This update adds a bunch of things related to lasers!Emerald, Sapphire, Amethyst, and Diamond Laser pixels are now craftable!Mirror Pixels are craftable from Silver and Glass! They deflect lasers, and can be opened/closed using signals. Two Mirror Pixels on a 45 degree diagonal will deflect an incoming beam as if they are a 45 degree line.Prism Pixels are craftable from Glass and Lead Oxide! They refract lasers by 45 degrees, and the rotation key can flip them between Prism Left and Prism Right modes.The values related to weight on materials (Weight, Density) are now replaced with Mass, and have been somewhat rebalanced for consistencyMaterials have had the follow additional properties added: Specific Heat, IsReflective, and Laser AbsorptionBlender pixels reflect an incoming laser beam in a random direction every tickLoose pixel forms of Mirrors, Prisms, and Blenders also have the laser-related effectsMax laser range greatly increased (128->512)The model of how lasers transmit energy is adjusted. Previously, a laser beam would add directly to the heat value on every cell, which was very unbalanced. Now, the energy of a laser beam is conserved, with the beam continuing until it d

Here are a couple quick hotfixes while I'm working on some bigger updates:QoL: delay resaving the *.universe file when the player restores an element so it doesn't create a pause - this is what was causing the freezing for some people when completing an element in the ship progression, so I wanted to get this in right awayQoL: changed the way spawning is suppressed by built pixels so that an animal/monster shouldn't spawn within a chunk that has anything built in it; hopefully this will cause nearby spawns to be less annoyingBUGFIX: 'map' console command was not working - fixedBUGFIX: updated Chinese translations for synthetic elementsBUGFIX: made grass roots grow on both dirt and loamA bigger update with a lot of laser-related things in coming soon! :)Join the Community today!DiscordYouTubeand if you haven't already please leave me a Steam review, it really helps me a lot!-Triplejump

Today I did a bunch of bugfixes, and also made adjustments to lava!Andesitic Lava now cools into Sodium Aluminosilicate, and I added reactions for Sodium Aluminosilicate and its downstream products: Sodium Silicate, Sodium Aluminate, and Aluminum Hydroxide, to connect it into other parts of the reaction web. :)Bugfixes in this build:BUGFIX: Rocket and Nuke Counters were not disappearing and were rendering over each other - this is now fixedBUGFIX: Paint materials were not showing in the material guide tab (fixed incorrect ui suppression setting)BUGFIX: Select Material UI no longer displays static material types in the listBUGFIX: Tool and Material HUD slots were still showing their tooltips when HUD was hidden using F6 - this is now fixed, and it seems like none of the tooltips from the HUD will show now when it is hiddenBUGFIX: HUD indicators that have hotkeys displayed on them: the Stomach HUD, Poop HUD, and the toggleable indicators for Helmet, Jetpack, Flashlight, Radsuit, and Vision Mode - now properly show the currently assigned controlBUGFIX: pressing the Rotate key while hovering a pixel would previously change both the pixel's rotation AND any other element we were ro

This adds a few things, mostly related to the save system:put in better containment for when errors occur on planet segments in the loading and saving processesin situations where a planet segment didn't get saved properly, will load as empty instead of being filled with sandBUGFIX: fixed a bug where not all active chunks would necessarily get marked to be savedBUGFIX: made the "Save As..." button use the localization setting of the gameMISC: added more specific logging when load/save errors occur to help track down remaining corruption bugsREACTIONS: added the Carbonic Acid route to Sodium Carbonate :)This should reduce the effect of write errors / corruption when saving, as well as provide better logging to figure out why it happens next time it occurs. Please let me know in the Discord if you experience any loss of parts of the map - I am continuing to put in fixes for various potential cases and the logs can help me figure out any remaining ones.We'll have some quality-of-life updates coming soon!Join the Community today!DiscordYouTubeand if you haven't already please leave me a Steam review, it really helps me a lot!-Triplejump
