  • Voles will hide during meteor showers    

 

In the case I quoted in the bug report. Voles try to hide from the meteor shower, however, the only layer left over from the destruction of the rains. It was "Abyssinian." And he tries to hide. because he is incapable, ends up "bug" and die = s

Devs forgot to mention that now we have a slider to set amount of tank fuel and we no longer need to wait for tank to become full.

But 'fuel limit' option is exceptionally buggy, it is more reliable to stop fuel flow then to set 'limit'.

P.S. And that now we have to craft replacement for abbysalite

I just noticed that I can't seem to use abyssalite for tiling, plumbing, vents, etc. Is this intentional?

Yes, it's now used as part of a late game super insulator. Use insulated blocks and pipes instead early / mid game.

Currently, I have a save late game. Just about to launch my first rocket. How do you use it as a super insulator?

 

Really loving this udate

The insulator is a end-tier material that you can obtain through a crafting station.

Spoiler

The crafting station is the molecular forge. The recipe demands abyssalite and isoresin, a material obtainable from space scavenging.

My radar has no option of rocket detection after this update even my rocket being in a mission. This ocurried after I deconstruct the command capsule to insert a new research module and reconstruct a new command capsule again. I have 4 radars and none of them have the rocket detection option.

The game continuously crashing at cycle 30 and i cannot figure what is the issue 

Also getting a consistent crash within a few seconds of un-pausing on this save.  It was created in preview branch and lasted about a cycle into this build but now crashes whether I do things or not.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I found a new bug.
The game crashes when a shove vole dies. I have a game in cycle 105 and I can not continue because of this. When I try to delete it in the sandbox mode, the game crashes again.

Thank you! :D

Btw, nice animated short. <3

Thanks @Mr.Trueba

That is what is wrong with my save in the post above yours.  There are two voles swimming in a frozen lake and one of them dies seconds after the save is loaded.

 

No problem. (:
With so many crashes in my last colony, now I am very good at observing what happens, hahaha.
