Stationeers Dev Tracker

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

We have been working hard at our reworking of Rockets, but we have removed those changes from this build as they aren't ready, but we wanted to get out changes to the character controller and particularly fixes to the Linux Dedicated server. There is really a lot of different things in this updates so even some really good changes are glossed over outside of a brief mention in the changelog.

Camera and Character Movement For a long time players have requested fixes for the dreaded "getting stuck on corners". This update features a complete rework of the colliders and rigidbodies for controlling the character. In the test scene the character easily got stuck on things before the changes, and after the update there was zero getting stuck on things. We anticipate those frustrated with this in the past will find this much better.

We've enhanced the player's camera movement once again in an effort to further minimize stuttering. Additionally, we've made a series of refine... Read more

While we do regularly do playtests, it can be easy in the hustle and bustle of chasing down bugs or working on big features for the team to miss the full experience of playing the game. So we initiated a "project clinic". Think of this like taking the project to the Doctors, and then treating as much as possible right then and there, and scheduling followups with specialists for anything you can't. So the project has had all it's shots, and a whole heap of a lot of little things fixed and tidied up.

The rise of our "Interop" Layer Our "interoperability" layer is used for the first time to deploy a new version of "RocketNet", our internal multiplayer technology For our playtest we played extensively with both SteamP2P and dedicated servers, with up to eight of us playing at any one time.

Our IC system somewhat loosely models MIPS "instructions". So its like a small virtual processor and you define instructions that you want to run. This update includes some new instructions, a breaking change to one set of instructions, and some feature improvements to the IC editing system. In addition or as part of these updates number bugfixes and optimizations have been added to the IC system itself as well as the editor.

Predictive Instruction Help in IC Editor If what you have typed matches an instruction, the editor will include helpful information in the background to assist you in formatting the instruction correctly.


Variable and Constant changes New IC Constants A variety of new constants can now be added to your code. These will resolve as numbers, but can remain in your script for ease of use. Think of these as "special" numbers the pro... Read more
