Content & Gameplay
- Content: Added decorative rays, fish and seaweed to the game. Thanks to MoeGraph.
- Tutorial: Replaced and added the ore processing example scene.
- Gameplay: Since most automation mechanics are now much more mature, I'm removing betanium from the game. Quarries, conveyor belts etc. no longer require it and it will no longer spawn.
- Gameplay: Adjusted the map generation parameters. Maps are a bit bigger but there is more ocean. Also the islands are biased to be a bit more square. In effect, cases where the land (almost) touches the edge of the map are reduced and more of the map is buildable.
- Gameplay: Shipping ports can now operate in "automation mode". While in automation mode, the shipping port will ignore import stockpiles. Instead, it will import what exit hoppers placed on the port want. Forever. Added two new warnings to help explain how it works and prevent problems.
- Gameplay: Inserters no longer deliver to tiles where something is being constructed.
- Audio: Added more sound effects. Also, ambient noises from animals are now less loud.
Misc
- Modding: Added the no-production-target map modifier.
- Modding: You can now overwrite existing localization strings via modding.
- Modding: Added the parameters SpawnerInfo→FixedRotation, BirdInfo→NextTargetMaxDistance and BirdInfo→RecalculationThreshold.
- UI: Made the mod list in the main menu scrollable.
- UI: Added indication arrows which show where inserters pick up and drop stuff. Also applying it to a couple of other objects like depot hoppers.
- Misc: You can now debug-remove single items by holding alt while clicking on the encyclopedia button in the info panel.
- Misc: Updated to Unity 2018.4.14f1.
- Misc: Added some more helpful error messages and metrics.
