Stationeers News

This hotfix addresses several issues with multiplayer caused by bad data being sent. This issue could cause a wide range of issues including stopping things in the game from updating their position or state.

Changlog v0.2.4891.22206

• Fixed MK2 Crowbar and emergency crowbar sounds could get stuck on.
  
• Fixed Duplicate entries in PipeAnalyser tooltip for Capacity and Liquid Volume.
  
• Fixed Proximity Sensor tooltip shows incorrect unit.
  
• Changed Save button on leave game pop-up to Save-and-Exit.
  
• Fixed Leave Game Pop-up would soft lock the game if you clicked the save button.
  
• Fixed OGRE horizontal miner disasappears due to overly aggressive culling distance.
  
• Fixed a bug where the control binding panel was not usable while trying to rebind controls during gameplay. The panel now correctly display over the settings menu instead of under.
  
• Added a simple yolk splat effect when eggs break
  
• Fixed Byte Array read error which was causing FertilizedEggs to create de-syncs.
  
• Fixed labeler not grabbing existing text from a sign when editing.
  
• Fixed Clients on Dedicated Server were not receiving other clients AimIk position due to an early return for batchMode in Human.LateUpdate.
  
• Fixed normal map problem for chicken
  

Much of our focus has been on heavy and deep architectural changes to the game. While we prepare our next big additions, this update serves some much needed quality of life and fixes.

We have been blown away with the reception to the last update, which gives us confidence that we should continue to focus on rounding out the "why" and "what" of Stationeers play sessions. A key foundation for our future updates is to build heavily on this. We plan to take existing work we have done and bind them together, as well as further work to redo lower quality areas of the game like terrain.

We set our highest concurrent players in Stationeers since the multiplayer refactor well over a year ago, as well as having much higher sales than normal. This is massively encouraging to the team so thank you all for the warm reception!


You can now upgrade pipes and liquid pipes to their insulated counterparts without having to rip them up and place new pipes. You can do this by using an insulated pipe kit on an existing insulated pipe while holding a wrench in your other hand. Only upgrades can be done in this way, an insulated pipe cannot return to a non-insulated pipe.

Just like the regular igniter this pipe attachment allows you to create a spark and ignite the atmosphere inside a pipe network either manually or via logic.

Since the network refactor, and even before that, Chickens have suffered from a lot of issues making them hard to keep under control. We've fixed a load of bugs and tweaked a lot of small things that should make them a more manageable resource.



[h2]Feed[/h2]
We've changed how much a chicken needs to eat as a base line and have also added a requirement for more food to lay an egg.

[h2]Eggs[/h2]
Previously, when a chicken laid an egg there was a 25% chance that it would be a fertilized egg, This meant that early on in your chicken farm it could be slow to get the desired amount of chickens, and later it might mean that you ended up with too many chickens.

Now every egg is fertilized but for an egg to hatch it requires a more specific environment. Previously, a fertilized egg would hatch if it was kept above 15C, which has been changed to a range between 35C and 40C. Furthermore, an egg will become unviable if it is exposed to temperatures below 10C.



[h2]Chicken Management[/h2]
Considering the above changes you should now be able to control chicken breading and egg production with a combination of room temperature and available food. We will probably continue to tweak these values so feel free to provide some feedback once you've given it a go.

[hr][/hr]

While developing the new Rocket Update, we focused on making sure all of the new mechanics in space were automatable. However, some of the data exposed to the rocket UI on the rocket motherboard didn't get fully exposed to the logic system, making it hard for players to tap into the systems we did expose. Because of the amount of requests from the community, we've made more data available through the avionics to allow for more automation.

You can now access survey progression, discover progression, chart progression, and many values associated with asteroid composition, of your set destination.

This work also included behind-the-scenes work to increase the limit on logic values the game can use. But with that out of the way, we can support thousands of more logic types, so keep the requests for more data.

This may not come as a surprise, but Stationeers is a game about building stations. For a long time there has been a big divide amongst new players. Some jump in, want to take care of their needs, build an airlock, expand their little station to get hydroponics growing all their seeds to feed themselves, and start routing wires, pipes, and chutes around the station as they build all the machines they can. Others launch the game for the first time, and see enough food and water in their lander to keep them alive for a while. They build all their machines outside, progress through the production tree rather quickly, eat and drink in a vacuumed out cube, and run out of things to do. They fail to encounter problems that require the engineering challenges that are at the heart of what makes Stationeers so much fun.

Getting players to build rooms and then really live in them ensures that players interact with all the systems of the game, and makes them experience the immersion, and free form engineering challenges that so many of us love.


We want to gently nudge players toward building a pressurized base and experience all the engineering and base building that comes along with that. Currently, we're focusing our efforts on giving the player a reason to remove their suit. To do that we've introduced a mood and Hygiene system. These straightforward systems are intended to provide players with obvious station-building goals, while not feeling too much like a punishment if you struggle to deal with them.



[h2]Hygiene[/h2]
Hygiene has no direct effect on a character's attributes but will affect the mood of the characters once it drops too low. Being in a suit with the helmet closed is a surefire way to have your hygiene drop, and hard suits are especially bad. Opening your helmet will slow your hygiene from getting worse and getting out of your suit will allow hygiene to naturally refresh over time. Explained in detail further down, you can construct and supply a shower to instantly refresh your hygiene to higher than default levels.



[h2]Mood[/h2]
Your mood will drop if your hygiene is depleted or if you take damage. It's fairly easy to avoid in most cases. If you find yourself with a low mood it can easily be fixed by hanging out in your base and increasing your hygiene. If your mood gets too low it will cause your hunger to drop faster, and if it becomes critical then your tool usage and movement speed will take a very minor debuff.

[h2]Food Quality[/h2]
Eating higher quality food will now give you a buff in the form of increased maximum hydration. Eating uncooked food will negatively impact your maximum hydration but canned and complex foods will give you a big boost to max hydration.



[hr][/hr]

Not only the fastest way to replenish hygiene but using a shower will provide a higher level of hygiene than simply being out of your suit. It requires a clean water source and will output Polluted water that will need to be processed before it can be used.



[hr][/hr]

Polluted water is a new liquid with very similar water but cannot be used by devices that require fresh water. The shower will produce polluted water that will need to be cleaned. Polluted water will freeze into polluted water ice but will boil off into regular H2O steam. In the future more machines may produce polluted water, and more machines may be able to use polluted water. This is also acting as a test for us to start adding more liquids and gasses to the game in the near future.



[hr][/hr]

The Water Purifier works by consuming coal or charcoal and using it to filter polluted water back into regular H2O.


[hr][/hr]

To make managing hydration less of a chore we've introduced a drinking fountain that you can replenish your thirst with. By scattering these around your base you can easily stay hydrated.



[hr][/hr]

This fire extinguisher replaces the old one. It functions the same when it has a canister filled with any inert liquid.




[hr][/hr]

This hand torch makes a nice addition to your tool-belt. It has two modes, a narrow and a wide beam.



[hr][/hr]

As you've probably noticed the day counter has been broken. While this update fixes the day counter, and in turn means that storms will now happen again. You can expect a few more updates to this but functionally all the worlds should be working and the behavior should remain the same going forward.

[hr][/hr]

[h3]Those who have played both games will recognize many similarities not just in the game itself, like a focus on in-world interaction and knowledge bases, but also in our approach such as regular updates driven by community engagement and interaction.

ICARUS is a PvE survival game for up to eight players. Explore a savage wilderness in the aftermath of terraforming gone wrong. Survive the Open World, complete timed Missions or build your Outpost. Explore, build, craft and hunt while seeking your fortune and prospecting for exotic matter. [/h3]

[h2]Change Log v0.2.4870.22138[/h2]

• re-added time offsets to world starts where needed. Notably Vulcan starts at dusk, Venus starts at its reversed morning, and Moons start at non eclipsed mornings.
  
• Fixed LodFlares not working on wall lights
  
• Fixed Global Atmosphere Temperature on Vulcan would change very suddenly at dawn and dusk.
  
• Fixed Atmospheric Ambience audio not correctly matching time of day on Vulcan and Europa.
  
• Made new timescale calculation take into account day to sidereal day ratio for correctly sizing timescale to target 20 minutes.
  
• Added back all the moons to be defined as tidally locked and added the tidally locked field to RotatingCelestialBody.
  
• Refactored CalculateTimeScale. Removed unnecessary calculations and started using existing properties for the remainder of the calculations.
  
• Fixed Europa started on uint.MaxValue days past due to a negative value not being handled.
  
• Changed SetAllBodies function now takes the total simulation time instead of Real time. This means that time-scale changes mid playthrough no longer change the number of simulation days past. Simulation time is now the value that drives the simulation and is synced to clients. TotlRealTime is still stored for debugging purposes.
  
• LongitudeAtEpoch is now used as a definition of the start of the year, instead of an offset. This means worlds should now start on day 1, regardless of orbital position configuration.
  
• Changed timeoffsets of all planets to 0, to ensure correct time initialization.
  
• Fixed recent regressions preventing tidally locked moons from correctly counting days
  
• Removed unused Network write and read methods from celestial.cs
  
• Refactored Removed Celestial Update() function. OrbitalSimulation.UpdateAllBodies now runs through the same code path as OrbitalSimulation.SetAllBodies
  
• Added Double Lerp to RocketMath.
  
• Fixed time of day variable being wrong.
  
• Fixed day counter third pass - A general clean up and and refactor of the work that has been done. Removed and consolidated a lot of duplicate code for the calculations of current angle
  
• Changed The orbital simulations accumulated realTime is now calculated back from the PlayerBody's TrueAnomaly.
  
• Reverted change from rev22108 that was writing the TrueAnomaly of every orbital body to clients every tick.
  
• Fixed Orbital Simulation on client not in-sync with server.
  
• Fix for day passing spam on clients. Days passed was being sent to clients and then a different number of days passed was also being sent to the client and they were constantly overwriting each other causing spam in the clients console
  
• Fix Second pass on fixing day counter. Day counter is now working for moons but requires slightly more work to be completely accurate.
  
• Added FoodQuality Tooltip to player stats tooltip.
  
• Fixed HygieneCritical Status Update was not registered causing the critical hygiene icon to sometimes not show on clients.

• Added the ability to overlay a comparison to another gas to the Phase Change diagram
  
• Fixed first pass on fixing day counter. Planetary rotation and translation are now based on a unified value instead of separate simulations.
  
• Fixed Default image for food quality not set correctly on new game.
  
• Changed Shower and Drinking fountain to use same behaviour as WaterBottleFiller for assessing input pipe water safety. The presence of any toxic gasses or any other liquid types will cause the devices to error. Non toxic gasses pressurising the pipe will allow the device to operate as normal.
  
• Fixed Gas Logic Variables not exposed on Condensation and Evaporation Chamber.
  
• Fixed A number of devices were not respecting validity of their input and output pipe networks when running their atmospherics tick. This was causing pipe contents to get deleted when removing pipe segments from pipe-networks attached to operating machines.
  
• Fixed Placing a device that connected to a DataCable that had a computer with a rocketMotherboard on the same data network could throw an exception locking the player and preventing any future interactions.
  
• Fixed sliding panels on atmospheric devices open/closed state being inverted
  
• Added Sounds and animation to drinking fountain.

• Fixed shower kit to only stack to 5
  
• Fixed Missing cases in PartialPressure function.
  
• Fixed plants causing error spam when planted
  
• Added boiler-plate code for 'polluted water' liquid type. Is not used so should not effect current gameplay. Implementation with shower plus stationpedia details and icons to come.
  
• Added a bonus to showering. Fully showering will give a bonus amount of hygiene past what you get from other forms of improving hygiene
  
• Removed the Hygiene and Mood bars(mood and hygiene are still functioning the same but the exact % of these are not made available to the player)

This hotfix addresses the issue with an error being thrown by dedicated servers that is preventing them from running.

[h2]Meson Scanner[/h2]
This scanner allows you to view an AR projection of pipe and cable networks. The colors of cables and pipes will be correctly represented. This can be extremely useful when expanding bases with complex or hidden networks.



[h2]Celestial Scanner[/h2]
The celestial scanner allows you to view the location of all of the orbital bodies in the solar system, You can see the name and distance of each celestial body. Again, this is just for fun, however, it could help you while working with the newly added telescope.



[hr][/hr]




You can use this tool to fire flares high into the sky where they will burn bright and linger. They can be used to guide home a lost Stationeer, or used to light up a large area at night while out on a mining mission.

This is the same as a normal passive vent, but the vent will not transfer heat. This can be useful for situations where you want to use a passive vent on a wall but don't want energy transfer from the other side.



[hr][/hr]

The Ground Based Telescope and Celestial Tracker can provide information about celestial bodies. While the utility from these devices is limited it can be a fun way to explore the new orbital system and lays the groundwork for future content. An example might be tracking certain objects and extracting certain information may unlock new or better traders.

When aimed at a body in space, the Ground Based Telescope it will provide celestial information about the target. The Celestial Tracker is constructed in a rocket and will report the orientation information for a celestial object which can be used by telescopes and other devices.



[hr][/hr]

As a continued effort to increase the information we provide via tooltips items in the manufacturing machine now have their recipe included in their tooltips. This provides what is need and what is currently available in the manufacturing machine.

A fix for timescale offsets has been made that was causing time issues. This, along with some incorrectly authored data, was especially affecting Venus. Days were not being correctly normalized to 20 minutes. This precision issue has been moved from about 100 days to 1 billion years.

It's not quite ready yet but after a little more testing and fixing the day-length setting will return to the world creation screen.

[h3]Stationeers is a small niche project. We know times are tough and our project isn't for everyone. So if you like the work we do, we would love to encourage you to spread the word, grab our supporter DLCs, and watch Stationeers content creators on places like twitch and youtube. We want to keep developing this game for many years, well beyond any early access release and to do this we need your support[/h3]

[h2]Change Log v0.2.4765.21864[/h2]

• Added ground telescope recipe to electronics printer
  
• Added Insulated Passive Vent. Kit is made from the Pipe bender. This is the same as a normal passive vent, but the vent will not transfer heat. This can be useful for situations where you want to use a passive vent on a wall, but don't want energy transfer from the other side.
  
• Fixed ground based telescope auto rotate during placement not working correctly
  
• Fixed being able to open/close the telescope when it is unpowered
  
• Temporarily disabled mood, hygiene and food quality vitals in the ui
  
• Fixed an issue where autosave could get stuck.
  
• Cleaned up autosave logic.
  
• Changed Europe world to be a slightl different lat/lon so that the dawn doesnt occur and then eclipse shortly after. Instead, because juputer will show at the horizon it means that dawn occurs during the eclipse, so the sun will appear after passing behind jupiter but be unobstructed for the rest of the day.
  
• Added systeminfo command that prints debug information to the console.
  
• Fixed celestial and other textures would not be loaded from mod or workshop folders.
  
• Fixed time offsets for new worlds. Now timescale command has been deprecated, in favor of orbit timescale
  
• Fixed Celestial textures for mods would not be loaded, as only the core data folder is searched.
  
• Added TimeOffset xml element for CelestialConstants for defining the offset time to start a world.
  
• Deprecated the TimeScale command, as it is now more properly part of the orbital commands.
  
• Added orbit timescale n, where n is the desired timescale. This more correctly allows timescale setting to be included with the orbital simulation.
  
• Added TimeScale for Orbital Simulation is now synchronized with clients to allow different saves to have different day lengths and still be synchronized properly in future.
  
• Fixed out of date comment
  
• Adjusted how food quality works. Will no longer decrement over time and instead will move towards the quality of the last thing you ate.
  
• Rework of SensorLenses sounds.
  
• Added Open/Close sounds to ground based Telescope.
  
• Fixed lever/switch sounds playing in incorrect position when the parent transform of the interaction object was offset from the root parent transform.
  
• Made entity mood decrease relative to damage rather than using a fixed value
  
• Updated table dock mesh, so it can be correctly connected to workbenches.
  
• Added mood, hygiene and food quality values to the vitals section of the hud
  
• Update lights with the colour black to produce white light instead of no light at all.
  
• Hygiene will now increase when not wearing a suit and helmet
  
• Changed mesh size of corn growth stages. (art asset)
  
• Fixed TimeScale has to be manually calculated for planets to normalize to 20 minute days, making it difficult to renable players for setting day length. Now the rough estimate needed timescale is generated and then modified for the orbital average day length to get the correctly adjusted timescale to achieve a sidereal day length of the required time. Currently hardcoded to 20 minutes, but the setting will be added to new world screen soon.
  
• Fixed WorldParticleEffect was creating a series of coroutines and was not checking for existing ones, causing memory leak when enabled. Now does not do this and has been ported to using a UniTask.
  
• Added ability to force things to not use the texture array colour texture as this was stopping things rendering in the portrait view. This fixes glasses and sensor lenses not being visible in player portrait view.
  
• Added sidereal day calculations to Celestial bodies.
  
• Rebalanced Venus rotational speed to have real days/year a ratio, while still having 20 minute long real days.
  
• Gave Asteroid Belt orbital values similar to earth.
  
• Rebalanced GroundBasedTelescope sounds to be less clunky when tracking a slow moving object.
  
• Added Rocket Celestial Tracker now only allows tracking of sun when not in orbit, for calibration purposes. When attempting to track other objects when landed will get NaN values. Tooltip will also indicate this for the player.
  
• Added Rotation sounds to GroundBasedTelescope
  
• Fixed more circumstances where stars would appear to "swim" and lag behind while moving the camera.
  
• Fixed going into third person the camera position isnt taken into account when rendering the skybox so you can poke your head through jupiter etc which is quite disturbing and can generate an existential crisis.
  
• Fixed SearchBar not working on Logic Hash Gen Input Panel.
  
• Added new width for lines of code. Was 52, now 64. Additionally started displaying total file size and maximum file size, although this is not currently enforced.
  
• Fixed Robot Battery consumption rate was not altered by difficulty settings. Added a new difficulty setting that is part of metabolism category. https://stationeers.atlassian.net/browse/STAT-3651
  
• Fixed Grow light does not have Lock state https://stationeers.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/STAT/issues/STAT-3785
  
• Fixed reagent processor was using a coroutine. Moved to using a unitask to reduce memory garbage collection.
  
• Fixed a bug where centrifuges wouldn't output a stack of more than 50 even if the ore's max was higher
  
• Fixed material on new corn model.
  
• Fixed Corn used pistol grip anim and plays default equip sound. now uses side grip like other plants.
  
• Updated corn texture.
  
• Updating corn mesh.
  
• Changed Sensor lenses sound fades down to a lower volume over 15sec.
  
• Changed Sensor lenses visual effect cleans up a bit and the scrolling bar fades out over 15 seconds.
  
• Fixed Collisions on rear of cable-less elevator shaft
  
• Added tooltip to manufactory selection screen that will show the recipe requirements as well as what is in the machine, to help you know whether you can make the item you are selecting or not.
  
• Fixed Mined ores would go into first free slot of mining-belt/mining-backpack even if there was an incomplete stack of the same type in the belt. Now ores will preferentially stack with any incomplete stacks and any remainder will go into the first available slot.
  
• Fixed moodlets throwing errors when their ui elements were not being cleaned up correctly on leaving a game
  
• Fixed Error when assigning pooled audio source to thing that is being destroyed.
  
• Fixed Crowbar sound could get stuck sometimes when opening Apc.
  
• Added Elevator shafts no longer need to have power connection to each shaft piece. Now if any piece is connected, all pieces are considered connected.
  
• Added two new elevator shaft/level prefabs that have no power or data cable connection. These can be used to place elevators inside enclosed spaces.
  
• Added minor refactors to some powered devices to reduce memory garbage collection.
  
• Fixed AutoSave now uses threadPool rather than creating a new thread.
  
• Fixed several cases where AutoSave thread was not being closed out when AutoSave was cancelled or copy world data failed.
  
• Adjusted wind turbines build states as the required tools for construction/deconstruction were overlapping in a few of the states making it frustrating to build
  
• Fixed a bug where dropping an item while in construction mode did not cause the player to exit construction mode despite no longer holding the proper item in their hand
  
• Fixed Switches do not have a lock state, so can't be properly locked.
  
• Added more tooltip information to the Rocket Avionics and Downlink.
  
• Refactored UI tooltip generation for rocket UI.
  
• Added build states to Downlink.
  
• Fixed Logic Switch and Buttons would not respect lock state. Now they will not be user interactable if their Lock state is set. Credit: MrDropin via Discord.
  
• Fixed airconditioner build state would sometimes leave UI elements shown when they should not be. Credit: Falcon via discord.
  
• Fixed Rocket batteries were hidden in Stationpedia
  
• Added Build states to Rocket Batteries. Old saves will automatically load in at completed build state.
  
• Fixed Flickering during near or current eclipses when camera is moving. The physics update was not entirely sync'd with the transform and orbital simulation updates so it was impossible to verify exactly the state for the purposes of eclipse generation. Now to begin (or end) an eclipse, the state is measured over several frames.
  
• Fixed DiodeSlides would not initialize their color correctly when loading. Credit: OwnerOfThePlace via Discord.
  
• Fixed traders would rip you off when buying items that contained more than one kind of mole type. So if you bought a fuel mix, they would give you a canister that only contained the last mole (oxygen). This was because Set was used, and not Add. Now Add has been implemented, so the traders will fully populate the mole settings for anything they are using. Credit: Drone via Discord.
  
• Added more information to the Rocket Uplink tooltip. Now shows whether it is connected to a downlink or not, and what rocket avionics is on the network (if any).
  
• Added True Anomaly value to Ground Telescope output.
  
• Fixed possible issue with batteries causing a lot of heat. Batteries in a cold environment will lose heat into the environment but the code was also setting "Sparked" to true for the atmosphere, which would cause ignition for anything.
  
• Fixed Vulcan new world page from showing the wrong parent body name
  
• Added sixth pass to Ground based telescope. All variables are not linked with logic system. Partial alignment will give some details, full alignment required for orbital details.
  
• Fixed the "rotation drift" bug. This is where, over time, the position of celestial objects drifts from the position they should be. An example would be playing on Europa and noticing that Jupiter, over long times, moves away and then comes back. This was caused by rotation values for planets around their axis being stored as "floats", when a much higher precision is needed. To avoid this in future there will be a data change, which will affect any mods. However mod makers can deal with this in advance by putting new values in and leaving the old ones. Previously it would have taken just 108 days in the simulation before 1 degree of drift occurred. Under the new approach, it will take approximately 121.6 billion years.
  
• Fixed structure batteries would not show their powered state in their on/off button correctly.
  
• Added fifth pass to the Ground Telescope. Now correctly orients itself and shows its data correctly in tool. Locks controls when it is locked.
  
• Fixed moodlets throwing errors when respawning
  
• Added prototype moodlet system and hygiene, mood and food quality moodlets. Can be toggled with 'entity togglemoodlets' command.
  
• Added prototype system where players mood will now decrease when they take damage
  
• Fixed a bug where dragging a thing onto the flare gun would cause it to become stuck in the hidden chamber slot
  
• Fixed the positioning of the flare gun so it no longer clips into the player's hand
  
• Added wip hygiene and food quality stats to entity. These are debug only for now and do not affect any other systems.
  
• Added Fourth pass on Ground Telescope. Now will display details in tooltip for the celestial it is pointing at. Contains a bug where the vector is influenced badly by the player moving around.
  
• Added new meshes and thumbnails for celestial scanner chip and meson scanner chip
  
• Fixed thumbnail for Reinforced Window (Thin) to show the correct mesh
  
• Added second pass of Ground Telescope.
  
• Fixed serious loading issue that would not apply Angle at Epoch for orbital bodies when setting the accumulated delta time in the orbital simulation. This resulted in the sun (and other bodies) being offset different from when loading.
  
• Added first pass of ground telescope, that will provide celestial information of what they are targeting.
  
• Added Icon Images for Genes and Variables to stationpedia to make it clearer what various pages were.
  
• Added ability for sensor lenses chips to have different power consumption
  
• Added celestial scanner sensor lenses chip which will show you the celestial bodies (wip current visualization will be the same as the orbit debug)
  
• Added missing meta file for rocket battery prefab
  
• Reverted changes to arc furnace. Material and activate button should now be showing correctly.
  
• Fixed logic math not showing correct operation in the tooltip
  
• Fixed rocket battery kit not showing correct blueprint when attempting to use precision placement
  
• Fixed incorrect materials on arc furnace
  
• Added Important Page highlighting to Stationpedia and sorting order prioritization. Now important pages such as categories and guides will be displayed first in search results and distinguished with an icon and back highlighting. This will make it easier for players looking for guides or information to find it.
  
• Added recipe for Rocket Celestial Tracker to Rocket Manufactory.
  
• Fixed Sidereal Year values was incorrectly shown in user interface.
  
• Added missing change to meson scanner material
  
• Fixed meson scanner performance issues and fixed some flickering colours
  
• Added Rocket Celestial Tracker kit and cleaned up the tracker itself in code.
  
• Removed some unused namespaces from celestial tracker which were causing build issues
  
• First pass of fixing some of the tutorials.
  
• Added ordered loading of things in save files. This will migrate new saves to be stored in order they are required to be initialized, saving time during load.
  
• Removed deprecated SunTime command.
  
• Added SetBatteries ? command. This will recharge all batteries for debug purposes. Optional parameter is the BatteryState enum to set the batteries to, such as Full. Default is Full.
  
• Second pass of RocketCelestialTracker. Now reports the Horizontal and Vertical alignment in degrees to the logic system as well as the celestial hash of what it is tracking.
  
• Added first pass of Rocket Celestial Tracker. Placeholder art currently used. This device sits on the rocket and will report orientation information for celestial objects that can then be used by telescopes and other devices.
  
• Removed some unused code from the previous meson scanner implementation
  
• Tweaked the meson scanner to look better. Will now render pipe and cable meshes as an overlay.
  
• Added Sounds to Flare gun.
  
• Fixed Flare gun not working on clients.
  
• Changed Increased render distance of roadFlare and increased range of roadFlare light when launched from flare gun.
  
• Reduced time flares stay alive from 5 to 3 minutes.
  
• Fixed Flare-gun shoot direction is now set by the players AimIK.
  
• Fixed Autosave threads not being closed out once autosave was complete.
  
• Added first pass on meson scanner chip which can be used with the sensor lenses to see pipes and cables behind structures (wip visualization)
  
• Added missing meta files for a few textures
  
• Fixed terrain generation was using a coroutine. Switched to a unitask.
  
• Fixed accidental renamed variable in dlcmanager
  
• Added suit for future content
  
• Added wearing a hard-suit lowers mood twice as fast.
  
• Added Flare Gun tool
  
• Modified Road Flares to have a fuse timer and a slow descent when fired from a flare gun
  
• Removed unused room lookup in the room manager (currently used room lookup is already present in the room controller).
  
• Added Prototype Mood Stat to Character. Mood decreases while in a suit over a 2 hour period and can be fully regained over a 10minute period when in a room and not wearing a suit and helmet. Currently Mood has no gameplay effect by can be observed with eth debug command "entity state "
  
• Added Mood reduction multiplier to DifficultySetting.
  
• Added prototype room classification system. Room rules can be created in roomtyperules.xml and can currently only be viewed when using the atmos room debug visualizer.
  
• Moved some room related classes out into their own files rather than having them all in one big file
