Early Access Patch Version: 0.9.25.11985 - April 21st, 2022

Hi Engineers!

\The Patch has arrived on time!/

A special asset called [metadata] is the main content in this update. It can be used across all save files with different [cluster addresses] to buyout (quickly unlock) the matrix technology for the corresponding save file. We would like to explain the basic information about this special asset in a quick #metadata-faq

Features

The Dyson Shell and Dyson Swarm can now be colored. Added coloring function for Dyson Shell & Dyson Swarm.
New asset: [Metadata]. Metadata can be obtained by mass-producing Matrices. In the current version, it is used for technology instant unlocking (buyout). Once the Metadata is obtained in one game, it can be counted and used in another game across cluster seeds.
Added an operation of quick transferring items. It can be applied to all kinds of buildings. You can hold [CTRL] and click the building to fill/take items, or press [Tab]/[`~] when the building panel is open.
Added pop-up briefing panels for buildings. This feature has been applied to all buildings. Hovering the mouse over a building will show the current status of the building.
New function in Blueprint Paste Mode: Press the [Tab] key to toggle the mouse anchor position.
New function in Blueprint Paste Mode: When the blueprint indicates that it is not buildable, press [Shift+Enter] to force plan the buildable part.
New function in Blueprint Paste Mode: In Blueprint Paste Mode, the memo icon marked on the conveyor belt when making blueprints will be displayed.
Added 3 new Dyson shell pattern styles.
Added 2 new background music scores for Ice Field Gelisol planets, Gobi planets, and other desert planets.
15 new icicle models and ice decorations for Ice Field Gelisol planets. This content is visible in the new game or old savedata if the Ice Field Gelisol planet has been found yet.
The research queue now shows a detailed description of technology when hovering over the technology icon.
Tutorials added: added more tips and guidelines for the construction process of Sorters, Conveyor Belts, Matrix Labs, and Planetary Logistics Stations.
Added button prompts to the interface for upgrade and delete functions.

Changes

The shortage of buildings and facilities will be shown in red in the Blueprint Browser if you do not have enough buildings and facilities in your inventory to restore the Blueprint.
A change to the foundation style selection UI: when a player clicks on a foundation that is undecorated, the foundation texture style next to it will not be reset.
The Orbital Collector panel will display the speed of resource collection; The Gas Giant's base output rate will be displayed to 4 decimal places.
Optimized the emission effect of lava rubbles on Lava planets.

Balance

When Water Pumps and Oil Extractors output exceeds the maximum capacity of Conveyor Belt MK.III, the new output will be automatically piled.
When product buildup exceeds 60% of the capacity, Mining Machines (2 types), Water Pumps and Oil Extractors will gradually reduce the yield to reduce the overall power consumption.

Bugfixes

Fixed a bug where when building Advanced Mining Machines, the collision volume of other Advanced Mining Machines may not be detected and resulting in overlapping builds.
Fixed a bug that could cause an error message when applying a copied recipe to an Advanced Mining Machine pre-build vanity.
Fixed a bug where an SSAO effect was displayed incorrectly when sailing near Dyson Shell.
Fixed a bug that could cause abnormal Proliferate Points when dismantling Fractionators.
Fixed a bug in Blueprint Paste Mode, where blueprints that cross the tropic line would automatically snap when crossing the equator, causing the build grid to fail to match.
Fixed a bug in Blueprint Paste Mode, where the detection of conveyor belt collision with minerals was abnormal.
Fixed a bug in New Blueprint Mode, where copying a facility near 180 degrees longitude and less than half a grid may resulted in coordinate anomalies.

Early Access Patch Version: 0.9.24.11271 - January 26th, 2022

Hi Engineers，

It's 5 days until the Chinese New Year holidays. Happy Chinese Tiger's Year to everyone!

Changes

Optimized build operations for Conveyor Belts, Spray Coaters, and Traffic Monitors. Now the Conveyor Belts can automatically snap to the ports on Spray Coaters correctly.
Added arrows from the Proliferator to the item icons appearing in the facilities panels.

Bugfixes

Fixed the bug where the camera operations in the Dyson Sphere Editor and the Mecha Customization Editor were not compatible with key mappings.
Fixed the bug where the proliferate points of trash cubes were calculated incorrectly.
Fixed the bug where the item icons in the panel of some construction facilities were not calculated by rounding down.

Early Access Patch Version: 0.9.24.11240 - January 25th, 2022

Hi Engineers

We just fixed a few bugs.

Changes

Modified the algorithm for splitting proliferate points when splitting, consuming, and shipping stacked items. The algorithm has been changed from rounding up to rounding down (the rounding down method will prioritize consuming/splitting the parts that don't have Proliferators to bring a better experience).
Optimized the manufacturing logic of Assemblers and Smelters under proliferated conditions.
Modified the way the enhanced fuel works when put into the power station: If it is normal fuel, the same value of energy and power will be increased; if it is an Antimatter fuel rod, then only the power will be increased and the total energy will remain the same.
Optimized the construction of the Spray Coater and adjusted the building collision range of the it.

Bugfixes

Fixed the bug where the panel of the Ray Receiver might reported an error after putting in the enhanced gravitational lens.
Fixed the bug where the enhanced Antimatter fuel rods might increase the actual output energy (extra produced Antimatter fuel rods can only increase the power)

Balance

When the number of Logistic Drones in the Logistics Station exceeds 75, the frequency of Drones' departure will increase to 6/s
Reduction of the time for the production of deuterium from hydrogen at the Miniature Particle Collider: 5s -> 2.5s

Early Access Patch Version: 0.9.24.11209 - January 21st, 2022

Hi Engineers,

We just fixed A-Little-Bugs, hope you have a nice weekend with Icarus!

Bugfixes

Fixed a bug that it may report an error placing pro-building ghost when applied Blueprints from pervious version.
Fixed a bug that the upper limit of the Traffic Monitor was when it was actually 7200.
Fixed a bug that the Dyson Shell refreshing may delay after a style changing.
Fixed a bug when multiple sorters fed mixed cargos into a multi-storey storage, some sorters would stop working when the first storage was full.
Fixed a bug in Tech Tree when the predecessor of a technology was the max level of a stacked tech.
Now you will see an error message if the mining machine is covering more than one veins.
Fixed bugs that some production data was misjudged as abnormal.
