Hello Nomads,
Floating foundations are officially here. Some of you, such as soulguard with his screenshot above, have discovered them even earlier, as the Tech Tree unlocked them prematurely. Now they are part of the Creative Mode too!
Their intended purpose is for building bases on water. Their actual use depends on what ideas you come up with.
Here's glabifrons':

Hover-pads have lost its hover power setting, as we've added block naming to the radial menu and there's no more room for it. This change is important for the upcoming central control block - as you're only able to identify individual blocks (wheels, pads) by their name in the terminal's setting screen.
To counter this loss, we've increased the default setting to the highest one - hope this makes most of your creations fully functional again.
Full 0.7.8.0 Patch Notes
- Added Floating Foundation block
- Hover pads hover height has been increased from 2 meters to 2.5 meters (highest setting)
- Aggressive flies from hazard world objects now cause less damage
- Aggressive flies are now bigger and more distinct with colors
- Changed Graphic Presets in Graphics Settings to a more balanced out performance - this should help FPS go up for less powerful rigs
- Decreased Jetpack sound volume
Happy Nomading!
