Terrain FPS:

This build addresses Terrain issue by providing a setting for terrain tessellation.

Tessellation is deactivated by default, and the parameters have been tweaked.

Tell me if some of you want a high setting!

On my PC I go from 52fps to 66fps with tessellation, and 71fps without tessellation.

Some more fixes are needed, but they will be much, much heavier to do.

Workshop and blueprints in Survival

Due to popular request I am adding the ability to spawn blueprints in survival using the shipyard block.

To not break the game progression it is required to provide the necessary bricks the ship is made of.

To that end you will need to connect the shipyard to your inventory network, and start stockpiling bricks.

Current workshop status:

It will feel empty for now despite the 4000+ blueprints!

This update requires a change to how blueprints are stored (the metadata now include the list of all bricks), so you will need to wait for every builder to re-upload their ship.

Also survival share is optional, as most ship on the workshop do not include fuel or life support.

So please wait a bit for the "survival workshop" to start to fill!

Community Suggestion:

  • #7506 Assembler schematic search now includes brick sub-shapes.

Bugfixes:

  • #7523 Creative building tutorial can no longer appear in survival starts.

  • #7505 Mining scrap issue / Rare issue when inventory auto-pushes items

  • #7485 Scrap pulling from assembler can fail

  • Shipyard bounds gizmo now plays the brick stretch SFX when resized.

  • #7503 #7502 Hovercraft dock can cause terrain base to lift off

Thanks for playing!
