Hello,
Here is the first post release update. I've read a lot of the reviews and feedbacks pinpointing issues about the editor, and saw the confusion about the zoop mode button in particular. This patch improves on a few quality of life features, but we also have fully functionnal CIWS now, as well as a new turret and other improvements to the game.
Editor
The zoop mode button was removed. Instead you can place many blocks at once by holding the left click and dragging the mouse. Same applies for the color mode.
A new setting was added to allow for dragged placement even if some of the elements are blocked by other components on the ship.
Loading and unloading ships should be also faster now in the editor.
Finally some people had issues where their ship could become corrupted. This can happen on unstable computers with overclocked RAM or external software disturbing the game memory. Ship saving should be safer now.
Photo mode
You can now have many ships in photo mode, and move them easily. You can also click turrets to rotate and elevate them.
Goalkeeper 30mm CIWS turret
This gatling turret is very potent against planes and incoming rocket or missile threats. Equipped with a very high rate of fire 30mm gatling gun, and with a very fast train rate, it can respond quickly to attacks.
Improved wave simulation
The fluid simulation was changed to better represent the kelvin wake pattern frequently seen with ships. The foam simulation is also improved when using this parameter.
