The July update v0.5 is here! This update adds one new building - the shore pump. Two new wild plants have been added, with the introduction of a wet biome. Birds now fly overhead.
Here is the full list of changes: Changes - New building: Shore Pump. Build on the coast to pump water. - Renamed the water pump to groundwater pump and updated description. - Adjusted map generation parameters and added wet areas. These have lots of vegetation and groundwater pumps are 40% more effective. - New plant: Haida-spindax (coast grass). Another big grass-like plant, this one grows in wet areas by water. - New plant: Pin-lodax. Also grows in wet areas. - Terrain is now shaded based on whether it is dry (desert), normal, or wet. - Ground cover (the green specks on the ground representing tiny plants) is denser in wet areas, and is now also rendered on coast tiles. - Made various changes to rah-lodax (roundleaf plant), including adding dead plants. - Added birds that fly overhead. - Stone furnace no-longer takes metal to build. - Can now set inventory target for mines in the same way as for other production buildings. - Production buildings will now pause if inventory target reached while factory is in progress (e.g. because the required items were produced somewhere else). - Spread out the UI at the top of the screen if there is enough space. - Moved the battery cell, composites and solar cell factories to the Materials page of the construction menu. - Updated some building descriptions. - Updated the grass shadow to try and make it look better whilst also slightly reducing poly count. - Added shadow detail setting. Low detail may give a slight performance gain, but so far only a few of the plants have a low detail shadow model. Fixes - Colonists should now be less likely to attempt to drop resources into a full network and get stuck at the resource processor. - Colonists should now be less likely to wander off without picking up the resource after deconstructing something. - Fixed a bug that could cause factories to lose items if items storage was full. - Fixed a bug that could cause changes in diet and new arrival happiness not to change the total happiness of a colonist. - Fixed bug affecting the layout of the energy display. - Fixed a graphical glitch when deconstructing dinrey-kadax (cactus) plants. - Fixed an occasional minor glitch on solar panel graphics.
