Gameplay/Balance - Gameplay: You can now load/grab items on/from up-going conveyor belts. - Gameplay: Recommendations now only show up when you have unlocked the buildings in question. - Gameplay: Substitutes should now count towards recommendations (e.g. the 3x3 horse station for the basic one). - Gameplay: Buildings you unlock on a map should now remain unlocked when you go to the next island. - Gameplay: Disabling an automatic production building will now also pause its progress (and not just prevent it from generating new jobs). - Gameplay: Increased map sizes to increase land mass by about 50%: Tiny=6475,Small=80100,Normal=100125,Big=112150,Huge=136175 - Gameplay: Shipping ports set to automated import will now balance the different goods it imports. If you have 2 exit hoppers set to accept 2 different goods, the port will now fill at most 50% of its storage with either good. - Gameplay: When you select a mining/transport robot, you can now disassemble it by pressing the wrecking-ball icon in the panel on the right. - Gameplay: Every actor now has a strength (default 1). If an item is heavier, then the actor will get slowed down while carrying it. - Balance: Reduced the scaling on the import/export prices. Modern building parts no longer sell for 900 coins. :) - Balance: Reduced the number of harvested dates per date tree 21. - Balance: You now start with 6 clay in your cargo. - Balance: Doubled the output rate of "useful stuff" from breaking down crushed bornite and carbonate. - Balance: Added 4 harvested wheat to the starting cargo. - Balance: Reduced the amount of ocean by ca. 1/3. - Balance: Reduced the density of enemy camps by ca. 1/3. - Balance: Slightly increased the radius of enemy camps. - Balance: Made the big enemies a bit stronger and decreased the overall number of enemies. - Balance: Beer now requires barley instead of wheat. Miscellaneous - Engine: Upgraded from Unity 2018 to 2019.4.10 - Misc: Tweaked the camera/map dragging movement a bit. - Misc: Disabling the UI now disables health bars. - Misc: Hiding the UI with F11 now also prevents thought bubbles and warning flags from showing up. - Misc: Added an ego-camera mode to the debug menu. It's not intended for actual play but you can use it for screenshots, video footage etc.. - Misc: Added three new warnings regarding shipping ports and automation mode. - Misc: Holding shift or control while changing a workshop job now suppresses the automatic filter update in connected stockpiles. (Alternatively you can disable assist mode in the settings) - Misc: The keys 0-3 now change the game speed (and no longer open the build menu). "B" is now the new hotkey for the build menu. - Misc: The debug remove function now also deletes items and betanium. - Modding/misc: When an object has multiple variations, the additional spawns will now get the same variations as the main spawn. - Modding: Deprecated some fields that were no longer used to avoid confusion: ItemInfoAssistUnload, HitpointInfoRegenPerSecond, CanOverlapBuildingInfo, DepotInfoTileLimitPerLogisticsTarget, WaveInfo, WorkshopRecipeInfoRequiredToolLevel (use ManualWorkshopInfoRequiredToolLevel). - Modding: You can now add parts that glow in the dark! The don't technically emit light onto other objects but they are unlit, meaning that they will shine at night. You can use this to add glowing windows to houses etc.. To do so you need to make a separate model and set its MaterialID to 2. Have a look at Lantern and LanternGlow as an example. - Modding: Removed a limitation that required every model frame to have at least one voxel. - Modding: AdditionalSpawns are now animated together with the main model during workshop production. Useful if parts of your production progress are glowing or transparent. (e.g. the smelter) - Modding: You can now set TerrainInfoPositionInWorld to a negative value to prevent that biome from spawning. - Modding: Added BuildingRecipeInfoUnlockWhenIngredientsNotPresent for research systems. - Modding: Added BuildingRecipeInfoBlueprintItems. In contrast to ingredients, blueprints are required to build something but will not be transported or consumed in the process. Use this if you want to make something like a building research system. - Modding: Added the CenterStack stacking option for the huge pizza. - Modding: You can now add job generation processes for custom tasks. Use this if you want to have fishermen or zen masters. Have a look at TaskGroupInfoAddJobGenerationProcess. Note: This can also be used to make the existing tasks more general or specific, e.g. by making a dedicated tree-planting task group. - Modding: Added ActorInfoAddTaskGroupsFromMods and TaskGroupInfoAddToDefaultColonists. Use these to add a task to vanilla colonists. - Settings: Added an option to disable lightning effects e.g. for players who are prone to visual-based seizures. - Settings: Added an option to disable warning flags, e.g. if you want to make warning-less screenshots. User interface - UI/Misc: Overly long description texts are now truncated in the info panel (you still get the full text in the tooltip). - UI: Added a confirmation dialog and a tooltip to removing ore veins/wells. - UI: Added a "place matching extraction building" to the vein/well panel. - UI: The combat task is no longer shown in the actor panel. - UI: Added the option "Don't use as stockpile" to stockpiles. Use this if you only want to use the stockpile as an output for a workshop. - UI: When placing a building with a range, the area covered by the new building is now easier to see. - UI: Added a hint to the build menu when you have not unloaded any building materials yet. - UI: Encyclopedia: Hovering over a workshop recipe, a "used to produce" or "produced in" section now shows a tooltip with the corresponding inputs/outputs/time. - UI: When selecting a building that produces/consumes energy, there is now a panel that informs you about this. - UI: Added a resolution selection screen to the game. Unfortunately the previous launcher that allowed you to change resolution & keybindings got removed by Unity. If something goes wrong with the new settings, you can always delete or modify the resolution.ini file in your save game folder. - UI: High money amounts should are now shown as #.#k or #k coins. Performance - Performance: Migrated the wind system to ECS. - Performance: Migrated the nav graph height adaptation to ECS. - Performance: Migrated the bird/fish behaviour to ECS. - Performance: Fixed things getting costly shadows even if they should not. - Performance: Removed empty space from some voxel models.

A simple and dirty fix for mysterious bugs beyond human comprehension. - Fixed: You can now place buildings over non-reserved items again. - Fixed: The electronics factory no longer requires a refined building part (circular dependency).
