Greetings, Engineers!
The Chinese New Year is coming, and we will be on holiday for the next two weeks. But before we take this yearly break, we are bringing you this update with some new features.
Dashboard
To help our professional engineers manage their factory from the very details. We are introducing "Dashboard". Now you can add the "Stats" from the production and power and some other facilities, research queue or Statistics Panel to Dashboard.
Then you can create charts from the Stats you added in Dashboard to help you view certain aspects of your factory. You can add a specific item or a facility Stats to Dashboard and create a chart for it. You can modify its layout or style and view it at real-time.
[Auto Orbit] Mode Added for EM-Rail Ejectors
You must have had a hard time changing the orbit settings for the EM-Rail Ejectors. When [Auto Orbit] mode is enabled, if the ejector can't eject to the designated orbit, it will automatically look for ejectable orbits.
HD Screenshot Mode
To allow players to capture the beautiful moments, we've added a screenshot mode. Press [Shift + F11] to enter screenshot mode, and you can tweak resolution and camera transforms. The max resolution is up to 4x of the in game resolution.
Some screenshots:
Laying Foundations in Blueprint Mode
Many engineers are complaining about the terrain when pasting a blueprint. So we decided to get rid of the issue by adding a function to lay foundation in Blueprint Mode. Pasting a Blueprint will display the calculated Foundation and Soil Pile cost and automatically level the terrain before completing the paste action.
Just a second.. There's one little gadget that won't join this update. It's a research project we are still working on --- A beacon that could display messages, and it must have a fancy visual effect.
And you can leave your own message here, or write a todo list inside its interface.
And it can be seen at different views, to help you locate the destination.
Hope this research progress can carry on without a problem.
Here is the full log of today's update:
Version 0.10.32.25496 [Features]
- Added [Dashboard]. Inside Dashboard, the stats added can create a chart to help monitor factory status at real time.
- Added [Production Stats]. It can be used to create a chart of an item's production statistics.
- Added [Power Stats]. It can be used to create a chart of a power grid status, or power statistics of a planet or a planetary system.
- Added [Storage Stats]. It can be used to create a chart of an item's storage statistics.
- Added [Logistics Stats]. It can be used to create a chart of logistics statistics of a planet or a planetary system.
- Added [Resource Stats]. It can be used to create a chart of resource statistics of a planet or a planetary system.
- Added [Research Stats]. It can be used to create a chart of reach statistics.
- Added [Dyson Sphere Stats]. It can be used to create a chart of Dyson Sphere statistics.
- Added [Planetary Shield Stats]. It can be used to create a chart of Planetary Shield statistics.
- Added [Vein Stats]. It can be used to create a chart of veins' statistics.
- Added [Facility Production Stats], [Facility Storage Stats], [Monitor Stats]. They can be used to create a chart of a specific facility's statistics and its working status.
- Added [Auto Orbit] mode for EM-Rail Ejector. When [Auto Orbit] mode is activated, it will automatically look for ejectable orbits if the designated orbit can't be reached.
- Added [Screenshot Mode]. Press "Shift + F11" or click the button at the bottom right corner to enter Screenshot Mode. The adjustable parameters are there to help capture astonishing moments.
- When [Reclamation] tech is unlocked, pasting a Blueprint will display the calculated Foundation and Soil Pile cost and automatically level the terrain before completing the paste action.
[Balance]
- Adjusted Sandpile cost calculation when leveling terrain with proliferated Foundations. Now the calculation of proliferated Soil Pile gain and cost is calculated respectively and then summed.
[Bugfix]
- Fixed a bug where power generation stats is wrongly calculated when opening the Dyson Sphere tab for entire star cluster in Statistics Panel.
- Fixed a bug where Wind Turbine and Geothermal Power Station can be built closely.
- Fixed a bug when Dark Fog Planetary Base has a threat level over 70%, its UI is not always displayed.
- Fixed a bug where some hover information display for some facilities is wrongly displayed.
- Fixed some in game text.
