Stationeers News

In this update, we've focused on performance, specifically for players with large automated bases experiencing lower frame rates. Key improvements include optimizing physics and chutes, reducing physics update tick time by 50% through better caching for dynamic objects in slots, and improving server tick for bases with many chutes and chute devices.

Additional enhancements encompass streamlining the decay tick, Trading Motherboard Computer screen interface, Satellite Dish scanning logic, and the Computer screen render optimization. These performance updates aim to provide a smoother, more responsive gaming experience, particularly for players with complex bases.

We've added some quality of life improvements for those who own the Hem Droid DLC. Although these have been designed for the Hem Droid the Disposable Battery Charger can be used by other species as well, to recharge their suit battery.




[h2]Hem Droid Sleeper[/h2]

While regular sleepers have catered to the other species, Hem Droids have been missing a dedicated option. The Hem Droid Sleeper is specially designed for Hem Droids. As long as it has the required power it will keep Hem Droids batteries charged.

[h2]Disposable Battery Charger[/h2]

For emergency situations we've introduced the Disposable Battery Charger that can partially recharge your battery immediately. When used it is consumed but will recharge the battery of your suit, or if you’re a hem droid, the battery in your suit.

[h2]HEM-Droid Repair Kit[/h2]

The HEM-Droid Repair Kit has been added to the game for players using Hem Droid characters and functions as the heal pill does for the other species.




We've included a 3x1 stairwell to offer a more compact option for moving up and down your base. This new stairwell design aims to optimize space and improve navigation within your Stationeers base.





We're actively working on improving our localization from multiple angles: Ensuring more of the game is localizeable, having the game localized for some languages, as well as improving the pipeline, both for us as well as for community translations.

We are paying for languages to receive a full new pass of translation, and then will accept community suggestions for better localization. This should help provide cleanup on the current messy state where some English strings were changed, but not retranslated.

[h3]Chinese Voice Pack added[/h3]

The voice pack we're adding this week is Chinese! You can also select the voice pack independent of the localized text. This means you can have your suit voice pack warnings in German, Russian, or Chinese, while still having the text in English. More voice pack languages will be added in the future as well.




Over the last year, we’ve completely refactored the net code making multiplayer more stable, we’re continuing to improve the connectivity, and we’ve improved some big systems to allow us to bring you better content and new game loops. All this while transitioning to a weekly update cycle.

All the community support, feedback, and involvement have made this possible. So thank you!

[h3]If you like the progress we have made, please consider taking a moment to leave a positive review. This makes a huge difference to the project. We've been working hard for the last five years, and feel confident the game has substantially improved over this time. Many projects steer clear of the hard tasks, and we are proud to have taken them on.[/h3]

Additionally, you can support us by purchasing DLC that we've made to allow those who enjoy the game to support us, and in return get something a little fun to use in-game.

We will be getting back to the larger themed updates soon but for now, we’ve been focusing on two main things: Improving multiplayer through the addition of Steam P2P, and bug fixing and improvements.





[h3]Why was it removed in the first place?[/h3]
When we prioritized the low-level changes during the multiplayer refactor, we had to temporarily remove the existing implementation of Steam P2P. Now that we've completed that work, Steam P2P has been re-enabled.

[h3]What does this mean for you?[/h3]
Previously, hosting a game required enabling upnp on your router or manually port forwarding, which could be difficult or impossible on some networks. However, with Steam P2P, all the tunneling is handled automatically, so you can connect to the host using your Steam ID.

If Steam P2P is not available for some reason, the game will fall back to direct connect, or you can manually enter the IP and Port.



[h3]What's next?[/h3]
This now puts multiplayer Stationeers in the best state that it's ever been. Earlier today we had a 10-player play test that went very smoothly. If you've been holding off playing due to connection issues preventing you playing with your friends then perhaps now is a good time to try again.

Of course we'll continue to harden and polish multiplayer but we are very happy with the progress over the last 12 months.


This patch we’ve been focused on finding and fixing a number of bugs and UX issues associated with growing plants. We’ve improved the UX of the plant analyser cartridge to clearly show when a plant is deficient in either light or darkness. Time spent in a light or dark deficient state will cause the plant to accumulate illumination stress which will slow down growth speed.





We’ve done a lot of bug fixing to address some issues that have come up from the last updates, as well as a few older bugs. Next update will contain more of this kind of work as we take a step back to harden before we start work on the next big packet of work.


Over the last year, we’ve completely refactored the net code making multiplayer more stable, we’re continuing to improve the connectivity, and we’ve improved some big systems to allow us to bring you better content and new game loops. All this while transitioning to a weekly update cycle.

All the community support, feedback, and involvement have made this possible. So thank you!

[h3]Shuttles[/h3]
Shuttles come in 6 types, including small, medium, and large variants, each with normal and gas options. Shuttles can use a runway or make a vertical descent and require a landing pad of different sizes: 3x3 for small, 5x5 for medium, and 6x6 for large. Supporting the requirements of different shuttle types means you’ll get to trade with more of the visiting Traders.



[h3]Space Planes[/h3]
There are two types of space planes, medium and large. Unlike shuttles, space planes cannot land vertically, require a runway, and only appear on planets with an atmosphere. Due to being designed to operate in diverse atmospheres, they are able to still land during storms, unlike shuttles. Space planes also need a larger landing pad size: 7x7 for medium and 9x9 for large. A minimum runway length of 15 and 20 is required for medium and large space planes, respectively.

Trader requirements are visually displayed when using the comms motherboard, and trader sizes can be accessed from logic.
https://sketchfab.com/models/5de5344d3fb74f09805cc269bb17c5a3/embed





Vehicles entering the area from space have a long approach as they slow down from orbit. To better guide traders to the landing pad and avoid them crashing into mountains and buildings, you can use beacons and runway taxi pieces. Beacons can be placed and configured to guide traders through the air to the landing pad, while runway taxi pieces define the entry point of a runway and a path to the center piece.

Planes require a threshold piece and a runway to land. Additionally, Taxi Hold pieces can be used to stop traders on the runway until Activate is called on the landing pad center or via the activate button on the landing pad power data module.



Combining all these pieces allows you to fully customize the descent of the aircraft and may be required to prevent collisions. To make it easier to create a suitable landing area for traders, the landing pad pieces have been split into three new kits: Basic, Runway, and Atmospheric.


Large shuttles and planes have a chance of carrying human traders. However, human traders require a breathable atmosphere before they will exit their craft and trade with you. To accommodate human traders, you'll need to build a hangar that can be pressurized.




Options have been added to the Comms Motherboard to allow you to choose which landing pad and satellite dish will be used.




If you don't have a suitable landing pad and runway, traders will collide, cause damage, and explode. Be sure to create an appropriate landing area to avoid this from happening. Be especially careful of planes, if your runway is not long enough then they will overshoot and potentially crash.

The previous trader updates changed the way you contact and summon traders, and this update finally changes who the traders are, and what they trade. We've done a complete overhaul on how the traders and their wares are defined. Previously, traders and their goods and prices were programmatically generated, but this is now all hand authored. These changes were all designed with mod support in mind, and modders can create new unique traders easily.

Traders now, in general, only trade more basic items rather than fully manufactured goods. They also don't buy and sell the same things, but rather they will buy items that make thematic sense. For example, the alloy trader sells alloys but wants to buy ores. Traders will also occasionally want to sell or buy special items.


[h2]New Trader Types[/h2]
There are currently 5 unique traders, each buying and selling their own unique set of goods. Higher Tier versions of the traders will trade a wider variety of items.
They are:

• Ore Trader: More Ore Less
  
• Alloy Trader: All Alloys
  
• Hydroponics Trader: Green Futures
  
• Gas Trader: Gas For Less
  
• Construction Trader: Build INC
  

With two new landing pad modules you can now load gas and water into your landing pad storage allowing you to sell it to the traders. Hovering over the gas icon will display a tooltip letting you know the exact conditions of the gas mixture that the trader will accept.

The landing pad has a single storage atmosphere. The capacity of this storage atmosphere is expandable but is not intended as long term storage and you will need to purge it before loading in a new gas mix to sell, otherwise it will mix with the existing one.






Since the traders are more bespoke and sell a more well defined set of goods a new UI was required to display this information in a better way. The UI is designed to provide a better trading experience. The buy and sell sections are separated into their own tabs, and each trade item is made larger and easier to parse.



How you complete trades has changed as well, previously you would select everything you wish to buy and sell and then submit your trade. Now you simply buy and sell as you go for each item.




We have one more trading update to come. In the next update you'll see us leveraging all the features and improvements we've made in the last four updates to finalize and polish the trading game loop. Traders with different size and environmental requirements will require you to set up your landing pad in different ways and encourage you to have multiple landing pads that meet these different requirements.






Over the last year, we’ve completely refactored the net code making multiplayer more stable, we’re continuing to improve the connectivity, and we’ve improved some big systems to allow us to bring you better content and new game loops. All this while transitioning to a weekly update cycle.

All the community support, feedback, and involvement have made this possible. So thank you!

[h3]If you like the progress we have made, please consider taking a moment to leave a positive review. This makes a huge difference to the project. We've been working hard for the last five years, and feel confident the game has substantially improved over this time. Many projects steer clear of the hard tasks, and we are proud to have taken them on.[/h3]

Additionally, you can support us by purchasing DLC that we've made to allow those who enjoy the game to support us, and in return get something a little fun to use in-game.
