World physics update
[ 2023-12-28 07:47:32 CET ] [ Original post ]
Gameplay changes
- Implemented scalable collisions between planets and ships
- Entities (items and player) now fully collides and interacts (including gravity) with all planets and ships around it, rather than being a background decoration and needing to "switch" to it.
- Sounds can now fully be heard from planets and ships nearby
- Dropped items does not automatically stack anymore
- Made it so changing the primary action button in the settings does not affect the UI
- Slightly improved the behaviour of the vacuum gun when throwing items
Performance
- Reduced overall memory consumption by about 60~70%
- Improved performance of dropped items when there is a large number of it
Bug fixes
- Fixed memory leaks happening when reloading saves without restarting the game
- Fixed rare crash when quitting the game and many others related to audio processing and multi threading
- Fixed crash when docking to a planet
- Fixed crash when getting out of a ship and colliding with a planet during the same frame
- Fixed game crashing when using keyboard buttons unknown to GLFW
- Fixed memory leak related to displaying fruits in the inventory
- Fixed many tiles that did not drop anything
- Fixed many tiles that did not have build/dig sounds
- Fixed another crash happening when the player is exactly at position 0,0, because there is no gravity
- Fixed some tiles that could be instantly researched
- (partially) Fixed camera stuttering when jumping between worlds and ships
Misc
- Changed the architecture of the physics engine
- Many other codebase refactorings

You wake up some day as a robot with no memories in an unknown star system. To understand what happened, you will have to explore the area, but you have no working spaceship!![]()
Before exploring the area, you will need a working starship. Unfortunately, yours is beyond repair, so you will have to gather whatever resources and technologies you can find on this planet.![]()
You won't fly very far with your bare hands (do you?), so in order to progress you will need a base to build factories and automated farms. With systems made with gears and powered by steam, you will have to be creative.![]()
In Astral Divide, you can make anything into a spaceship and fly with it wherever you like. There are no artificial borders between the worlds and no loading times either.![]()

Find resources
Before exploring the area, you will need a working starship. Unfortunately, yours is beyond repair, so you will have to gather whatever resources and technologies you can find on this planet.
Automate your base
You won't fly very far with your bare hands (do you?), so in order to progress you will need a base to build factories and automated farms. With systems made with gears and powered by steam, you will have to be creative.
Build and fly anything you want
In Astral Divide, you can make anything into a spaceship and fly with it wherever you like. There are no artificial borders between the worlds and no loading times either.
