0.50.0.45

Your Own Lumin Orbs, Build Sounds Where They Happen, and a Sharper Map

Improvements

  • Lumin Orbs are per player. Every orb anyone picks up adds one to each player's balance, and you spend your own at the Oracle. Oracle upgrades, Plasma Bolt damage included, level up only the buyer. A new player starts with the crew's total
  • Building and deconstructing sounds play where the building is, not in everyone's ears. The Oracle level-up jingle plays only for the buyer
  • The zoomed-out map draws at your screen's resolution, so its labels are sharp, and clicks on it land under the cursor everywhere, not only near the centre
  • Mass drivers on a grid that can pay one pulse at a time take turns instead of all browning out and never launching
  • The power panel shows peak demand against max delivery. A mass driver the grid can never pay gets a warning and a low-power icon, and its hover says why it's waiting
  • In multiplayer only the host can stop inserters, stop construction bots or hide the fleet, since those apply to everyone. Before, two players flipping one could see it flip back

Fixes

  • After loading a multiplayer game, ships of players who weren't connected sat in the world with nobody flying them. They're now parked until their player rejoins
  • A parked player's ship could still be seen and shot by enemies, and on return it took all the damage queued while away
  • Plasma Bolt could stop working for a client after a resync: the button lit up and nothing fired. Fleet abilities and Afterburner misbehaved the same way
  • Plasma bolts and their hits now start at the ship you see, not just the drawn bolt
  • Hiding cargo drones could desync the player who hid them. It now only hides them on your screen
  • Starting a new game leaked graphics memory from the fog of war
