While work on 0.18 is in progress, the main change in which will be support for mods, a small update has been made for version 0.17.

Hand recipe for wire, reinforced concrete and electrolyzer is changed.

Reduced machines crafting time.

The game engine was updated, several bugs were fixed, and copying of block settings was also added.

To work with the settings, you need to point the crosshair to the block and press

Ctrl + C to copy settings to the clipboard
Ctrl + V to set the settings to the block

The wires have been redone, now they form power grids, they do not have a dependence on the FPS bandwidth, they allow you to view the statistics of energy production and consumption through their UI, and when you close the game, they don’t lose the energy contained in them as before.

Switches and logic switches now set the direction of the electricity flow.



Reworked logical wires that also now form networks. Now you can connect logic wires in 3 dimensions.

Added advanced logic to compare numbers.

A sensor has been added that allows you to export the number of items contained in a chest or the battery charge.



A new Freezer block has been added. It is used to freeze air, as well as to cool hot ingots, such as tungsten and hardmetal (and neutron)

Added chain of oxygen production from frozen air.



Added Hard Metal production chain.



Ore deposits have been completely removed.
Added some simple map generator templates.



The multi-tool robotic arm now collects the blocks dug by it. The exit for objects is below

Direct and return heat exchangers are added. They can be used to transport or remove heat.

A lot of work has been done to improve the performance of the game on large bases.

The method of scaling recipes has been redone, now accelerated recipes do not give out servings more often, but have large servings.

Fixed a bug that caused the game to crash when trying to load a map saved with an error (for example, due to a sudden power failure to the PC)

• Added decorative blocks
  
• Added sounds for some skipped blocks
  
• Added jetpack interface
  
• Fixed bug with walk sounds
  
• Added visual difference in multitool levels
  
• Changed hints displayed when hovering over an item
  
• Improved logic chip interface
  
• Added animation of the disappearance of objects lying in the world
  
• Changed the mechanics of the stack of items in the world, items stack by type and update
  stack lifetime while stacking
  
• The mechanism for adapting the eye to light is off. Lighting adjusted accordingly
  
• Added flat variation for monitors
  
• Added double and triple stackers
  
• Added disassembler
  
• Changed the way to select a recipe in the assembler
  
• Added pneumatic input model

The 17th version brings 2 big changes to the engine and hard metal production branch.

Deep work was done on optimization: the method of executing recipes was completely redone (the speed of the machine does not increase the load on the PC), the wires are redesigned, which now creates separate electrical networks (there is no longer a dependence on FPS)

The development of version 17 is coming to an end. Below is a shortened list of changes.

• no ore deposites
  
• emerald
  
• beryllium
  
• uranium 235
  
• map templates
  

• metal beam decoration
  
• metal corner decoration
  

• arc furnace sound modulation
  
• steam engine sound modulation
  
• steampack sound
  
• walking sounds bug

• stack 5 module wip
  
• item tool tip improvements
  
• gui improvements
  

• item in world despawn animation
  
• item in world stack restrictions
  

• remove item picker
  
• tool arm auto pick items
  

• tool levels
  
• heat exchangers

To try the beta branch, do not forget to backup your map.

There are controlled valves and switches, logic gates, wires for logic signals, detectors of block working state, as well as indicator lights. They can be found in steel and aluminum tiers.





Earlier in the game appeared difficult for the machine recipes. For example, a copper hammer is difficult to handle steel ingots. A complex recipe is much slower, a very compex one leads to a breakdown of the machine.

Now simple recipes have been added to this mechanics. They run faster. This mechanic has replaced the old machine speed bonus.





Appeared pumpkin farms, as a source of organic. And in the future for pumpkin pies!

• Fixed a bug with shift click at the dryer
  
• Added entry for items and exit for liquids at the mixer
  
• Correction of minor errors
  
• Fixed bug with bamboo farm's bounding box.
  
• Fps settings save bug
  

Recipes now have their own levels. The level affects the execution of the recipe by the machine. If the level of the recipe is higher than the level of the machine, the speed of execution is significantly reduced. If the recipe level is higher than the machine level by 2, then the machine will gradually break down when executed. A broken machine can be fixed at the moment by simple reinstallation, a repair tool will appear very soon.



A new energy storage unit has appeared, however they have a small drain, due to the fact that they need to be heated. In the cooled state they can store energy, but can not give and receive it.



There was a way to get titanium from ore, and, accordingly, all titanium machines.



The old way of building columns from electrolyzers no longer works. Enough to install one unit.



Can be used to transfer items between machines. You can line up to create simple and slow ways to move items.



Also significantly increased the yield of recipes that create decorative blocks.



There was the setting of the range of work, as well as the steel version of the hand, which digs forward and does not rotate.
