Update 01.163

24.Nov.2016

Summary

Hello Engineers! This week’s update is bringing improvements to Space Master and the remote access screen. By opening the space master screen, you will now see a new option which allows you to set a continuous trash management interval. This means that after the set amount of time, the game will remove, stop or depower all grids that match the selected requirements. We’ve also slightly redesigned the remote access screen. It allows you to take control of a grid directly from this menu and has status indicators for each grid. These indicators will let you know if there are issues with connection, ownership or the remote control block.

And we have even more for you! Today we released 3 new multiplayer prototype builds code-named “Rock”, “Paper” and “Scissors”. These multiple versions have been created by three different teams (two internal teams and one external) with each one of them trying to solve the multiplayer employing different methodologies. Our progress is now at a state, where players can directly help us evaluate the new multiplayer prototypes. We need your help to work out which one of these three will provide the best multiplayer foundation moving forward...
