changedTutorial and User interface
addedModule Rotation Hints added in a simple z/c hint on the cursor while placing directional modules to indicate directionality
addedTitanium Clarity Something I noticed playtesters consistently hitting was an inability to collect titanium ore from the asteroid field. i've created an update to the tutorial system which introduces players to the Searching behavior at the same time that they are introduced to the component lab for clarity. I've also added a greater spawn rate of titanium ore to work with.
removedResource Selection Precision Resources near the station footprint were not able to be clicked because the station footprint itself took precedence. it no longer does this.

  2. Titanium Clarity

    1. Something I noticed playtesters consistently hitting was an inability to collect titanium ore from the asteroid field. i've created an update to the tutorial system which introduces players to the Searching behavior at the same time that they are introduced to the component lab for clarity. I've also added a greater spawn rate of titanium ore to work with.

Construction and Station

  1. On Station Storage

    1. Repaired a bug which would fail to eject resources into space in some cases.

  2. Resource Selection Precision

    1. Resources near the station footprint were not able to be clicked because the station footprint itself took precedence. it no longer does this.

Controls

  1. Scroll zoom direction

    1. everyone has been asking for the scroll zoom to be inverted by default. so now it is! enjoy :)

All this, as well as miscalleneous backend code cleanup and minor refactoring to keep the gravitational engine running smoothly. see you in the next one! dave :)
