Curiosity Rover:

  • A new UI in the laptop where you can control the rover

  • The rover is programmable, you can choose between forward, backward, left, right, analyze.

  • Commands can be stacked so you can execute up to 20 commands

  • Analyzing the ground can give you science data, like chemical elements that can be converted to resources as credits, electronics, transmitters, etc.

  • Rover detects radiation and temperature, higher radiation means there is something hidden somewhere. Closer you are higher radiation.

Radio:

  • UI changes

  • You now can remove or add a radio from the game.

  • Generated JSON file in the save folder will stay, so you can do it from there too.

Fixes:

  • Observatory shader too dark when lights off

  • Alpha channel rendered before the fog causing graphical black spots at distance.

  • Sun shafts are now connected with the fog

  • Fog and Sun Shaft resolution is connected to volumetric effects. In 1.7.1 the fog resolution was around Medium, so High and Ultra can cause you a FPS drop

The final version will include also more signal variety and some Event Signals Known issues

  • Rover wheel detection can sometimes rotate in wrong direction, after the rover is stopped it will reposition ( It is vary rare, but possible )

  • Rover start position is wrong - there is a button to reset its position.
