Say hello to R&D Labs - the new name for R&D Test Chamber

Important note:
All existing R&D Test Chamber game saves are very likely to load into the new R&D Labs with peculiar consequences; mainly Techs falling from great height or just hanging in the air if they're anchored. So any Techs that you want to keep for the new R&D Labs, please snapshot in the current version 1.3.5 before updating to this version.

• Updates are currently in progress so do let us know what you think as we refine what we have and add more features to R&D Labs.
  
• Some of the new features are:
  
  • Biome Areas - to test how well your Tech drives on the different terrains.
    
  • Speed Trap - to test how fast your Tech is travelling as it crosses the laser line.
    
  • Weighing Scales - to measure the mass of a Tech or multiple Techs or individual blocks.
    
  • Damage Calculator - see how much damage each weapon causes
    

Design Tweaks:

• The GSO Anchored SCU Storage Device has been moved from GSO Grade 3 to GSO Grade 2. It will now appear as a rare mission reward for completing missions from GSO Grade 2 onwards.
  

Art Tweaks:

• Graphics options Draw Distance slider has now been extended to almost 3 times the previous distance.
  
• There are also separate graphics options sliders for Detail Distance and Shadow Distance.
  
• The radar has become semi-transparent.
  

Localisation:

• Translations for new text have been added for Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Spanish
  

Note: Update to version 1.3.4 with a fix for the missing pillars in the pillars biome.


Hey Prospectors,

Matt here with a shiny new update!

The UI has had a fabulous glow-up. The inventory, Tech loader, HUD, well pretty much everything you see in-game now has a contemporary look.

Race missions have had a bit of tweak behind the scenes so they now spawn on bespoke terrain.

The Paladin Bomb got its grades and has graduated to the Hawkeye Corp. Congrats Paladin Bomb, we knew you could do it.

There are also design tweaks to the GSO and Venture shield bubbles.

Enjoy,
Matt
