Updates to R&D Labs
Important note:
All existing R&D Test Chamber game saves are very likely to load into the new R&D Labs with peculiar consequences; mainly Techs falling from great height or just hanging in the air if they're anchored. So any Techs that you want to keep for the new R&D Labs, please snapshot in the current version 1.3.5 before updating to this version.
- Updates are currently in progress so do let us know what you think as we refine what we have and add more features to R&D Labs.
- Some of the new features are:
- Biome Areas - to test how well your Tech drives on the different terrains.
- Speed Trap - to test how fast your Tech is travelling as it crosses the laser line.
- Weighing Scales - to measure the mass of a Tech or multiple Techs or individual blocks.
- Damage Calculator - see how much damage each weapon causes
- Biome Areas - to test how well your Tech drives on the different terrains.
Design Tweaks:
- The GSO Anchored SCU Storage Device has been moved from GSO Grade 3 to GSO Grade 2.
- It will now appear as a rare mission reward for completing missions from GSO Grade 2 onwards.
Art Tweaks:
- Graphics options Draw Distance slider has now been extended to almost 3 times the previous distance.
- There are also separate graphics options sliders for Detail Distance and Shadow Distance.
- The radar has become semi-transparent.
Localisation:
- Translations for new text have been added for Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Spanish.
