This page features all the experimental branch releases. Our experimental branch are usually updated multiple times a day and typically are perfectly safe to play, but you might want to back up your saves just in case we introduce a feature that will be changed during testing. Here are the changes since the last stable release:
# 1.49.1:
- Improved lighting shaders. This release features a new way to process lighting on objects in the game. It should have the same performance as before, but now it will remove some noise and shimmering artefacts when you view big, detailed entities (like moonlets) with your camera zoomed out.
Feedback Focus: Graphics, especially lighting effects. As this update features game-wide shader update, please be on the lookout for any graphical glitches. Please post screenshots of things that don't look right.
# 1.48.8:
- The interior of the space bar now properly blocks you from astrogating away and hides your exhaust and laser flares from the visual feed.
Feedback Focus: Release candidate. Please report anything working worse than in the current stable branch.
# 1.48.7:
- Fixed a bug that caused ore to vanish if your Nakamura-Titan Mining Companion left the detailed simulation range with cargo inside and then came back near your ship. In such cases, that cargo would vanish immediately after it left its cargo bay during the Cargo Transfer Protocol.
# 1.49.4:
- Made ore shiny again. A layer of dust covered most of the ore nuggets on your recon craft feed, making them quite dull, but our dedicated team of drones painstakingly cleaned them up to make them shiny again.
- Updated translations.
Feedback Focus: Still looking for feedback on the Nakamura-Titan Mining Companions.
# 1.48.6:
- Asteroid grinders are now better at grabbing (smaller) rocks and doing more damage. Success in grinding larger rocks still largely depends on their shape and your ability to get a good grip on them.
- Fixed line-of-sight in the Space Bar being rendered wrong in one of the corners if you got close enough.
- Picking up an entity with active transponder into your cargo bay will now immediately remove it from your pilots contact list.
Feedback Focus: Grinders.
# 1.48.5:
- NT Mining Companions that you ordered to return to Enceladus will not call you immediately back, inventing an excuse for why they are leaving.
- When you order a drone to dock to your ship, its tactical marker will disappear immediately after the docking is complete.
- You cannot hail mining companions that docked with you and powered down anymore.
- You can attempt to hail a ship or drone again that did not reply to you. Earlier, a lack of reply would lock you out from subsequent tries, even if that specific NPC had something to say later.
- Attempting to hail a Mining Companion just as you release it should not cause it to ignore you for 10 seconds anymore.
Feedback Focus: Still looking for feedback on Nakamura-Titan Mining Companions. This release also changes the way you communicate with other ships, so please be on the lookout for any other communication-related quirks.
# 1.48.4:
- Fixed POI descriptions overflowing the Astrogation window if you scrolled them by dragging the scrollbar with your mouse.
Feedback Focus: Still looking for feedback on Nakamura-Titan Mining Companions.
# 1.48.3:
- Fixed a cradle-related memory leak introduced in 1.47.0 that caused the performance to degrade and game become unstable and quirky when you flew with cradled equipment for an extended period.
- Fixed pump audio for ore transfer on cargo containers not being audible since 1.47.0.
- Updated translations.
Feedback Focus: Still looking for feedback on Nakamura-Titan Mining Companions.
# 1.48.2:
- Removed a layer of cloaking paint from pirate station docking arms, making them visible again.
Feedback Focus: Still looking for feedback on Nakamura-Titan Mining Companions.
# 1.48.1:
- Your Nakamura-Titan Mining Companions will now reverse the polarity of their grinder when executing the ore transfer protocol.
Feedback Focus: Nakamura-Titan Mining Companions.
# 1.48.0:
- You can now order your Nakamura-Titan Mining Companions to perform a cargo transfer protocol.
- Updated translations & credits.
Feedback Focus: Nakamura-Titan Mining Companions.
# 1.47.0:
- You can now restock propellant on a Nakamura-Titan Mining Companion that is in your cradle arm.
- A new tuning setting was added to control propellant transfer to the mining companions.
- You can issue more orders to mining companions.
- When your mining companion is out of propellant in an autonomous mining mode, it will ask you for instructions instead of returning to the station immediately. You'll have an option to order it to return to your cradle for resupply instead.
- Increased velocity of the mining companion docking protocol.
Feedback Focus: Nakamura-Titan Mining Companions.
# 1.46.1:
- Bearing and distance information is now also available for ships without transponders, as long as they get identified by your crew.
Feedback Focus: General.
# 1.46.0:
- The bearing and distance to identified contacts will now be exposed in your Pilot tab.
Feedback Focus: General.
# 1.45.2:
- Fixed Virtual Flight Service access in the Tuning menu when using a gamepad or keyboard. Moving downwards with MVFS selected will now put you on the first tuning item, as expected.
- Racing team now has a separate conversation option when their drone is not operational, and will not schedule a race nobody can win.
- Additional Racing Team encounter.
- Updated translations.
Feedback Focus: Ore graphics.
Feedback Focus: General.
