[h3]Starground v0.10.2 is now here! This update adds in a couple new nice to haves, along with a ton of QOL changes, additions, and fixes to some old bugs.[/h3] [h1]Whats New[/h1] [h2]Editable Terrain[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44866778/815fd71a30643eec5020ff5d5be5c25690f271a5.gif[/img] Stargrounders are now able to modify and move terrain tiles around on Veridan! Once unlocking the Terrain Manipulation research, players can access the new shovel tool to break tiles. You can also place them back down from the building menu, and buy more in the space hub from the Snail. This will allow players to build out their island for ideal factory layouts, and convert resource nodes from and to oil. [h2]Commands[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44866778/3b167c72638a0cadb0a53b1981c30416f06aee15.png[/img] Commands are finally here in Starground! While they don't mean much for regular play, it allows for a type of "creative mode" world, or changing things to spice up gameplay. Enabling commands will disable achievements that will eventually be added in the future. [h3]All the commands available are:[/h3] [list] [*] /tp - teleport to a location [*] /give - gives an item and/or quantity [*] /kill - kills the player [*] /time - sets the current day time [*] /noclip - enables/disables noclip [*] /movespeed - changes player movespeed [*] /zoomlimit - enables/disables the zoom limit [*] /miningspeed - changes player mining speed [*] /rain - start/stop rain [*] /create - creates a scene that exists within the game files (be careful spawning on some kinds of scenes!) [*] /help - gives a list of commands [/list] Custom commands can also be added via modding (check the [url=https://github.com/chip003/starground-modding]modding repo[/url] for more details) [h2]Resource Clustering[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44866778/053cc3857812525c289e550f5c47ac0d657b906c.jpg[/img] Resources now spawn in a new way. Instead of being randomly placed around, they spawn in clusters. This means collectors and thumpers are much better when placed in resource-dense locations, and voids between clusters are left free of resources. These are perfect places to build your factory without decreasing your resource production. Resource positions and types are now also linked to the world seed. This means they will always be the same kind of resource, and spawn in the same location every time you load a game, or use the same seed. These changes aim to make early game much easier to sustain (especially with fuel), and to make end-game designs more interesting, since clustering requires more thought-process instead of the "place collectors everywhere" approach. [h3]As always, let me know on the Steam forums, or on Discord if you run into any new issues.
