The "Procedural Wrecks" Update is LIVE!
Hello terraformers!
[h2]The "Procedural Wrecks" Update is now available for everyone![/h2]
This update is the last one before the 1.0 release! We wanted to increase once again the possibilities of exploring and finding great loot so we added a new Long Range Wreck Finder, allowing you to explore distant parts of your planet with unique biomes and procedurally generated wrecks.
In addition of useful and unique loot, you'll find in those wrecks new decorations elements, like a fireplace, light boxes, a hologram projector, a fountain, new tree seeds and other cool stuff!
In anticipation of the 1.0 release, we have polished a lot of things in the game. We greatly improved the controller support, performances and overall collisions in the world.
You'll notice some more changes on your planet with the addition of independent spawning of creatures that will depend on the creatures you placed in your farms and aquariums!

[h2]Full Changelog - v0.9.025 - The Procedural Wrecks Update [/h2]
New portals generators and procedural wrecks
- A new "long range wreck detector" machine is available, allowing you to open portals to new locations of the map
- Those locations have multiple variations. In it, you'll find one or more procedurally generated wrecks
- Those wrecks contains rare and special loot that can be found only there
- Each location requires quartz to open a portal, have differents rarity and difficulty levels
- The more rare and difficult a portal is, the better the loot!
New Items
- New Tree planter. Blueprint found in procedural wrecks
- New Fireplace. Blueprint found in procedural wrecks
- 2 new frog eggs. Found in procedural wrecks
- 2 new tree seeds. Found in procedural wrecks
- New Fuse : speed trade platform fuse. Rare item found in procedural wrecks
- New Fountain. Blueprint buyable with terra tokens
- New Hologram generator. Blueprint buyable with terra tokens
- New Light Box constructible. Blueprint found in procedural wrecks
- New golden effigie. Found in procedural wrecks
- Flares allowing to illuminate a small area in dark places. New Blueprint to decode

World
- Add creatures that will spawn in some places of the world depending on player farms (butterflies, fishes, frogs)
- Add a new access between the starting zone and the waterfall zone that will appear after a certain terraformation level is reached
Optimizations
- Greatly improve overall controller support
- Improve collisions on a lot of big rocky elements
Performances
- Upgrade the unity engine to increase stability & performances
- Add new culling system to avoid rendering base elements that are behind big mountains
- Add new LOD levels on Foundations, Plain Walls & Windows Walls
- Improve performances of butterflies animations
Reduce multiplicator of fuses (heat / pressure / plants / oxygen)
- We feel fuses were over powered, reducing the interest of the late game, making it too easy and not enjoyable
- With the new addition of procedural wrecks, the chance to get more fuses will increase the balance of this system nicely
- Fuses are still really powerfull, and used wiselly can be of a tremendous help
- We believe it's the best decision for the balance of the game and the overall fun
Misc.
- Add obsidian to the teleporter recipe
- Change some recipes and minor balancing
- Removed the asteroid dropping containers as new wrecks provide an endless supply of containers & loot
