Evospace 0.21.0 patch 1

9:40am

Lighting modes have been improved: the regular flashlight and both night vision modes. A flashlight is now available right from the start of the game. Toggle it with the `L` key.

Equipment logic has been fixed: an item is now equipped only when placed into an equipment slot, not when simply picked up in hand.

Fixed loss of contents in pipes after repeated re-saving
Reduced the recycler's internal buffer: it now matches one tick of consumption
Fixed heat loss after rebuilding the system
Fixed a crash when using the Lua world generator
Added weather settings for wind direction and strength
Fixed a bug that prevented cloud cover updates (Volumetric clouds)
Rain is now blocked by blocks and no longer falls indoors

This update includes improvements for logic blocks, but their full functionality will arrive in 0.21.1.

Logic Interface

The Logic Interface lets you configure complex conditions and output signals when those conditions are met. For example, it can send a signal that changes how a robo arm works once a certain item threshold is reached.

Or an overflow pump for dumping excess fluid. It will work with both the pump and the valve.

The block itself chooses which signals to export and which incoming signals control it. For example, the Crafter's signals currently look like this. Here you can export its input and output inventories, a flag showing that the block is working, and its recipe progress, as well as turn the block on and off via an incoming signal.

No copper ingots anymore ?

I am confused...might be caused by missing documenation and missing tutorial. How I am suppose to produce copper-ingots, when the smelters are using magic to produce copper-plates. My logical understanding would be: -ore---smelter---ingot---hammer---plate BUT we get: -ore---smelter---plate Not sure how a smelter would be able to produce plates. This is not "common sense", and thanks to missing docs...."common-sense" is my only "tool" to progress in this game. So...for now...game over. On to of that, ...

Electrolyzer - How to extract all 3 produced products.

The logic behind the electrolyzer seems to be broken. In my case (aluminium) it produces 3 products, but I have only two outputs. Each robotic arm is only able to extract one dedicated product. The arm is not able to extract both dust-products.(tested with a storage attached to the out-belt) So I need to place 2x robotic to extract both dust-materials. But since this is block-based building, we have only 4 sides on a 1x1 machine. The electrolyzer needs 1x(aka one side) electric-input and 1 x material-inp...

No oil deposits on the map?

Every map I generate does not show oil deposits. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game. I am play the "latest indev version". Should there be black water droplets on the map for oil deposits. I'm I missing something simple here?

Evospace 0.21.0

Apr 11

⚙️ Customizable block appearance and decorative variants

Added designable blocks — a customizable design system that replaces the old variants for stairs, fences, columns, and beams. Instead of several static variants there is now a single block with adjustable appearance. The number of variants and settings will gradually increase.

New decorative variants have been added for fences and stairs, as well as thin floor/ceiling with design customization — for neater and more detailed builds.

Finally, decorative covers for pipes and wires have been added so that utility networks can be beautifully integrated into architecture.

⚙️ Saves and migrations

We still support old saves (roughly from version 0.17). To simplify this, a save migration system has been created — you can see it working in the log after loading an old map. The migration runs in a temporary directory, so it cannot corrupt the original save. Steam Cloud saves are now supported.

⚙️ Weather system

A weather system has been added: rain, fog, clouds. The weather depends on the main biome the player is in. Currently weather does not affect block operation, but this may change in the future. The system continues to evolve and will be refined further.

⚙️ Conveyors and logic

Conveyor logic and animation have been reworked. Movement is now smooth and independent of conveyor placement order. Items on the conveyor move as a single unit rather than pushing each other while waiting for a free slot.

⚙️ LOD / sectors / meshes

The LOD system has been completely reworked. Rendering has been overhauled — the map is now rendered in full columns instead of sectors. This should provide a significant performance improvement at large render distances. The render distance limit has been significantly increased.

⚙️ World generation and biomes

The world generator has been updated. Ore areas are now more noticeable and larger. Surface tracing for grass and decoration placement has been updated — they should be placed more accurately on the surface and less often end up floating in the air. Materials for all ores have been reworked — they differ more from each other and look better. In addition, numerous smaller changes to the generator and decorations have been made.

⚙️ User experience

Text rendering on the map has been improved, and a compass along with custom markers have been added. The player inventory UI has been changed: the tool belt and equipment are now separated. Signs (Sign and Advanced Sign) now support item icons using the [item=IronIngot] tag.

⚙️ Resources and balance

The deposit experiments in 0.20.0 were interesting, but in 0.21 we decided to try yet another approach. Currently all deposits use this mechanic. Yield is the total extraction rate from a deposit. The Drilling Rig no longer increases speed with tier — it always extracts at 100% speed. With higher tiers the Drilling Rig receives a larger productivity bonus instead.

Computer balance has been reworked: computers without a booster now provide research proportional to energy consumption, with no penalty for a higher tier.

The current focus is resource cost balancing: in this update the overall copper cost for chip production at all stages has been increased, as has the steel cost for the machines themselves.

⚙️ Networking and multiplayer

A network mode prototype is in development: LAN observer, host and client connections, synchronization of animations and basic logic. The main goal is to build a working framework and validate key directions without deploying full-fledged multiplayer functionality yet.

⚙️ Other changes

Mod widgets: mods can now add their own UI elements
Ticks-per-second (TPS) control API and built-in Tps Switch mod
Fast sieving research
Percentage probabilities in recipe tooltips
Improved ore preview when placing a drilling rig
New synthesized sounds: pyrolysis, drilling rig, engine, steam engine
Total production indicator
UI hide button for screenshots
Sign settings copying
Updated main menu with world preview

Hundreds of changes have been made to the game. It is quite hard to cover all of them in a single article — better to see them for yourself!

Additionally, we would like to move to a shorter update cycle and publish more information here on Steam, which is what we will be doing in the near future.

Among the upcoming changes: work is currently underway on transport (drones, trains), tutorials, logic circuits (very good progress), other planet generation, and much, much more.
