Developer EricKlei Posted October 1, 2021 Developer Share Posted October 1, 2021 Hi everyone, Today’s patch for the Public Testing branch contains a new classic style Rime cluster. This cluster’s frozen starting world resembles the base game version except it adds the Radioactive biome into the mix. Radiation is now visible in the world similar to how extremely hot and extremely cold areas are highlighted. There are also new achievements, improvements to Radbolt automation, and a number of fixes. Full patch notes below. If you'd like to try the Public Testing branch you can follow the instructions listed here. Have a good weekend! Features Simplified Chinese localization Spaced Out! Only Classic Rime Cluster Added “storage full” automation output ports to buildings that store and consume Radbolts. New achievements: First Teleport of Call, Soft Launch, GMO A-OK, Mine the Gap, and Cluster Conquest achievements. Added Radbolt Sensor sound and its hammer strike sound In-Game radiation effect Radbolt Sensor animation polish Fixes Fixed Flush Toilet descriptor appearing twice on building Database entries. Performance: Reduce overall frame time by spreading out a few more systems Potential fix for suits being delivered to the wrong locker. Spaced Out! Only Worldgen: Irregular Oil trait can spawn a bit closer to the start. Worldgen: Fixed Trapped Oil world trait on classic style Large Forest Cluster. Added copy settings to Radbolt Sensor. Fixed Radbolt Sensor sometimes not registering Radbolts. Include creature effects and per-use facilities like toilets and sanitizers in Database element usage. Fixed Rover's status item tooltips displaying incorrect name. Fixed Major/Minor Irritation tooltips on Shower. Fixed a typo in the Supply Teleporter Output description Shortened Glow Stick description and took out 'alone' keyword in Loner description Optimized some textures, fixing an atlas overflow error when clicking on a Teleporter for the first time. Fixed crash composting certain mutant seeds. View full update 12 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hapatchi Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Radbolt automation has been on my personal wish list for a while. Thanks, Klei! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defster Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Ah, Rime, finally! Thank you. I assume you're not quite done tweaking yet? My asteroid came with both Tungsten and Niobium geysers Also, the oil biome is the hot one, not the frozen one. Not sure if that is intended. No matter, off to play! edit: I got the "Trapped oil" trait, which is hot. it seems the default oil biome is indeed frozen.

Geysers will fixed in the next update. You might be playing with Irregular Oil or Trapped Oil world traits as they would replace the frozen oil biome. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakura_sk Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 So much randomness now... All below images came from one seed Spoiler A gorgeous double waterfall in forest. Colony flooded in 3...2...1... Anyone want a Dupe-fry? Just out of the.. teleporter This seed also has some hot-cold and a frozen sandwich Seed: V-FRST-C-1992057999-0 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It a really nice feeling to know that our feedback is being considered and included to the game. And the automation is so good On the topic of the logic ports - they seem to be located in random places, have you considered placing them on the same tile as rabolt port? It would simplify many designs as most probably the logic wire will conect to the radbolt redirector and those are on the same X or Y axis as the radbolt port, so the logic coonection would be nice straitght line 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakura_sk Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I'm a little confused as to what "Alternate pod location" means for irradiated forest... Was there supposed to be a printing pod to any other than the starting planetoid? It's not even referring to the teleporter Spoiler Also this below seems a bit odd... Spoiler 3-in-1 artifacts ?! I usually saw office mugs spawning but I've never seen 1 office mug and 2 honey jars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got kinda frustrated after my last base performance went to s*** and haven't played the game in the last two updates. Anyone seen any improvement in their bases? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zach123b Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 could you guys fix the abyssalite shell around the volcanoes getting overwritten by the granite layer around the starting area? V-SNDST-C-1894690671-0 that is unless this is intended of course. then rushing for insulated tiles might be needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would like if they did a set of new ones for spaced out that were more space focused and leave the classic variants to classic mode. It also seems kind of redundant to redo all the previous world types into both classic and spaced out as well. Either way is fine but after having already played all the original world types before the dlc I want new world types to mess around with. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause at this point i just gave up. Still playing on the Rollback beta (the one one update before BOFA) for as long as it will be available (i hope it won't get pulled anytime soon) I wonder what will happen faster me getting a new PC or post BOFA versions getting optimized to perform like update before the merge.

It can't be just the animations. And even when game is paused performance is bad. Edited October 2, 2021 by ALCRD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one: Steam won't and most likely never will touch versions that developers themselves put in the Beta tab. It's up to Klei to manage those for their own game. 5 minutes ago, gabberworld said: what happened was that they changed unity Another example of new =/= better it seems.
