Build 107

Smooth Station Landings, Save Screenshots and a Faster Deck HUD

Improvements

  • Mobile stations land smoothly: they ease in, turn onto the pad on the way and touch down softly
  • A Move stop can have a heading, and the station turns to it on the way
  • Inserter Bots, Cargo Barges and Mass Drivers keep working on a flying station, if the whole link is on it
  • Cleaner Command Core stop list, in a slightly wider window
  • Saves show a screenshot in the Load list
  • New view option Hide Flying Stations (F7), so you can click what's under one
  • Hovering a station's bot or barge outlines the station and its other bots and barges
  • Station Cores and Logistics Bays get per side priority levels, like junctions
  • Set Destination hotkey (Y, or X on Steam Deck), and valid targets in range get a blue marker
  • Damage and destroyed alerts stay up longer, and hovering one lists what it's about
  • Alt view icons get a darker round backdrop, and one product buildings like Greenhouses show their output
  • The "Too far away" hint stays in one spot, and far stations' Station Grid info opens
  • The Steam Deck HUD is a lot cheaper each frame, and the Technology window is ready right after loading
  • Comet Catchers' danger zone starts right at the mouth, so you can't build right in front of one
  • Overdrivers heat their station again for each active building they overdrive.

Fixes

  • In multiplayer, other players' ships explode the moment they die
  • No more hard-edged starfield squares past the fog when zoomed far out on the map
  • Fixed a crash when bots deconstructed a Requester Cargo Hold that Supply Bots were still filling
  • Ctrl+click transfers show one popup per item
  • A Cargo Barge riding a flying station takes its route arrows with it
  • "Copied" and "Pasted" text on the map scales with the map zoom
  • In-game bug reports with a long title now get through
