• Improve Wire Rendering The idea is that wire would get rendered by shader instead of squeezing a sprite (which in a case where wire are straight make them strictly one pixel large)
• Setting Parent Body for a SpaceLocation This would permit to optionnaly set a parent body so we could add moons and other planetary system without adding orbit sprite, it could also make space connection behave correctly around the parent body

Attaching an entity with an filtered input-output port to a pipeline will lock the whole pipeline to that filter.

I hate this change. In my opinion, it caused too much collateral damage just to fix a minor issue.
One collateral damage it caused is that it's no longer possible to use dynamic fluid pipe setup with filtered input-output ports, even if the setup does not rely on the bug it intend to fix.
Another collateral damage is:

So if there isn't enough holmium solution to craft a science pack straight away then it slowly drains out back into the fluid system (for the holmium plate foundry to gobble up).

Any mod to revert this change?

The other is that I truly beg for grass/ground to slowly heal after you destroy a biter base. The ugly scar staying forever sucks.

The "dynamic setup with filtered input-output ports" was the exact bug that needed fixing. Passing lubricant through a water-filtered boiler but not having it show up in the GUI made absolutely zero sense.

You can use a pump to restore the EM plant's ability to "suck" fluids.

You can apply any paving and then remove it, that would remove creep.

I actually tried that and it didn't remove it. I can try again, but I know I covered it with either concrete or refined concrete.

I was also looking forward to this. I guess if they say that no new achievements are planned for 2.1 I'll just do the 100% run now, manually.

I was able to go through some contortions involving podman and a debian:12 container and get it to work, sort of. The graphics are really slow though because the nvidia drivers won't work properly inside the container.

Are you absolutely sure you need glibc 2.36?

Updated to SDL 3.

Scrap produces and excess of steel plates and blue chips so I skimmed some of the excess to void all the concrete.
