Version 0.15.1

[Jon8RFC]

0.15 has such a clean look with the new interface backgrounds, the new icons throughout (I really like the exoskeleton in the modular armor), and the higher resolution images. It looks awesome, y'all!

Belt optimizations aren't finished and multi-threaded update was canceled.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! So much for bigger factories
That was one of the things i was looking for in 0.15

I love this new update.

the automatic zooming to the world when looking at the minimap is really frustrating, I like to see my creations from closeby on the minimap.

There is separate control binding for this in control options. I have it mapped to Ctrl + mouse wheel up.

thanks, that helped a lot. I set my alternative scrolling to the mousewheel, and the regular scrolling to the - and the + on the keypad. After testing out the differences, the game crashed.


edit, added the log

That was one of the things i was looking for in 0.15

It wasn't cancelled just postponed.

Interesting, this post leaves quite a different impression of that:

Don't forget that multi-threaded update is coming in 0.15. I'm curious how it changes the game regarding Ryzen which is supposed to be good on multi-threaded workloads.

No it's not. It didn't give any worthwhile gains that couldn't be gotten by optimizing it without threads while also complicating the code and making it harder to debug.

[Nemoricus]

Belt optimizations are still planned. Multi-trheading is not.

unless they find a way to actually let multithreading do things faster

Hey!
I love the new 15.0 update.
But because of the removement of the Alien Science Pack the aliens has become useless which is kinda sad.
Are there any furthur plans?
Also they are very unbalanced because it's difficult to beat them at first but after some hours of playing they get very easy to kill.
And I am sure it's now more easier because of the upcoming update with the new stronger stuff.

Bug: Game crashes on deleting of blueprintbook in blueprint libary
Bug: Game crashes on selecting a lan game in "play over lan"

Improvement: Increase building mining speed in mini-tutorials

(Linux 64)

Thanks for you great work

[Hidfirefight]

I have a really frustrating problem in 0.15.1
When I run around with an object in my hand it starts dropping it automatically. Not placing it but really dropping it so when I place electricity poles or belts I have to go back and pick up everything I dropped.
Also when I run across the map and my mouse hovers over something I build it sometimes selects it to be build.

Anybody got an idea how to fix this?
If it might be of any help I have specific keys assigned.

[Loewchen]

Do not post info about bugs here! Make a report in the Bug Reports subforum instead, after making sure it has not been filed already.

[inick]

Awwwww

Yes, science packs have been overhauled is quite a work you guys did. But.. bugs are pointless now. They (can) cause destruction and you get nothing back from them. You spend ammo to kill and get nothing in return. You don't get alien artifacts anymore (right? tested via sandmode scenario), so they are just a resource sink, and a nuisance. I disagree with this. No reason to have them around anymore. Create your world without bugs. Pollute all you want. No reason to have them on.

I feel you STILL need to have them drop alien artifacts for research. Or for something else. They are absolutely pointless now.

I can't install mods... Cannot connect to the mod portal?! Have anyone have this issue after installing the update?

I can't either! In fact, it's telling me it cannot connect to the mod portal. AT ALL. Wazzzup widdat?

Or even disable pollution when you disable the enemies.
No point in killing trees with pollution because they don't go away.

[Nemoricus]

Biters are long overdue for an overhaul anyway. They're useful for creating trade-offs between expansion and defense, production and military. But mechanically, they're uninteresting and tedious to deal with in the later stages of the game.
