InfraSpace News

Hello everyone!

Check out our new train station:



You will be able to hook up the station directly to your road network by using one of the entrance and exit roads. This allows you to to handle many more goods per minute than with a default access road like most buildings.

The model is designed in a way to handle different amounts of rails, but we're not sure yet if we'll release this as a feature - we need to work more on the movement system itself first.

[h2]Road building quality of life[/h2]
While we work on trains in the background, with this week's update we're releasing a couple small QoL features to make road building a little easier:

• Using the move tool, you can drag a road end point on top of another road or intersection to merge them
  
• Road segments reorganize themselves a little when you make a road segment that would be too short for the game
  
• You can't build multiple roads on top of each other anymore
  
• You can't move intersections so close together that the road segment in between would be too short
  

There is more road building QoL to come, but it takes time because the building system is gridless and free-form :)

Happy playing!

Edit: Uploaded a quick fix to find save files that were missing for some players after the update.

Edit: Uploaded another fix to handle road construction issues.

Hello everyone!

this Friday we're bringing you another update with some quite varied content:


[h3]Big Performance Boost[/h3]
We've seen playtesters get twice as many frames per second on large cities with this update if their game was CPU-bound. If your computer has enough CPU power but is struggling with graphics, this update will not improve fps quite as much, but still a little, especially on the low graphics settings.

Also, we fixed a related stuttering issue.

[h3]New construction sites for Adamantine Miner[/h3]
Honestly, we wanted to add this before Early Access release, but couldn't quite make it so here you go :)



Now that we have figured out normal mapped decals on our terrain, we may use them more often, too.

[h3]New Languages[/h3]
A HUGE thanks to our community translators!

InfraSpace now also features:

• Brazilian Portuguese
  
• Dutch
  
• Czech
  
• Polish
  
• Slovak
  
• Ukrainian
  

You can check out the translation project and the translators' credits here:

If you want to help translate InfraSpace into your language, let me know!


[h3]Other stuff[/h3]

• Added Research Queue
  
• Main Menu now has button "Back to game"
  
• Fixed save loading issue
  
• Statistics and Production now tracked in units per minute. This will invalidate statistics graphs from old saves.
  

I hope you have a ton of fun with the new update. Let me know if you have any issues. You can look forward to seeing our new train station next week!

Happy playing!

Edit: just uploaded Alpha 7.4.140 to fix an issue where consumption rates in production overview would be significantly smaller than in reality

Edit 2: just uploaded Alpha 7.4.141 to fix an issue where large cities would get flooded with traffic after loading a save

Hello everyone,

I planned to take a break this weekend, but L32 sent me a save he wasn't able to load and I pride myself on fixing game-breaking bugs asap, so here you go:

• Fixed an issue where you couldn't load a save when too many roads were in one place
  
• Changed power poles to only auto connect to power stations and power poles that are right next to them
  

If you've been following our updates and forum discussions, you know that at first some people didn't understand how to connect power lines, then we introduced auto connection of power lines and then other people didn't like the auto connection!
I hope we finally found a mix that's easy to understand and doesn't create a messy web as well :)

Happy playing!

Hello everyone and welcome to the first Dev News post after Early Access release!

[h2]1 Week after Early Access[/h2]

We want to extend a warm thank you to everyone that has bought InfraSpace, played it, provided feedback and became part of our community this week. When I check Steam's screenshots section or the Discord server, there are some pretty amazing city designs out there and I'm happy to see them realized :)

[h2]Today's Update[/h2]

The game has been received very well so far with a 92% positive rating at the time of writing. Still, there have been a couple of bugs and annoyances and it's our job to take care of them. I already released 4 small patches during the release weekend and the beginning of this week, and today, you're some more fixes and additions:

• Habitats now show how much products they have in storage exactly and how quickly they are consumed
  
• The demolish and replace tools now can demolish/replace multiple roads and buildings at once when you drag your mouse over them
  
• Road height no longer jumps up or down when moving an intersection
  
• You can press shift to adjust the road height more precisely (using R and F)
  
• Fixed a bug where building a road from the side of an existing road would not snap to 90°
  
• Fixed a bug where pathfinding could break down in very large cities
  
• Fixed a bug where signs would collide with nearby buildings after loading a save even though it was fine when the save was created
  
• Fixed a bug where moving a wind turbine and then exiting the move tool would disconnect the turbine from nearby power poles
  
• Fixed a bug where stopping to build a row of power lines would exit the power line build tool altogether
  
• Added Polish language (thanks to the community translators!)
  

[h2]Sneak Peek: Trains![/h2]

Thank you to everyone who has cast their vote on the roadmap already!

The most requested feature by far was trains, so we got right to work:



For now, these are just graphics without any programming behind them, but you can still let us know if you like how they look!


[h2]Screenshot Contest on the Subreddit[/h2]

Community member Casiteal is running a screenshot contest on the subreddit /r/infraspace

The winner is getting Reddit Gold or Discord Nitro, so if you want to participate and show off your city, check it out!

[h2]Final Words[/h2]

That's it for this week. Thanks again for playing and keep the feedback coming, we read everything.

Hello everyone,

lot's of people have been confused by how to connect power lines, so now they just connect automatically :)

• Power lines and power plants now automatically connect to other power-related buildings
  
• Added a tool to change road directions in the construction menu
  
• Fixed a bug where buildings were not powered even though they should be in range of a power substation
  
• Fixed a bug where you couldn't unlock adamantine drilling even though you've unlocked red science
  

Happy playing!
