Consistent Collisions, James Webb, & Planetscaping Tweaks | Update 29.1

Run Steam to download Update 29.1, or buy Universe Sandbox via the Steam Store.

[h3]Update 29.1[/h3]
Planetscaping now has an eyedropper tool to sample the surface of an object to make creating (or flooding) land even smoother. We’ve also improved fragmentation during collisions, among other things.

[h4]Fragmentation[/h4]
We’ve updated how we determine the number of fragments during collisions. This allows fragments to last longer in simulations with numerous collisions and makes collisions more consistent across different simulation speeds.


[h4]Planetscaping Eyedropper[/h4]
There’s now an eyedropper in the Planetscaping tool so you can easily sample and set the Depth, Temperature, and Pressure to match those of the object you are Planetscaping.


[h4]More Highlights[/h4]

• Surface Lock is now a manual toggle, but turns on automatically when you are using the Planetscaping or Laser Tools
