  • Disable codex notifications
  • Updated Solid Booster description to properly mention the use of iron
  • Restore polluted oxygen to its proper pukey color
  • Art revisions for most of the rocket modules
  • Adjusted research tuning of space tech
  • Adjusted space research speed
  • Research Modules generate 10 Data Banks per trip even if the destination has no more research items
  • Added another planet at the first distance

Really?? I thought it looked too similar to liquid chlorine than PH20...

That's what I thought it was when I first saw it.  It's way too similar to liquid chlorine, and to a lesser extent too close to polluted water (for my tastes, anyway).

It actually appears that a number of elements got a color pass in these last few hotfixes.  Top to bottom, left to right.  Not all changed, just giving a reference:

Molten glass, super-coolant, chlorine, petroleum,  sulfur, polluted water.  Copper, gold, iron, steel, tungsten, mercury

Glass, petroleum, mercury, and all of the liquid metals have apparently changed.  (..I guess mercury is technically a liquid metal, but whatever. :D  I just felt the need to point it out as I do recall it being more silvery in color some many moons ago.)

The lime green pockets of petroleum in the oil biome looks so out of place ! I kinda hope the previous golden hue will be restored.

There is also new art for some of the mopped liquid bottles ! The see-through part is a bit distracting to the eye.

This can solve the missing interstellar research... so the solution is build more steam rockets

We have 2 planets now so 500 data banks = 50 research points...the rest 150 for the next engine is = 150 trips to the first 2 planets

Alternative solution... stack research module until the weight penalty can't send the rocket to the first 2 planets... The total mass must be at max 4900 kg to reach the first planet.. so your first rocket must have 1 steam engine, 1 command capsule and 9 research module, so in 1 trip you will get 9 interstellar research point, so 10 trips to the first 2 planets.

For me it's OK, a little absurd but it can be done.

I wonder should I be envious that someone has infinite amounts of 'creativity' or sympathize that it will never be put to use?

P.S. new mechanics for ore adding where excess appears at top is a not 'up to spec' or at least need some tinkering from player, on the same picture I tried to melt regolith in lava and rock on the floor got added to resulted tile, excess was pushed to the top and path got blocked.

Grinding is not a substitute for gameplay.

Other than that, good update for the most part (from changelogs anyway - I don't even try to play the prereleases anymore).

(That petroleum color though. Not a fan. All things considered, color is minor though.)
