This update brings several components needed for the survival early game.
Here are the new blocks and features in a nutshell:
- Personal crafting.
- New jump/boost jetpack mode.
- More wood shapes and blocks. Wood retains original tree color.
- Crucible: can smelt ore into ingots
- Crafting bench.
- Wooden crate.
- Wind Turbine.
- Stone block, stone retains original rock color.
- Coal spawn like other ore. Coal be used to fuel the crucible
Personal Crafting
The player can now craft a few basic schematics from its inventory menu.
More survival pratical items will be added over time.
The crafting here is purely manual (so it is made to be a bit tedious)
Crafting Bench
The crafting bench is a stepping stone between the personal crafting and the full fledged assembler.
Like the personal crafting it is manual.
Crucible
Like the furnace the crucible can smelt ore into ingots.
Unlike the Arc Furnace it do not require access to a powered grid but will require coal or wood to process ingots.
It also can only process a few ore type compared to the furnace.
It is possible to queue up several ingots.
Wood and coal
It is now possible to destroy tree to get wood. Wood can be used in various schematics.
More wood shapes have been added.
The wood will retain the color of the original tree, so it is up to you to explore the galaxy to get wood of the color you fancy!
Stone blocks
Stone block can be crafted from rock. Like the tree they will retains the original rock color.
Wind Turbine
The wind turbine is a power generator available early from the crafting bench. It requires wind to produce power. I picked an helix design so it can scale easily verticaly!
Jetpack refactor
Obviously being able to levitate infinitely is not doable for survival, so a new jetpack mode is introduced: the jump-pack.
Jump-pack will provide a boost to the player jump, but also a dash forward when pressing shift.
I am not 100% satisfied with the dash, the keymapping will likely change.
Anti-g and 6-dof are still accessible in 0 or low g environment.

#5351 Various issues with solar panels
Thanks for playing!
