[p]Hi there, I'm back working on the game, after a few months of silence :) While this patch is rather small, expect more (and chonkier) updates soon.[/p][p]
Changelog:[/p]

• [p]When the device can't output its production, stop its animation and power consumption[/p]
• [p]UI Fix: Polished switching between mining, build mode, and pipe overlays[/p]

Hi :)
Another pack of small fixes.
Some of them are addressing problems with UI Scaling feature.

• Arc Furnace rebalanced (Metal, Metallic Glass, Silicone - 5 times faster than using standard furnace)
  
• Added knowledgebase entry on Pipe Overflow setup
  
• Fix - Pipe item filter visible in overlay mode
  
• Allow zooming in closer
  
• temperature overlay - translations added
  
• Prevent production using not researched blueprint
  
• UI Fix - Knowledgebase UI
  
• UI Fix - Filters (in Device and Transport Pipe Panels) now resize to fit all items
  

Have fun!
And have patience if you're waiting for my response :)

Hi there,

This update brings more languages and answers to some of the recent feedback - enjoy :)

Changelog:

• New languages: Czech, Danish, Dutch, Hungarian, Portuguese (Brazil), Thai, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese
  
• Added UI scaling
  
• Fixed overlays for 4:3 aspect ratio
  
• Fixed trade issue that blocked selling item - it was caused by items left in storage that no longer allow the given item
  

UI Scaling
It's added as an experimental feature for all those who want bigger fonts.
Look for it under Graphics option

[h3]Space Architects, it’s time to return to your bases — a huge new update just dropped… and we’ve got a 60% discount to celebrate! 🎉[/h3]

This update brings a ton of improvements based directly on your feedback. Here’s what’s new:

[h3]🧊 Temperature overhaul[/h3]
Instead of one shared station temp, every grid cell now has its own. That means hotspots are real — and devices can overheat and go offline until they cool down. Time to get clever with your layouts!

[h3]❄️ Cooling pipes + Active Cooler[/h3]
Manage heat like a pro using new cooling pipes and the powerful Active Cooler (it can chill to -50°C). Whether you’re fighting hotspots or cooking up some spicy room-based systems, this one’s for you.

[h3]🔧 Pipe-laying system rework[/h3]
You asked, we listened. Laying down pipes is now way smoother — just pick start and end, and let the system do the rest. Of course, the old method is still there for fine-tuning.

[h3]💾 Faster loading & saving[/h3]
We completely rebuilt the save/load system — what used to take 26 seconds now takes just 2.9 seconds. That’s 9x faster. Big thanks to everyone who flagged this!

[h3]🎶 And more...[/h3]

• Transport pipe speed doubled
  
• 20+ new background tracks
  
• Device panels & overlays can now stay open together
  
• Knowledgebase got scrollable image sections
  
• Updated storage visuals + live fill bar
  
• Devices can be named (shown in world space!)
  
• UI and translation fixes
  
• And a bunch of smaller tweaks & polish
  

💬 A massive thank you for all the bug reports, suggestions, and kind words. You’re literally helping shape this game, one patch at a time 🙏

🛠️ We’ve got more planned — more interactions, devices, maybe even crew reacting to temperatures… but for now, enjoy the update and let us know what you think!

[h3]💸 And don’t forget — -60% OFF for a limited time![/h3]
