1.0 Build 24
New Station Controls, Wardens at Defense Platforms and Crash Hunting
Fixes
Closing the in-game menu in a multiplayer game no longer switches VSync off and back on in one frame. A Linux client crashed right after that switch. We haven't proven that was the cause; if it still crashes, the report now tells us more
A rare Windows crash while the world updates now writes what went wrong into the crash report and closes the game, instead of crashing with no clue. It isn't fixed yet; if it happens to you, please send the report
A heat transmitter cools a structure that's already hot, instead of only keeping it from getting hotter
A mass driver set to a tile on a station keeps its target when the station lands facing another way, and so do buildings built from ghosts riding the station
Gatling Rounds and Advanced Gatling Rounds glow on belts like other ammo
Windows' bottom edges have the same padding as their sides, and the red "name not allowed" text is readable
The Comet Catcher tooltip says it attaches directly to a Comet Harvester
The Oracle voice line plays once per save
The commands that skip every objective now need cheats on
Improvements
Station controls are a slim column at the bottom left, with a Hide button for the panels
Wardens can be requested at a Defense Platform, and a Warden costs 3 Low Density Structure instead of 5 Medium Density Structure
Each Oracle you reveal costs 3 more Lumin Orbs than the last: 3, then 6, then 9
A new Free Build game starts with 50 Spawner Chests and 50 Trash Cans
The Crafting window's Combat tab shows one row per kind of item
Clicking a Duplicator artifact opens Station Grid Information
Performance
With VSync on and a fixed-refresh screen, uncapped frame rates judder less: the game steps VSync to a steady rate when it can't keep up
