It's the 29th of January - boy, a lot has changed since the 27th of December!
So, just to get this out of the way - Here's my Patreon. If you're lovin' the new features and patches, please consider donating. It helps out massively, and means I
can continue to produce content for the game. ON WITH THE PATCH NOTES!
Ok, first off, here's the stuff you REALLY need to know:
- Research Pods now requires 6 plates and 2 PCBs, making automation dead-easy. You HAVE to automate them now, no more hand-crafting.
- Smelters can now collection power through the attached Forced Induction Kits; there's also MK4 and MK5 induction kits for super-fast Ore loading.
- All new Ore Ping graphics for T2 materials; you can also craft Hardened Resin Pings.
- Turrets have got some tactical readouts; either press E when looking at them or left-ctrl on the HoloBase to view range.
- Added Motorised Conveyors for super-fast emptying of Storage Hoppers. Conveyor Filters and Advanced Filters have been improved substantially.
- Added Plasma-Imbued Cutter Heads. These give 100% resources for 2500 ore, at a 400% collection rate! To be clear : THIS cutter head DOES increase the ore rate, MASSIVELY, but only for a SHORT period of time.
- Remember you can automate the fitting of cutter heads by putting them in a Remove Only Hopper.
- Added Coal Enricher - Enriched Coal gives double Power Per Seconds to PTGs! (But not the CPH. Stop trying)
- Completely rewords the way Missiles work - they're at least a million times more awesome, and much easier to make, too!
- Added Plasma-Imbued warheads, doing TRIPLE damage!
- Added Armour-Piercing warheads, doing NINE-times damage!
- Organic Panels now collect at night!
- You can't break Multiblock machines by accident (well, unless you fell asleep on the keyboard)
- You can't select a torch when inside it!
- TONS AND TONS of multiplayer fixes, and a dedicated server too! (Windows 64 bit only for now)
- Added a Server Monitor machine to build and see what the server's up to!
- Scrolling Text everywhere! It's great!
- Loads of upcraft receipes! Get rid of those T0 Lasers!
- New textures! Models! Icons! Sound effects!
- Loads of skins! These give you a player skin AND an ARTHER skin AND a spiderbot skin! Type /skin in the chat screen (Enter to chat)
- Rebalanced Research Points! No-one will ever run out again!
- Loads and LOADS of optimisation and clever-ass performance boosts!
- Loads of improvements and additions to the handbook!
- Added AFK mode! best for streamers, but cool for everyone! Type /AFK in the chat. Press B afterwards for the best effect, then WSAD to cancel
- All multiblock machines have had loads of visual improvements.
- LOADS of dynamically-loaded textures should reduce the memory footprint of the game loads!
BASICALLY IT'S BRILLIANT SO GO PLAY IT
