Development Notes (v. EA 1.00.023)

In this patch, a number of items in the community backlog were fixed (see below). The biggest changes are the ability to play with metric units enabled, and the minimizing of the tutorial. See below for more details. Thanks for your patience -- we've been taking some time to investigate the feasibility of multiplayer -- and we'll let you know if we think we can pull it off. In the immediate future (possibly the next patch), we'll be looking to add fishing (on planets) to the game.

Thanks again to the (growing!) community (@matric, @onlyhow, @zzz, @aplethoraof, @Hoxtilicious!, @sirenderboy, @toker, @kilon, @tobugis, @godrow, @deexengima) -- hopefully soon we can start working on some more significant features.

New Features

• Players can now enable the display of metric units by going to the gameplay tab of the settings menu. The choice effects planet temperatures, blood temperatures, character height, and character weight.

• The tutorial can be minimized. Some players were having trouble seeing behind the tutorial, or closing it when they were done with reading it.

Polish

• The performance of opening & closing the map has been improved. It should open pretty quickly now.

• Stations no longer say "Cannot Land Here" when docked, they say "Docked".

Balance

• You can now heal \ cure space madness when visiting a store or space station that provides medical care.

• You can no longer heal a dead person back to life at a medical station \ store.

Bug Fixes

• After an end game and then a new game, in addition to resetting the tech tree, we now reset the print catalogue item selections as well (this was always the intent).

• Build 1.00.022 broke all of the space UI star \ planet trackers, they've been fixed now.

• Player markers no longer appear on the loading screen.
