[h3]Update 27.2[/h3]
You can now change specific simulation interactions, like gravity and collisions, on a per-object basis! This minor update also includes simulated atmosphere opacity (a measure of how hard it is to see through the atmosphere), bug fixes, and more.

[h4]Individual Object Simulation Manipulation[/h4]
The ability to turn off specific simulation interactions on a per-object basis has been added to all objects in Properties > Overview. We plan to add to this over time, and we hope you enjoy creating all kinds of crazy scenarios with these options as much as we do!



[h4]Opaque Atmospheres[/h4]
Atmosphere Opacity is now simulated based on an object's properties, like Radius and Atmosphere Mass. Learn more about this new feature in our Atmospheres guide under Guides > Science > Atmospheres.



[h4]More Highlights[/h4]

• Polar ice caps on random rocky planets are now informed by the water depth around the poles and are no longer circles
