Planet Centauri News

Hello!

Yes, we know, where is the god damn patch?!

The next patch will content 3 features :






As you can still see on the game, the world on the surface can pretty flat and boring and was a problem for the generation of water surfaces on the surface So we have to redo the procedural generation system by making sure that the engine accepts also chunk made manually.

The good news is that after the patch (we will do a tutorial for that) the new systeme will allow anyone to made their own chunk creation!



Sorry that it take so much time but we have obviously to fix every bugs we found related to theses news feature before we can release the patch.

If all goes well, we should release the patch next week!

Thank you for your patience and have a nice week/holidays!

Hello!

We focused mainly on the optimizations for this patch with the hope that it will help those who have a low-end laptop to properly run the game.

New optimized tiles rendering engine, should greatly increase performance.
Can be disabled with the "Bake tiles" option.
New surface ruins (only on new worlds)
Internal engine reworks and some optimizations
New special cogs from ruins: Rusty cogs. If you destroy a rusty cog, you will only get unusable rusty parts, so be careful.

Fix Video memory leak of 5mo vram every time you save in the graphics settings.
Random crashes on alien outposts.

Have fun!
