Graphics

• Applied LUT color correction to new explosions.

Sounds

• Transport belts - high frequencies reduced.
• Train - pitch scaling reduced and sound levels remixed (Work in Progress).
• Inserters lowered in level slightly (Work in Progress).
• Compilatron muted as it was too annoying.
• Removed scrollbar GUI click sound.

Changes

• Overwriting a save file will show a confirmation if the selected save has more playtime on it than what you are about to save. more

Graphics

• Improved map colors by adding specific colors to beacons, pipes, heat pipes, roboports and steam engines.

Sounds

• New or updated sound effects include:
• Pump, pumpjack, boiler, heat pipe, offshore pump, substation.
• Logistic and construction robots, roboport.
• Train.
• Rocket takeoff sequence.
• Car and tank (pitch scaling adjusted to sound more natural).
• All transport belts, splitters, inserters, assembling machines, power switch.
• Added some UI sounds that were missing.
• Shotgun, small explosions.
• Entity destroyed alert.
• New sound tech includes:
• Listener position set to centre of screen by default. This will allow you to hear what you see even when in map mode.
• The ability to turn off the Doppler effect in Lua, used for the Substation so far.
• environment-audible-distance setting increased to 30 so you can hear entities ...

There is a technology to unlock the MIRV item

Oh well would you look at that:

Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.

It would not be 'major', it would be things like:

• removing the logistic slot technologies
• removing API methods related to reading and setting the slot count
• removing old GUI styles
• changing some GUI style definitions

Then all mod authors will need to update all their mods all the time, rather than a few mod authors having to update on the rare occasion that during the experimental release of our unfinished game a piece of the game data or API has changed to make their mod not load.

Unfortunately the ideals of our versioning system don't always align with the practicalities of shipping a game.

I actually have my own that I wrote for personal use: https://gitlab.com/wheybags/zfs_scripts

However, we will probably just be using rsync for backups, since we still intend to use a pair QNAP nases as a backup targets, since we've got the hardware already. It's not ideal, but at least it's just for backups. And if one of them fails, we can still read the drives using the other one.

Changes

• Train stop at train's starting segment exit is no longer counted into penalty. more
• Inventory transfers mini-tutorial has been updated to feature the quickbar.
• Split the map editor sub-menu into more options so it's more clear when scenarios are copied and when they are edited directly.

Bugfixes

• Fixed replay gui covering tooltips. more
• Fixed tooltips in statistics window not showing force modifiers. ...

There is a separate recipe for the M.I.R.V item, you put that in a rocket

Having normal maps for all sprites would not be tiny

And all our players on laptops and older hardware would struggle with choppy gameplay, or not even be able to load at all depending on the VRAM requirement increases.

Oh yea

It shares no code or logic from LOIC, and they work in fundamentally different ways.

It used to be a little clunky to call down the nukes, so now it uses the artillery remote logic (which didn't exist 2 years ago when I first made the mod).

You can toggle the auto-target in the mod settings, along with whether to make pollution when it explodes or not (looks nice on the map too).

Internally now it uses a 'script trigger effect' which I added, which lets mods know when specific triggers happen, such as an artillery turret shooting at a nest.
