Hello Colonists! The game just received more improvements!

Construction searchbar

Before the update, the construction menu had a simple "filter" which was just filtering the currently selected category. This update improves the system by allowing users to search items in all categories and showing a preview of the categories found.

Expert docking

Players asked for faster conveyor belts for docking, since it was slowing down resource transfer. Currently, there are 3 docking levels available: - default - can transfer electricity only - advanced - can transfer electricity and water; has faster conveyor belts - expert - can transfer electricity, water, and gas; provides the fastest conveyor belts

New tutorials

The tutorial bot got improved with better interactions and new tutorials.

Improvements

• Expert docking station added to the game
• Construction SEARCH is now providing results for all categories
• Camera for interactions can now move, this should make selection for logic blocks (sensors, deciders) easier
• Tutorial bot screen interaction + swap
• Hotbar start with 3 elements, allowing players to configure their hotbars easier I believe this change will help to understand that items from the construction menu can be dragged
• A new tutorial about recycling
• New hotkeys in the settings - next item, previous item, next category
• Resource quantity shows a million symbol if the number gets large M+ 25M+

Fixes

• Fixed shared technologies syncing when the player is joining
• Decider only updates the ON/OFF state when it has a signal; it fixes the issue where no signal would disable the logic blocker
• The upgraded smelter is now checking the iron bar recipe and activating iron bar+; the same is true for copper bar and copper bar+
• Upgraded device keeps inventory sensor link
• Fixed issue where radial menu would not turn on animal capture
• Fixed multiplayer issue where client would not have voxel collision after station undocking
• Construction of the blueprint (imported) requires all items to be unlocked to construct
• Fixed an issue where the blueprint designer would not allow removing locked objects.
• Fixed issue where Player Host would have wrong Tech Tree assigned after client join (invalid universe ID)
• Fixed issue where some first generated planets for clients in another universe would appear empty
