A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

The festive season is upon us, so it's high time we released update 1.10.5 for everyone waiting for the latest updates, content additions and bug fixes!

With this update, we're not only moving to a new version of Unity, but also adding goodies like AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2 and NVIDIA DLSS2. You can find some important information about these two new features in the changelog below. With the two technical changes also come a number of field optimisations that are very important for our multiplayer servers and their communities.

On the content side, we would like to present you the new models for constructors, deconstructors and other crafting devices, the new deco trees for interiors, a number of new and updated POIs (some of them with the new NPC model of the Brotherhood of Farr), some new building shapes, improvements to the tools for collecting blueprints and more.

Of course, version 1.10.5 also includes a list of bug fixes.

Changelog v1.10.5 B4257 2023-12-13
Changes:

• Updated Unity to 2022.3.8f1
  
• Added video options for AMD FSR2 and NVIDIA DLSS2. We have added support for AMD's FSR2 and NVIDIA's DLSS2 to our game, which can be found at the bottom of the video options in the options menu. These technologies work by using different methods to upscale lower resolution frames to higher resolution ones, while preserving and enhancing the details and sharpness of the original image. They can help you improve your performance and graphics quality, depending on your hardware, resolution, and scene complexity.
  We recommend using FSR2 or DLSS2 only with 4K or 2K resolutions, as these are the optimal settings for these technologies. Using FSR2 or DLSS2 with lower resolutions (for example 1080p & below) may result in blurry or pixelated images, as the upscaling process may not have enough information to work with. If you are using a lower resolution monitor or device, you may want to keep FSR2 or DLSS2 disabled and use the native resolution of your screen.
  Please note that FSR2 and DLSS2 have some limitations and trade-offs & DLSS2 only works on Nvidia RTX GPUs.
