Update 0.63 Pre-Alpha

Hello!
Sorry for long delay.
One of us felt not very good almost for a week. Pesky viruses tried to slow down development process. But now its okay and we may continue. :)

So, in this update the craft system is available for multiplayer and many important bugs is solved. Including one of the two the most important bugs!
Ships no longer accidentally explode!
Now we hope you no more will not lose your ships and resources for no reason.

By the way, the second important bug is a flickering in the multiplayer. Soon we will solve it somehow and the game should became much more better.

The plan for next couple of updates is a Crew! Plus some improvements and bugfixes. More you can find in our Trello page

Change log

Improvements

  • Craft is working in multiplayer
  • Transfering of items between cargo bays is improved
  • Added possibility to exit without save
  • Appearance chance of ice on the asteroids decreased from 40% to 25% (more chance for all other element)
  • Inheritance of velocity and angular velocity when the ship was divided on several pieces, now should be more correct
  • Starting fuel and parts in cargo bay is slightly increased

Bug fixes

  • Hooray! Seems like we solved those annoying random explosions! (It cause another little bug, when the ship impacts into asteroid on high velocity, it will just bounce off with some damage for only one module, but this is not a big problem and will be fixed later). Also damage on impact is temporary decreased since it have not very realistic behaviour.
  • Cargo Bay cannot be overfilled
  • Pause button in menu works again
  • Save button in menu works again
  • Fixed incorrect camera panning when ship was divided on several pieces
  • Now niobium can be found on asteroids
  • Sandbox Mode option now can be visible even if game is not started yet (in main menu), turned out that it is quite unobvious and users cannot find this option
  • Grabbers and Docking Ports now should be much more stable
  • Modules can't be builded inside asteroids
  • Cannon projectiles no more collide in each other
  • Solar panels now saved
  • Default ship appears with connected fuel connectors
