This update aims to address many of the bugs and concerns introduced by previous updates. We want to assure you that we are working to fix these issues, and we have adopted a new development pipeline and standards to cut down on bugs introduced in the future. We want to apologize for the recent troubles and these new standards and procedures should address these issues.

Feature Changelog:

Added a sound effect for transporter modules being activated.

API Changelog:

Added an event for when an entity changes its faction.
Added a new directory for locally installed mods that will take priority over downloaded ones. This should fix many of the duplicate mod issues that were present before.
Added mod-specific logging so that each mod gets its own log (moddata/modname/logs/modname_log.0.log) writable through the StarMod class. We want to encourage developers to use this new logging system instead of outputting to the main console. This way, it will be easier to debug mod specific issues without having to comb through large global log files.
Moved persistent object logging to its own file (moddata/modname/logs/persistent_objects.0.log) for each mod separate from the mods main log. This should cut down on the I/O spam issue that many servers had and reduce lag.

Bug Fixes:

Fixed bug that caused AI turrets not to fire on targets even if set on aim at selected and they would only fire at entities from an enemy faction.
Fixed transporters not being activatable by logic.
Fixed transporters not being activatable by decorative consoles.
Fixed normal and emissive textures for new blocks.
Fixed icon outlines for new blocks.
Fixed bug causing some icons for modded blocks to be mismatched.
Fixed output width being ignored on cannon combinations without a conical damage pattern.
Fixed coil blocks having incorrect orientations.
Fixed gravity exit module being hidden in the creative menu.
Fixed thruster blocks not being controllable through decorative consoles.

Known Issues:

Temporarily disabled adjust cockpit feature due to a game breaking bug that would lock all other players out of their controls.
Some normals still need adjustments, but we felt it was important to get these fixes out.

Key Features:

Procedurally generated infinite universe, with quadrillions of galaxies - The universe is massive. It'd take approximately 10,000 years to cross from one end to the other! Singleplayer and Multiplayer worlds can be heavily customised with our extensive config options.
Developed for scalability- We have a broad range of graphical and performance options that cater to our low-end users as well as those with heavy rigs and servers.
Advanced Build Tools - Powerful and easy to use building tools, quickly design awesome ships, stations and bases. Including functions: Copy & paste, undo, redo, replace, symmetry modes, shape assistance systems (spheres, cycles, torus and more) and rotation of templates.
Modular Weapon Systems - Combine weapon systems for countless configurations of weapons. From sniper beams to swarm missiles.
Comprehensive Rail & Logic Systems - Use the rail system to build moving parts. You can do anything from simple elevators, sliding or rotating doors, to complex cranes.

Tinker with our logic systems to control any system in the game, be it weapons, lights, rails, or explosives. Logic covers all basic gate types for convenient use (AND, OR, NOT, DELAY, Flip-Flop), allows in flight control and wireless connections between entities. You can use it for simple things like timers, switches, buttons. Or, build complex systems like working clocks and even a real CPU.

Platform independent (Windows, Linux, Mac) - StarMade is completely platform independent. We support the three most widely used operating systems.
