Developer Ipsquiggle Posted February 17, 2021 Developer Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hello friends! The features currently on the Spaced Out testing branch will flip over to the default version of Spaced Out tomorrow. Today's patch introduces the Scanner Module, which allows a rocket to fly into the darkness of space and look for new planetoids! This brings with it some changes to the way space is revealed. Now, whenever a telescope or scanner module uncovers a tile on the cluster map, nearby tiles become "partially discovered", offering hints as to the location of nearby planetoids. Between the new module and the partial uncovering, it should be possible to locate and reach every planet in the cluster. Let us know how it works out for you! Features Revealing tiles on the cluster map "peeks at" other nearby tiles, giving hints as to where other planets might be. Added a new "Scanner Module" that will allow rockets to explore unexplored space and reveal tiles as they go Changes Sap Tree art pass Hooked up the Moo Moonlet starmap icon Fixes Can no longer attack the Sap Tree Telescope icon on the clustermap is now more consistent Sap Tree now has its own strings and proper information in the info panel Worldgen: Niobium Volcano is now guaranteed to spawn Worldgen: Fixed a number of worldgen failures due to guaranteed geysers not spawning View full update 6 1 2 4 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/127157-game-update-452034/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian.oni Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 59 minutes ago, Red Shark said: Resin Tree art. Unclear how it works, yet. It has multiple states. Idle, Attack, Cooldown and Eating. It appears any food dropped in front of it will cause it to enter the eating state. Right now that causes an immediate crash (for me at least), but my guess is you can feed it your extra food and it will turn out resin, which can then be boiled off to make isoresin. 2 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/127157-game-update-452034/#findComment-1430158 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Plum Gate Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Though I have not experienced this crash with the sap tree ( because I just haven't discovered one yet in any practical sense ) I'm wondering if this could be a problem for starting a new map today?

The Plum Gate Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) There's some rather interesting oversight with regards to swampy start - they lack significant sources of salt water. Terra start, for example the first world I generated had this on one of the planetoids: Is there some method to making saltwater that I don't know about? Or is this the idea with the waterweed is to rather choose some other means of food. So are these planet starts supposed to lean in the direction of and endgame food? If that's the case, then maybe it's my mistake, but saltwater on swampy start is rather scarce. Insert: I hope pip roid start is a thing soon.

Pyrex042 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) @The Plum Gate Isn't one of the new asteroids supposed to be an ocean? Frost Burgers are late game anyway, maybe you'll need to get there first. Does seem kind of odd that you can't dilute Brine into Salt Water though when you can do the opposite by freezing it, and that would add some versatility to the (guaranteed) Brine geyser.
