Hey Colonizers!

Day 8 summary is here,
There are new systems and improvements in place, also a lot of bugfixes, so please check this out!

[h2]Auto Asteroid Catcher can now select resources to catch[/h2]
After many requests of you guys, that would be great to just select resource type to collect in the Asteroid Catcher, I added this option today!



[h2]Farmers[/h2]
They can now fly and reach devices in the sky. Also, if there is not enough space to exit the building, they will appear above the ground, so no worries that you can easily block them by cables or pipes.



[h2]Miners, Transport Bots & Humans improved[/h2]
Many pathfinding issues are now gone.
There is also improved system to find the top position of the terrain, allowing miners to climb even higher!

In addition, Miners can now destroy Trees, Bushes and Rocks providing quartz and wood.



Other changes:

[h2]SINGLE PLAYER[/h2]

• Main manu optimization and frame rate cap to 60 fps, so it's not consuming GPU anymore
  
• Auto catcher upgraded from catcher consumes 4 electricity
  
• Human no longer go to canteen without the food
  
• Fixed issues with floor colliders for height extenders
  
• Fixed issue with missing collisions
  
• Fixed issue with planets showing inside
  

Today my main focus was on a single player,
Tomorrow is going to be a day of multiplayer improvements - crash fixes, new modes and missing client functionalities.

Wish me another productive day!
Please be patient and supportive :)
