[h2]Lumen rendering[/h2]
Lumen is a fully dynamic global illumination solution that immediately reacts to scene and light changes, enhancing realism. It provides natural light and reflections across diverse environments without the need for traditional baking processes, significantly improving visual fidelity and immersion.

[h2]Block network v3[/h2]
The Block Network v3 represents an advanced iteration of interconnected systems, facilitating a network of networks characterized by highly efficient switch toggling. This architecture allows for seamless integration and communication between different network nodes, ensuring optimal performance

[h2]Save / auto save overhaul[/h2]

The save system has undergone a comprehensive overhaul, introducing a new user interface that enhances interaction and usability. With improved, predictable behavior, the system now offers more reliability.

[h2]Decorative blocks[/h2]
I have added multiple decorative blocks and working on possibility do add more with mods.

[h2]Preparations for drilling rig overhaul, trains and resource balance[/h2]
The upcoming overhaul of the drilling rig system marks a significant step forward in enhancing resource extraction mechanics and balancing the in-game economy. This update is designed to introduce more depth and strategy to resource gathering, encouraging players to plan and optimize their drilling operations. With improved drilling rig functionality, players can expect a more realistic and engaging experience in locating and extracting resources.







[h2]New filter/constructor interface[/h2]






0.19 is available in the indev branch. It is still in development but already stable enough to take a look.

[h2]New network graph[/h2]



The electric network code has been optimized for more even distribution, and the issue of skipped consumers has been fixed.

Significant improvements include a 50% reduction in computing time for resource networks, achieved by eliminating the shuffle step. This efficiency is possible as the network now accurately distributes power based on the known power requirements of all consumers.

Note that with multiple heavy consumers and numerous small ones, some operational changes may occur. Additionally, the precision of requested values could vary due to electricity buffers in some machines.

[h2]Logic Circuit UI improvements[/h2]

Now you can select rule signals from input signals.
Logic circuit UI was improved.
