Defining Success: Steam Achievements

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

Stationeers is a challenging game due to the depth of many of its mechanics. Much of this depth can be overlooked, as players just intuit what the complex simulation is doing as a natural expectation of real life. As you play more and more, and reach into the hundreds of hours, you start to understand the systems as they exist in game. You eventually master how to interact with the simulation and how the game systems interact with each other.

Achievements


So we've added achievements to Stationeers to highlight player accomplishments. The achievements generally represent large milestones players pass as they start or finish projects in their bases. However there are many which are more abstract milestones, or rights of passages, players encounter while playing the game; such as bursting a pipe, or cancelling an airlock cycle. We've avoided silly/goofy ones, so you wont need to be struck by lightning while riding a chicken on a Tuesday.

Notable Updates Performance Improvements Following on from the last bugfix update is a big project 'cleanup'. This involves removing unused or duplicated assets, ensuring that textures are imported and compressed correctly, and tweaking a few assets here and there. The result is that we've shaved off about 1.5 GB from the install size. We've also dramatically reduced the memory footprint of game. While we've taken care of most of the low hanging fruit there's still some obvious, though significantly more involved, areas where we can reduce resource usage.

Server List The server list has been having issues for some time now, frequently being down for short periods of time, and eventually crashing completely. After a complete rewrite of the server it is now far more responsive, and less prone to failure.

It is possible to change where Stationeers looks for it's master server, allowing communities to run their own server lists if they wish. This is done via the NetConfig.xml in the games StreamingAssets folder.
In the near future we plan on making the server list software available via a git repository so that communities that want their own personal server lists can do so. without writing their own one from scratch.

Upcoming LARrE Changes You may have noticed a large number of changes in the patch notes that refer to LARrE. These changes will not take affect in this update but are a work in progress for the next patch.

• Changed cargo larry current slot index logic type to 'TargetSlotIndex'.
  
• Added prefabs for arrow buttons and small info panels which will use the material changer anim component.
  
• Added material changer anim component to replace the existing material changer.
  
• Added material changer anim component to larry arms upper emissive strip.
  
• Swapped material changer anim component with a more lightweight script. Changed larry arms and docks to use this script instead.
  
• Updated larry hydroponics arm model.
  
• Updated Steam Achievement commands and implemented first steam achievement
  
• Deleted extra seed bag textures and material, and updated models and prefabs.
  
• Fixed wrong smoothing group on can mesh.
  
• Added steam clear all command for testing (editor only)
  
• Added Support to show devices that implement iProxySlot in Stationpedia.
  
• Fixed Some string allocation on LogicSlotReader and LogicBatchSlotReader tooltip methods.
  
• Changed Reallowed spawning of new LArRE Variants. LArRe variants now show up in Stationpedia.
  
• Added TargetPrefabHash LogicType to Cargo LArRE, this is shows the prefab hash of the device that LArRE will try to interact with.
  
• Added Cargo LArRe now has a Proxy Slot (index 255) that can be read from using the Slot Reader or LS command. This proxy slot points to the slot that LArRE will interact with on the Device that it is above (i.e if Cargo LArRE is above a locker the player can select which slot to proxy into by turning the setting wheel to change the TargetSlotIndex)
  
• Fixed arrow buttons on larry docks will now increment/decrement the target index more intuitively i.e. the arm will always move in the direction of the arrow.
  
• Fixed linear rail indices being incorrectly offset when you have two docks facing opposite ways.
  
• Changed a few variable names in RoboticArmNetwork.cs for clarity.
  
• Fixed SmartStow key-bind would trigger when typing G into an input window.
  
• Changed arm is stationary checks to use approximate comparison between current position and target index.
  
• Renamed larry's CurrentIndex to CurrentPosition to avoid confusion as it is a float.
  
• Fixed clients could see incorrect larry arm position after setting the starting dock
  
• Fixed issue where larry network generation was non deterministic which could cause arms to load in at the wrong index.
  
• Changed atmos larry filter slot name from 'Slot1' to 'Filter'.
  
• Fixed Error Spam from fertilised eggs when exiting game.
  
• Fixed Hydroponics Tray (non data variant doesn't block rail pieces).
  
• Added Proxy Slot to Hydroponics LArRE. Reading slot 255 will give you information about the slot that arm will interact with. TargetSlotIndex is exposed as a read only value on Hydroponics LArRE. This means that LArRE will be able to read the growth data from plants in standard and data Hydroponics Trays.
