Stationeers Dev Tracker

This hotfix adds the recipe for Astroloy sheets to the Autolathe, fixes some issues with plant interactions, and fixes the oxygen tank sometimes not spawning on Venus.

Changelog v0.2.4945.22690

• Fixed Some plant interactions didn't complete on clients (harvest action would fail when a plant of the same type was already in hand)
  
• Fixed Couldn't harvest switchgrass when a hay item was in hand.
  
• Fixed one way pipe valves placement cursor was one grid too high
  
• Fixed digital flip flop splitter from having quantity increment indefinitely when output is blocked
  
• Added missing recipe for astroloy sheets to autolathe
  
• Fixed new one way pipe valves having incorrect smart rotate setup.
  
• Fixed OxygenTank would some-times not spawn on brutal start in Venus. This was due to spawnDatas positionRule defaulting to None when none was specified. Changed to default to Random.

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

We have multiple smaller additions to the game this week, while we polish the larger upcoming work we've done on tutorials and additional LArRE mechanics.

Reinforced Walls
Joining the reinforced window, there is now a reinforced wall, and both now exist on the reinforced wall kit. To make them more practical in dangerous areas, such as rocket silos and furnace rooms, the pressure they can withstand has been increased significantly. The new reinforced wall can withstand a pressure of 10 MPa, and the reinforced window has been increased from 1 MPa to 8 MPa. The wall damage rate is not just a linear interpolation of the over pressure amount, but instead it is related to the percentage of over pressure. This means these walls should give you a fair amount of (literal) extra breathing room while your based explodes around it.

A New System
The Stationeers team often plans updates around polishing and iterating on features and systems that either need the most amount of work to be fun, or conversely, the most fun systems that can be expanded to have even more gameplay. Well, today is an example of us adding a cool new feature, that wasn't explicitly required, but fits the game well by allowing cool new structure system that can interact with other aspects of the game.



LARrE, the Linear Articulated Rail Entity is a track mounted robotic arm. The arm moves from its dock along placed tracks towards station track pieces, which are addressable by their index. When activated, it behaves just like a Harvie, picking up, or putting down an item, or for plants, harvesting fruit, or seeds, and clearing the crop if it's not harvest able. Other than planter trays, LARrE is currently onl... Read more

Starting Gear Selection
Continuing off the work of the last few patches that have updated the basic survival and starting aspects of Stationeers, we've created a new flow to world creation, where you get to select and see what starting conditions your new world will have. We see this as a distinctly different choice over the general difficulty, that largely influences the first dozen hours of your gameplay.



This new screen not only lets you choose, but also shows the gear in a straight forward and not overwhelming manner. Hovering over the lander crates will show you all nested information as a tool tip, but for more complex containers, you can expand them to better investigate their contents.

Mod-ability and steam workshop support was a focus from the start. Any workshop starting conditions subscribed to will automatically appear in the sele... Read more

New crate equipment
The team has spent the last two weeks playing the first few hours of the game over and over. To new players who had their hands held in the tutorials, the reality of Stationeer's scope really sets in when you finally spawn alone on a world with no instructions, and a full lander waiting in front of you.

The crates serve as a means of encouraging the player to focus on one task. Throughout the years of development, as we added new content, or found an issue players needed more help on, we used up all the free slots in the crates, and sometimes put items in the 'wrong' crate just because it could fit.

We've made sure to split out the crates into more tidy packages to inspire you to use all of them to build different solutions to the problems in your base. To aid in still keeping the options and content straightforward, we've added some single use cardboard boxes which contain multiple items for a task. For example, the portable gas fueled g...

More Stuff, Faster
In the near future we'll revisit kitchens and cooking, but currently we are working on several other aspects of the larger survival updates including new suits, jetpacks, and starting equipment. Instead of hoarding all of the new content for one massive cooking update, we’ve decided to add some of it into the current system, so players can grow some new plants, and craft some new foods in the meantime.

New Plants: Sugarcane and Cocoa

Cocoa plants like a warm environment, and while a dedicated room isn't necessary, the ideal growth temperatures of some normal plants may conflict, leading to some plants growing slower depending on your grow room temperature. Cocoa plants harvest into cocoa pods, which can be used in the reagent processor to create cocoa powder.

Sugarcane plants grows much like wheat and harvests into sugarca... Read more
