Hey Colonizers!

Time to start 2023 with a first update!

It's mainly dedicated to fixing multiplayer desync, which is currently the most common issue.
In fact, in very high latency scenarios and packages loss it was possible to achieve incorrect inventory state in a few different ways.

I also completed spacing for bulk construction of big walls and floors.

[h2]New drag construction for big Walls & big Floors[/h2]





As you can see, spacing is now helping to position floors and walls, so they are better aligned.
In addition, there are red highlights if an element cannot be constructed.

[h2]QOL[/h2]

• Big walls support drag construction with proper spacing between them
  
• Big floor support drag construction with proper spacing between them

[h2]SINGLE PLAYER BUGFIXES[/h2]

• Fixed an issue where selected walls couldn't switch to variants when picked from world
  
• Fixed UI hit box for technologies
  
• Wall staple diagonal now has a correct texture

[h2]MULTIPLAYER BUGFIXES[/h2]

• Fixed an issue where client couldn't destruct while having technology unlocked
  
• Fixed an issue where destruction of multiple elements didn't pick recyclables
  
• Fixed an issue where removed asteroid catcher would leave asteroid "ghost"
  
• Fixed an issue where client could pay warehouse cost double
  
• Fixed an issue where invalid construction could take resources
  
• Fixed a desync problem after re-opening quickly the same container
  
• Fixed a desync problem after re-opening container and doping items
  
• Fixed a desync problem after removing container with conveyed resource
  
• Fixed a desync problem after merging and moving items by server

Wish me good luck and productivity in 2023 :)
See you next time!
