EDIT 2: Now version 0.3.1.2 - Build 115191
Today’s hotfix is a small one as well. Integrated objects like the HUB Biomass Burners and Terminal can no longer be copied via the middle mouse button. The instances of all the integrated HUB objects that have already been built should also be dismantlable now.
We are looking into a bunch more fixes, but I want to take a moment and talk about two issues in particular:
The creatures that are respawning in factories are the result of reworking the respawn system, which was not functioning properly before Update 3. We are still working on adjusting this system, so bear with us while we identify all the cases in which creatures should or shouldn’t respawn, and make sure these cases are covered. The flying buggers in factories might be a different issue though. We are looking into it.
Some people’s Water Extractors also stopped functioning in one of the later updates. This is due to us changing the Water Volumes (not the actual graphics but an invisible volume that dictates where you can swim and place the Water Extractors). Those changes are necessary, but we are currently tweaking how the Water Extractors know that they are connected to water, so they don’t stop functioning if we adjust Water Volumes in the future.
BUG FIXES
- Integrated objects such as the HUB Biomass Burners can no longer be copied and built
- Non-dismantlable objects that have been created by copying integrated HUB objects can now be dismantled
EDIT: Now version 0.3.1.1 - Build 115086
Yesterday’s patch didn’t fix the issues with transporting fluids via Trains, so we hope that this hotfix takes care of that. There could be edge cases that we have overlooked. If you continue to run into issues when using Trains to haul fluids across the map, let us know.
Hi Pioneers!
After the hotfixes from last week, here is the first bigger update with fixes and improvements to Update 3. This includes several quality of life features we hope you will be excited about, some balancing changes outside of recipes (your factories are safe for the moment), a little bit of polish, and a whole lot of bug fixes. Check out the full list of changes below.
Your posts and feedback on the new questions site have been very helpful, thank you very much! The new site has more features to help us react to posts and update them as we fix stuff, so if you haven’t checked it out yet consider giving it a go.
