Summary

This week's update brings you much improved HUD markers which means less text-spam and clutter on your screen while playing. Also all the markers now render by depth order, fade in & out and group together according to the situation and player's orientation. We will keep improving this system in the future though and we welcome your feedback! We also made significant voxel modification optimizations this week, so there should be less stuttering, lagging and freezing when changes to voxels are happening (e.g. mining and explosions). And last, but not least, our modding community on github continues with the improvements of the programmable block/ModAPI. Plus we just updated the github source with the fresh game code ;) Thanks again guys!

Features

• improved HUD markers
• voxel modification optimizations
• Space Master now has the option to delete all floating objects
• improved programmable block

HUD Marker behavior

• less text spam; markers now fade their titles out when not looking at them and their distance label is reduced in size
• signal grouping; signals that are very far away are now clustered into a single signal on the screen with a small summary of what it contains
• signal type symbology; signals now also show their relationship to the player through a symbol, instead of just colors. This should also be helpful if you are color blind
• signals now render by depth order, which means the nearest signal is always on top of the stack. This slightly improves readability in the case of many signals on a pile
• exclamation marks next to an icon indicate hostile contact within 1km of that location
• holding Alt will reveal all text tags like you saw with the old HUD system
