Since The Architect update went live last week, we saw that a lot of you were enjoying creating all types of unique structures. And so we wanted to give you even more custom pieces. Additionally, we saw that a few of you were having issues with joining/inviting to/deleting universes, as well as buildings/utilities disappearing from your base. Those issues have now been rectified in this update.
So, go forth and build, build and BUILD some more. But if you want further details, please read below.
WHAT’S CHANGED?
ADDED OVER 30 NEW CUSTOM PIECES: More pieces means more creative freedom. And this latest batch of new pieces includes the likes of windowed walls, lighting fixtures, curved walls, a door, and more!
CREATED A SOFTWARE-SIDE LOAD BALANCER: If you were noticing items/structures missing from your base, this was due to an inherent limit in multiplayer due to cloud bandwidth. So, we wrote a software-side load balancer that automatically compresses the amount of traffic to 1/50th of the space. Meaning, your items should no longer disappear.
IMPROVED STEAM NAME CHARACTER RECOGNITION: We noticed people with steam names that contained spaces or special characters had trouble inviting, joining, and deleting private universes. That however, has been corrected, so no matter your steam name, you should be able to invite, join, or delete servers with no problems.
