I love update day.  Can't wait to poke around with this!  The solar panels alone will be awesome

It's past time.  If people can't get things like Steam Turbines to work without relying on an exploit then maybe the developers will take another look at them.

Does that mean that Volgus will be a alien update?

I hope solar panels are subject to occlusion (ie they turn on, turn off, reduce their output, etc at unpredictable intervals)

Otherwise they just become a "build these to invalidate everything" dealio

headed to find out!

works quite well in the real universe too. dwarfs often throw heat into space by way of geysers.

Hehehe I agree, quite beautiful really makes the starfield background pop - not terribly easy to play though! xD

@Ipsquiggle Just a heads up, I don't think it is intended but iron comets can destroy neutronium. I just watched a comet fall down onto a copper volcano and vaporise the neutronium XD

Updated egg production economy

• Egg Cracker building to mark specific eggs as food ingredients
• Varying egg masses per creature type
• Stored eggs lose viability and eventually can't hatch

 

I'm so busy geeking out over finally being allowed to break through to the asteroid's surface that I failed to thank the devs for addressing our grievances regarding egg management.

This. Is. AWESOME!

I don't usually participate in upgrade previews because I like to wait for the artwork to be finished and some of the kinks to get worked out. But I really can't resist this one.
