Update 01.156

6.Oct.2016

Summary

Hello Engineers! This week’s update brings you more parallelization improvements. Grid loading is now processed asynchronously, which translates into less freezing when copying/pasting grids and while spawning cargo ships and drones. It also significantly reduces load times. As a small tweak to weapon balancing, we’ve added a short reload time to automated Gatling turrets so they will not fire continuously, but rather reload after 140 rounds. Bugs fixed this week include sliding doors and normal doors not being able to be grouped together, first person perspective clipping when using rifles, and jetpacks deactivating when reloading a world in a cockpit. Lastly, all duplicates in the G-Screen should be cleaned up.

Features

• 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.)
• GitHub source code updated
