Summary

In this week’s update we are releasing a revised building system. From now on, you can create a new grid from any block (not just from landing gear) by simply placing a block in any open area. We’ve also made changes to the G screen by cleaning it up, organizing it, and grouping similar blocks into groups. You can see if a block type has variants by the plus symbol in the top right corner of its thumbnail. To switch between variants, use the mouse scroll wheel. These changes should make building much more intuitive and time efficient.

Zooming in and out of 3rd person view now requires you to hold Alt combined with the mouse scroll. Also, any grid that is pasted into voxel from the clipboard will now become a static grid, including small ships. You can place them in at any angle and orientation.

Please note that because of the changes we made to the building system, we had to make adjustments to how blueprints are projected from projectors. It's now based on the first placed block of a blueprint. This means that the offset values in projectors will have to be corrected to account for this in all existing creations.

Lastly, the major improvements for the ModAPI and ingame programming mentioned last week are going live today. If you are a modder or a scripter who missed that announcement, here is the link to the ModAPI/Ingame Interface Expansion and Improvements guide: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=709010443

We would like to say a massive massive massive thanks to Malware for completely replacing the script compiler and to Phoenix84 for all the modding changes :). We cannot thanks guys like this enough!

Note

If you want to place individual block variants to your toolbar, you still can - just text search for the block name in the G screen and place it directly to the toolbar as usual. (so you do not scroll through each armor block variant to get piece you are looking for)
