Finally! It works!
It was very complex task and it took much more time than we expected, but hope you will like these new modules.
Besides that, we gain extremely important experience while developed this feature.
The change log may seem quite small, as for 2-month update, however the first 4 items in the list was very hard to implement.
The reason, why it took so long, because earlier the architecture of the game does not suppose to have ships which consist from more than 1 physical object. Earlier 1 ship = 1 physical object, and for example, if two containers belong to the same physical object - it means they belong to the same ship and you may transfer cargo between them, control them, connect its connectors to each other etc.
But now, second parts of rotors and pistons and everything what attached to it - it is another physical object. So the ship which have one rotor or piston now consist from 2 physical objects, however the previous architecture thought that it is two different ships, as result, you cannot transfer or setup anything between those two parts. You can't even save entire ship, instead, it will save only selected part.
Another complex task which was solved it is find a way how to update physical joints when a ship losses its modules and splits on smaller parts.
So, in order to solve those problems, we made a lot of changes in many key systems, and now it works!
Also, the situation with docking port was similar with rotors and pistons. As result, now when you going to save specific ship, it will be saved and loaded with all docked ships. It may be useful for large carriers.
Another important feature, now you can build docking port right on top of existed docking port. So now it is much more convenient to build new ships.
However, despite we solved a lot of main bugs, there is still a lot of them. The system is too complex to solve all bugs at once. Besides, we worked on this update too long, time to release it when it became stable.
Icons changes its size depending on zoom factor
Also, the new system so complex, so we don't have a time to adapt new system for multiplayer. So, rotor and pistons completely does not works for multiplayer and probably causes bugs.Also, since we made many changes in core systems, previously saved files is not supported.
