Hey Astro Colonists!
The game just received massive update with more improvements!
There are new systems in the game, like Mass Astronauts/bots migration, drag construction for ramps, mass bot upgrading, mass astronaut training, and more.
Please check this article to find out more!
MASS ASTRONAUTS/BOTS MIGRATION
Migrating many bots/astronauts before this update wasn't an easy task. As you may know each AI is looking for a job and can migrate when finding one - for example miners to the mine, scientists to the laboratory. That was the only mechanic that could help with migrating many drones.
But what about transport drones, newcomers etc? You could use menu in the Astronauts panel (P).
As you can see, only one selected astronaut could be migrated. It requires many click.
With new mass migration, you decide: where to migrate, how many bots, what status (idle, all), and station.
RAMP DRAG CONSTRUCTION/SELECTION
Before the update, 12 different construction modes were present in the game, allowing players to construct vertical/horizontal lines, boxes, floors, walls, diagonal, snap elements, single and custom.
Two more are now present! Creating RAMP LINES!
Improvements
- Mass migration system allowing to migrate multiple bots/astronauts at once
- Two new drag systems for ramps
- Migration in multiplayer is fully implmeneted
- Improved copy/pasting for some properties with triggers - ex. dedicated specialist count
- Making visuals subtle and not visible behind other surfaces. https://i.imgur.com/i4qdoOd.png
