New Graphics 2 - Interior Items

After the last article, where i presented the new resources, i'm proud to present you some new interior Items and their new Design:

[h2]Photovoltaic Panel[/h2]
The photovoltaic Panels are updated to the new Graphics



They are now also interior items, that can be dropped in an electrical room. They causes a large change. Its now possible to add outside interior items to the rooms.



The idea of that interior item is to have them extendable, to be able to easy maintain them in the inside of the ship. As before, they extend depending on the energy needs, so you can see that at the model.



Another feature is, that the solar panels will orientate towards the sun, what brings a bit more movement to the timewarp.



[h2]Engine[/h2]
Another outside interior are the new Engines. They replace the old spinning engines and can now also be used later for accelerating the ship.


You have to build engines in spinning and against the spinning direction and the system will detect the orientation and turn them on when needed for the artificial gravity adjustments.



[h2]New Storages[/h2]
To achieve the target to make as much things as possible to interior items, i also enhanced the General Storage. You can now drop Storage Interior with general storage or special storages not related to the activities. Means, you can setup a complete custom storage by yourself.

Here the new General Storage with also 14 box space like the old one as a room.


It also causes a rework of the UI in that part, but that i will show in a separate article when its finalized.

[h2]Methane Generator[/h2]
The first update was for the Methane generator. Here a comparison from old to new.


[h2]Water Pump[/h2]
Pumps water to the ship pipes, to be used everywhere in the ship, like toilets, water dispensers and more


[h2]Fuel Cells[/h2]
Using H² and O² to generate electricity


[h2]3D Printer[/h2]
This machine can create Tools. It just get a new painting.


[h2]Toilet[/h2]
The Toilet got a complete redesign. Its now opened on the side, and includes a slidable door to close it. While doing that, i improved the animation system to have nicer and smoother animations


[h2]Hygiene Area[/h2]
The old sink got replaced by a hygiene area. This is also used in the ISS, due to normal washing would not work well on 0g. It contains a towel drying area, mirrors, a small water dispenser and some private closets for the astronauts with toothbrush and others.


[h2]Small Table[/h2]
The small table with chair got a more futuristic design and more colors that the old plain steel one.


[h2]Water Dispenser[/h2]
The water dispenser got another update, that makes it easier to see and more colorful


[h2]Bed[/h2]
The bed just got a painting update to look similar as the other interior items.




[h2]Medical Bed[/h2]
The Medial bed to increase the health of the crew also got nicer painting




So far to this part, i also started to rework the Buildings and the rest of the game. All of that are huge changes in the design and effects a lot of the code. I'll create a post like this when the rest is ready. I also post the progress and more pictures to our Discord:
