Hello everyone!
Demo Patch v0.4 is here with another round of quality-of-life upgrades and bug fixes drawn straight from your feedback. Let’s dive in:
Drone & Rover Retrieval Restored
Drone and Exploration Rover can now be picked up after you drop them—no more stranded machines cluttering the terrain.
Universal Line-Trace Collection
Every gatherable object now uses the precise Line-Trace pickup system, ensuring you grab exactly what you’re aiming at.
Smarter Build Tablet
The Build Tablet refreshes instantly when you pick something up, and its UI has been completely redesigned. Press “B” (weapon equipped or not) to auto-holster your weapon, equip the tablet, and pop open the Quick Build panel in one smooth motion.
Personalized Naming
• Give custom names to Production Resources and Storage units.
• The Control Panel now shows each item’s custom tag right beside it—no more guessing which “Assembler 03” is which.
Refined Case Drops
Dropped cases sport updated meshes and disable physics once they spawn, preventing unwanted sliding or bouncing.
Revamped Placement UI
Placing crafted objects feels cleaner than ever thanks to fresh visuals and streamlined controls.
Context-Aware Gamepad Icons
Gamepad icons in the Menu and Options screens now appear only when a controller is actually connected, eliminating confusion for mouse-and-keyboard players.
Save / Load / Overwrite Confirmations
Trying to save, load, or overwrite? A clear confirmation dialog now asks whether you really want to proceed—no more accidental data loss.
UI Collision Fixes
Menus such as Weapon Select, Quick Use, Inventory, and Control Panel no longer overlap or trap each other during object placement. Tooltip stacking and multiple storage panels opening at once have also been squashed.
Jump in, put the new systems through their paces, and let us know how everything feels. Your comments steer our roadmap, so keep them coming!
Happy building!
