0.301.101 - Universe Update (Pre-Release 3)

New Launcher Notice

There is a new launcher available, which is required to run StarMade versions 0.3. You can obtain this new launcher one of two ways:

Via the new launch option on Steam
Via the GitHub releases page

Please note that while this launcher is still a work in progress, it does still support current release versions of StarMade as well.

System Changes

Armor HP Armor HP has been re-added to the game. Armor HP reduces incoming damage significantly, with the percentage of damage blocked decreasing as Armor HP is reduced. By default, damage will start to bleed through armor starting at <80% AHP. In future, this value will be modifiable via chambers. These values need testing, so we encourage players to try out the new system and report feedback in the StarLoader Discord.

New Tutorial System

A new tutorial system is being worked on. This new system replaces the old outdated video tutorials, and will eventually include guides on all aspects of the game, and will even allow mods to add their own tutorials. While the backend for this system is mostly done, we are asking the community to help contribute their knowledge to this in order to provide a more robust, accurate, and helpful guide for new players. If you are interested in contributing to these tutorials, head over to the StarLoader Discord.

New Shops

New Shop entities have been added. These new shops are much fancier than the old ones and come in two variants:

Trade Station (Advanced Shop): Comes with docks and a shopkeep spawn block.
Trade Outpost (Standard Shop): Does not have docks or a shopkeep, and is shorter than a Trade Station.

Additionally the default player spawn positions have been updated to reflect these new shops.

Misc. Changes

Screenshots and Gifs are now saved in the StarMade/screenshots folder.
Saved build hotbars can now be cycled through by holding Left-Alt and using the scroll wheel in creative mode.

Bug Fixes

Fixed map waypoint icon selection.

A voxel-based 3D sandbox set in the never-ending darkness of space. Create your own ships, explore new galaxies, stars and planets. Discover and salvage space stations, fight against pirates or opposing factions in multiplayer. Equip your ships with completely customisable weapons and conquer the galaxy. Trade and make a fortune, mass produce materials in gigantic factories. Design your very own space station. Create warp gates and network the universe at your front door.

The universe is a vast, mystical, beautiful, awe-inspiring place.... the universe is yours.

Built for scalability to facilitate massive fully interactable objects, almost anything is possible. Gameplay elements have been skillfully constructed to bring the ultimate space sandbox experience.

Dive into your own unique universe, and choose your path.

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.
Community multiplayer (dedicated servers) - Play with others in our community hosted servers. Our configs allow administrators to customise core game mechanics for a tailored experience. Most settings can be tweaked to squeeze the best performance out of hardware.
Platform independent (Windows, Linux, Mac) - StarMade is completely platform independent. We support the three most widely used operating systems.
Free to play in alpha - We offer the full game free to play while in alpha development. Play our game through this period for free while in return we receive invaluable feedback and bug reports.
