10.Nov.2016

Summary

New Stable branch has been released!

Features

• Visual Scripting (Guide: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=779965489 )
• Physics improvements
• Main menu redesign
• Larger max voxel tool size (creative)
• Added explosion visual effect after destruction of certain blocks
• Ability to select a default camera in a remote control block
• Particle effects improvements
• Parallelization (Loading of grids is now processed asynchronously. This translates into less freezing during copying & pasting grids or during spawning of cargo ships, drones and using blueprints. It also significantly reduces loading times.)
