause AI ships to try to elude player after granting docking clearance.
- Fixed a bug that spawned purchased ships too close to another ship to be reached safely.
Several docking fixes in this patch! There were a number of edge cases we didn't cover in our code that needed fixing, and thanks to player reports, we were able to find and fix those.
Buying and selling derelicts also exposed an infinite money loophole that, while lucrative, sort of spoiled the fun of the game. So we patched that to help keep the game balanced.
And a few other sundry bugs were found and fixed in this update.
As always, there's plenty more for us to fix, change, and add! And we'll be continuing in roughly that order. In the meantime, let us know if this patch helps you out, as well as if it reveals new problems!
Best,
