Base Building System Improvements

Transformation Cube

I added a preview cube to the foundation placement panel that shows which shortcut to use to rotate an element in the correct direction.

Foundation Coloring

I added the ability to assign any color to foundations using sliders. Colored foundations no longer require 3 different materials and now only require regolith.

Copying Color and Pattern Settings

In the building interface or while coloring foundations, pressing the K shortcut copies the settings of the selected foundation, including:

• color,

• pattern,

• HSV settings.

This shortcut can be changed in the key bindings settings.

Moving Structures

I added the ability to move structures. You no longer need to demolish them to rearrange your base.

After entering Building Mode: Default (RMB) and then selecting the Buildings icon, you can move structure.

Aim at a building with the crosshair and press M (move) to relocate it.

• LMB — confirms the new building position

• RMB — cancels moving

Other Improvements

1. I disabled the crafting log when opening the base, ship, fleet, or asteroid panel.

2. I sorted captured asteroids near pirate bases.

3. In production, I rearranged the +1, +10, +100 etc. buttons so they no longer jump upward when selecting an amount.

4. I added a notification when the ship you are currently in gains a level.

5. The base defense mission, which requires building a laser tower, has been split into 2 stages:

• Stage 1 — requires building 2 power plants and supplying the base with more than 40 units of energy

• Stage 2 — requires building a defense tower

1. The attack on the main base is now triggered only when:

• you build a defense tower,

• you complete the mission to produce 500 rounds of ammunition,

• you build a fighter ship.

1. Colored signals now appear only after the same conditions are met:

• building a defense tower,

• completing the mission for 500 rounds of ammunition,

• building a fighter ship.

Previously, there was a chance that a colored signal could spawn too close to the base before the player had proper defenses. In that case, enemy ships could arrive too early and destroy the base.
