Update 01.162
17.Nov.2016
Summary
Hello Engineers! In today’s update, we are adding Steam achievements for Space Engineers. They already cover a pretty wide range of activities so get hunting - but we also have the ability to add more in the future as the game develops further. You can now use double mouse click to activate hand tools continuously which should come in handy for those longer survival sessions. An improvement made to sensor blocks is that you can now toggle on or off the detection of subgrids on a grid where a sensor is placed. The bugs fixed this week include button panel text only appearing for a short moment, ship dampeners seeing un-fueled hydrogen thrusters as powered and the properties of subgrids not being updated. Lastly we made some major changes to the programmable block API, including adding new raycast functionality for cameras. If you’re a scripter, you can find the guide explaining these changes here: http://forum.keenswh.com/threads/new-camera-raycast-and-sensor-api.7389290/ There will be some bigger updates over the coming weeks, including corner lights and corner LCDs and more parallelization. The redesigned blocks are even nearer to completion, as the artists are now mostly working on LODs at this point. Also, the new multiplayer prototypes are undergoing internal testing at this time and we look forward to sharing the results of this with the community.
