v0.5.047 Rolling Updates for August

Thank you for all the suggestions and reports.

Many of these improvements came directly from forum posts and in-game F1 feedback. Thank you for helping make MoteMancer better!

v0.5.047

• Fixed tutorial corner disappearing because ancient spindles made the game think you visited a second plane when you got near a Planar Portal

• Solar Extension now lengthens peak solar generation for 1 hour on either side instead of changing the falloff curve

• Planar Reliquaries can now be moved with the pipette (Q)

• Fixed altar effects sometimes showing up when no researches are active

v0.5.046

• Portals should now properly mask particles FX, please report any specific structure bugs if you find them.

Quality of Life

• Fire Wire and Thermal Towers can now start a line from an existing placement.

• Fire Wire and Thermal Towers will place at the furthest possible back coordinate if blocked from a max range placement.

• Belt directions can be replaced from a ghost even with a stack count of 0.

• Belts can now be mass-replaced in place with Shift click. The Belt will preview before placement. Any belt can change to any other belt. Placement will query the hovered tile and adjacent tile to determine the mask for replacement. Belts will place downstream first and upstream using the default input second, limited by the amount of items held in your inventory.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Mana Root colors not updating when Mana Blooms connect power networks with Rampant Bloom

• Fixed a bug where the chest limiter state could be carried between chest windows

• Fixed grippers not resuming when items are removed from production inputs by hand

v0.5.045

• Improved localization across multiple languages, with a particular focus on Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. A special thank you to everyone who submitted reports and corrections. Your feedback was invaluable.

Tuning
