I felt the game was stable enough to spend some more time improving some common points of friction in the gameplay, so here we are!
Storage UI Upgrade
The main focus of this update! It is probably the oldest bit of UI in the game, so very overdue for a complete redesign.
- The two square monitors have been combined into a single 4:3 monitor.
- Brand new 4:3 monitor model, which will probably be rolled out to other control panels in following updates.
- You can now swap all of a single type of item with a single button click.
- You can now spam the swap button without having to reselect the item (resolving issue #2).
- There is now another meter which indicates how much room you have in your own inventory.
Inventory UI Changes
- You can now dismantle items from within the inventory UI.
- You can now drop debris materials in the inventory UI, without having to equip them first.
- Suit upgrades now have an "INSTALL" button in the inventory, which will link you directly to their relevant upgrades window.
Other Additions
- You can now dismantle the leaky tank for a bit of aluminium and silicon.
- Dismantling empty bags and empty cans will always return aluminium (this is likely temporary).
- Added setting: Disable in-world monitor effects (may improve readability for some people).
- You can now use Q+E to kill velocity.
- Added an "Evacuate" objective at the beginning, which will appear if you don't leave the wreckage within a minute.
- The length of night is now indicated on a sticky note, rather than a printed label (which didn't make much sense).
- Changed tech tree "Rewards" to be "Unlocks" (people kept thinking you just automatically gain the things you unlock).
- Renamed airlock control panel "START/STOP EVA" button to "START/STOP E.V.A." (to stop people from reading EVA as a word the first time they see it).
Other Fixes
- Removed unnecessary warning logs during opening cutscene.
