Station Outlines, Landing Zone Fixes and Two Desyncs

Improvements

  • Hovering a structure outlines its whole station, following the slope of Triangle Armor Blocks
  • A mobile station that can't go on says why: waiting for a free landing zone, no zone with that name, or zone blocked. The landing zone panel lists its stations
  • Alt view shows what a cargo hold contains
  • The Plasma Bolt tooltip shows its damage
  • Selecting a mass driver lights its whole network in one brighter colour
  • Every ship and bot explodes at one small size, buildings bigger
  • The comet's thin pink tail curves with the main tail
  • Lumin Orbs glide into your ship like research drops
  • Power and stability warning icons no longer blink on a brief dip

Fixes

  • Reduces the long session crash: health bars no longer feed it
  • A nearly full inventory could desync a multiplayer game
  • Miner bots left by a removed station could desync a multiplayer game
  • Loading an old save could crash on a broken station connection
  • A landing zone could stay blocked by a station that was destroyed or sent away
  • Renaming one of several landing zones with the same name sent every station to it
  • Saving a paused single player game failed with no file
  • On old saves the Ancient Guardian lost its swarm
  • Ships gave up on a target that had healed between fights
  • A client's hotbar reset after a rejoin, a kick or a host change
  • Quick craft asked for items your construction bots were already carrying
  • Impact effects landed behind bolts and beside moving ships
  • Unit squares on the map and minimap turned with the unit
  • With crafting cost lowered, the craftable count was far too high
  • Research stations alone raised the low resources warning
  • A Plasma Bolt click also selected the building under it
  • A High Energy Mass Driver waiting to fire flashed "Add Capacitors"
