Join the community on our Discord! Star System Overhaul Patch, We have gone through and updated all of the planets to use the new rendering tool. They should all be much more interesting to explore and build on. Additions:
Added parts: Light armor plating in 3 sizes and Medium armor plating in 3 sizes.
Added Christmas Tree room part (functions as a small storage and looks cozy).
Added Christmas Tree Loot Crate.
Added new roof panel art.
Added new part: HGas Fuel Tank 3X6.
Added panning camera for ships.
Added four modes to the camera (Cycle through camera modes with C).
Added loot spawns. (Crates (currently disguised as christmas trees) will spawn in certain areas on planets, open them using F to get a surprise!)
Changes:
Lowered pan distance and max zoom of player camera.
Gave the panning camera distance based smoothing.
Made the camera freeze it’s panning if you open menus.
Made the camera pan relative to zoom.
