- All of the functional Signal blocks are only accessible if we buy the DLC.
- The small grid icons in the G menu have erroneous file paths.

Its pretty glorious. Theres even more songs in the jukebox

What I don't understand is why they constantly release new DLCs for a game that has absolutely terrible performance. Whenever you try to build something bigger in multiplayer, the server usually crashes immediately

I like the blocks but have no use for the signal stuff.
The QOL stuff is good.

I've only just got everything downloaded, but haven't tested any of it out yet, so for me, the jury's still out...

Hi, I got busy and missed the live stream but the first thing I will test/try will be to add a button set to call back my AI Drone(s) on my Mothership, button to enable the AI Recorder set to return to home connector.

I hope for = less blocks/actions on the Drone.

EDIT
can't tell if good or not yet ;)

This is what I was looking forward to doing too. But...no functional blocks without buying the DLC. That's unlike them, isn't it? Maybe my memory fails me. Didn't all the previous updates before this include the functional blocks for everyone?
This doesn't.

Here is the live stream if you missed it:

I watched some of the stream now. Maybe I didn't search the G menu with the right key words. Not much new I have in the Signal Blocks category though. I'll take another look after dinner.

right now the game is unplayable due to the frame rate before last update i was geting like 90 to 120 FPS after the update i am getting like 15

I just loaded to test a world shared by another player not able to brake using a heavy Mining Rig ....
My first impression is that it's not the same game looking at the menu :

More Engineer testing is needed to know if it is a good update or not.

That's showcased in the stream it seems most of us missed. And I guess it's what this topic is about:

Thanks, Dan. I'll take another look and search the G menu for those. Dinner time now.

[The Klang Is Good]

@Jack Action relay is in the same group as Programmable Block and Compact Antenna in Antenna group.

Anyway, I noticed the annoying sound block bug got fixed. \o/
