Stationeers News

A system to allow liquids to interact with devices has now been added that will mean that some devices will now have an adverse reaction to being submerged in water. Devices currently behave in one of two ways when in contact with liquids, they will either fry the attached cable or enter into an error state.

Manufacturing machines will enter an error state when in contact with liquids, and Area Power Controllers, Transformers and Station Batteries will blow the cables directly connected to them.

Before a device's cable blows you will be given some time visual and audio cues.



Currently the list of devices affected in this way is pretty short, but more interactions may be added later now that we have the system in place.

[hr][/hr]

The liquid visualizer had a lot of literal edge cases where it would not look that good, for example the liquid could clip through some configurations of walls and windows, as well as being hidden under flooring.



This is no longer the case as we are doing a simple check to see what configuration of walls is around the liquid visualizer and shift it as necessary.

Additionally, the screen space affect that you see when you're underwater would stop working if you left a game and started a new one, but this has now been resolved.

[hr][/hr]

A quick addition to the buoyancy system has allowed us to select some objects to not be buoyant. Again, we've just picked a select few items to enable this on and will add others as we see fit.
The current list of things that will sink are ores, ingots, and crates.



[hr][/hr]

To prevent a small film of liquid spreading through your entire base we made the decision to have small "pools" of water not spread at all. The result of this was that it was easy to end up with lots of small pools around your base that were hard to collect. We've done two things to help with this:

[h2]Floor Drain Collection Radius[/h2]
Floor Drains will now collect liquid from a 6-grid radius allowing you to have fewer floor drains to handle spilled liquids.



[h2]Liquid Vac[/h2]
The Liquid Vac is much more powerful now cleaning up liquids 50 times faster. This, combined with being able to see the small pools on top of flooring, should allow you to quickly clean up any pools of liquid.

[h2]Change Log v0.2.5284.23867[/h2]

• Fixed BatteryChargerSmall not being able to be connected to logic
  
• Changed SpaceOreStackSize from const to static for modding purposes
  
• Fixed Mars was getting too cold at night during its Solar apo-apse.
  
• Changed Global Atmosphere now has a fixed volume and its state is serialised in the save data.
  
• Changed Reworked how the global atmosphere is created and simulated. Phase-change can now occur in the global gas mixture. Gasses will now freeze into "icecaps" or condense into "ocean". Currently this simulation is not exposed to the player. We will be investigating ways of surfacing phase changes in the global atmosphere to the player in future updates via storms and or other visualisers.
  
• Fixed launch mount kit being invisible
  
• Updated Some future asset blockouts.
  
• Moved Methods form PoweredVentMultiGrid into a static library so they can more easily be used by other classes.
  
• Fixed some build issues due to imgui

• Fixed Passive Liquid Inlet not draining liquid from neighbouring grids when its grid was empty of liquid.
  
• Increased Speed of Liquid Vacuum.
  
• Added ISubmergedHandler to allow devices to have special behaviour when submerged. Currently, manufacturing machines will error when underwater and transformers and apc's will blow their cables.
  
• Added Prototype Extendable structure for testing.
  
• Fixed placement issue with structure Extension prototype.
  
• Added boolean value for buoyancy so that non-buoyant dynamicThings sink but not as fast as falling

• Fixed Underwater effect would not play upon loading into a game for the 2nd time.
  
• Removed Min liquid height clamping. (previous band-aid fix for liquid hidden inside floors).
  
• Fixed Liquid would sometimes be "hidden" underneath floors, it is now offset to the correct height so it sits on the floor.
  
• Fixed Liquid Visualiser Z-fighting and clipping through walls that were placed on an internal face of a grid.
  
• Optimised Liquid Rendering Update loop. Render batches are now calculated and prepared on the gameTick thread using a double-buffer approach. This avoids blocking the main game thread with a costly iteration of all atmospheres and a needless recalculation of the water meshes every frame.
  
• Fixed Liquid Vacuum and Liquid inlet not considering in-world liquid volume when performing their liquid movement logic.
  
• Fixed Liquid Visualiser Prep running in batch mode.
  
• Fixed Manufacturing machines would still build when in error state.
  
• Changed SubmergedHandler system to instead be handled case by case on device in the power tick. Made input and output cables on transformers, batteries and apcs burnout when the input/output port itself is under water rather than the entire device.
  
• Updated IsSubmerged to use the render threshold rather than zero for minimum atmosphere volume checks.
  
• Added 100ms update and 1000ms update to Thing. These are opt in slow ticks for main thread game logic. (i.e audio, fx)
  
• Added Spark effect and sounds to Apcs and transformers that are submerged in liquid.
  
• Refactored some duplicate code from battery, apc and transformer into ElectricalInputOutput.
  
• Added submerged effects to station battery.
  
• Refactored ISubmergeable functionality to bring it more in line with project standards.
  

Stationeers now has in world liquid simulations. Because of the phase change update, liquids became a major part of the game. They were allowed to exist in the world, but they were represented by a foggy steam effect, and they moved around in all dimensions just like a gas. The motivation behind adding realistic fluid movement is an expectation that the game created for itself. Stationeers has the best atmospheric simulation in gaming, and the game deserves to have fluid simulations accompanying it.



[hr][/hr]


Liquids now flow horizontally and preferentially pool downwards. Lower areas of your base will be prone to flooding when liquid pipes unexpectedly break, or conditions for phase change causes gas to condense around you. Fluids in world have an exaggerated volume, to allow for meaningful interactions with in world liquids to happen. It turns out, it is difficult to collect enough ices to create thousands of litres of water while on a barren lifeless world.



Stationeer's atmospherics operate as 2m*2m*2m cubes that update every half second. This presents limitations in terms of first person fidelity, and propagation speed. For liquids, we wanted to make sure they felt fluid enough to not feel too gamey. We got around many of the issues with grid based spread and flow by utilizing a new physics based solver.



We use a series of CPU driven particles to represent and test paths that fluids want to take. These Physics solver balls allow liquids to drop down ledges, or get sprayed out diagonally, to allow fluids to move multiple squares at a time, all without the same limitations as our .5s tick grid atmospheres. We'll also soon be utilizing this system to better implement smaller liquid interactions such as pipe bursts, sprinklers and ice melting.



[hr][/hr]


All this time, we've been saying liquids instead of water, and thats on purpose. All gasses in Stationeers can condense into liquids. Other fluids such as Liquid oxygen and liquid volatiles all look different in world. Unlike other games, we even allow separate fluids to mix and we accurately blend their colors together to really inform you of the disaster that may be mixing underneath you.



We've also worked significantly on creating effects that make liquids look cool while still matching Stationeer's scale and style. Water spreading has droplets that represent the physics solver fluid simulations. When water is spreading throughout already connected tiles, we analyse the volume, displacement and directional mixing ratios to create flow effects on the surface of the water to represent its movement direction and rate.

[hr][/hr]


All dynamic things except for entities, such as players and chickens, are buoyant. In the future we might expand this system to have things have different buoyancy or make some objects not be buoyant at all but during this first pass everything behaves the same.



[hr][/hr]


[h2]Interaction[/h2]
Representing fluids is important in of itself, but there are more game play systems we want to tie into. Vents are currently examples of devices that are aware of the surface level of the water, and will only start mixing with liquids when submerged, as opposed to interacting with the whole grid as normal. In the future we'll be making more devices interact with the fluids specially; such as APCs, transformers, and Batteries shorting out.



Fluids do currently interact with terrain. However, there are lots of edge cases that might cause water loss, or unexpected behavior. Once the new terrain system is done, we'll revisit how liquids interact with voxels, and potential performance improvements. This could eventually lead to us supporting larger liquid structures such as lakes, or weather effects that reflect global condensation like rain.


[h2]Liquid Vac[/h2]
Because liquids dont behave like gasses, small puddles often are left behind when draining areas. We've added the liquid vac as a way to allow players to manually interact with in world water. It has two modes, inwards, and outwards, so you can manually relocate water to another place in the world. We originally had it operate with liquid canisters that could be interchanged, the balance of canister sizes for other gameplay reasons prevented it from being super useful. In the future we plan at looking at a more solutions, such as a being able to attach to a dynamic canister, and having a gas vac variant as well.



[h2]Manual Floor Hatch[/h2]
While testing fluids flooding many of our bases, we kept wanting something that felt like a horizontal version of the manual hatch door. So we've added one so you can unwittingly spin the hatch wheel and dump a flood of water on yourself.

This hotfix includes fixes for two critical issues.

The first was a fix for some modded worlds having an empty global atmosphere caused by a change in the data that is not yet reflected in mods. If this invalid data is detected in mods, the mod will simply not be loaded.

The second was a localization issue that was preventing the game from launching for some languages.

We frequently get asked by the community how they can further support the development of Stationeers. We've decided to add three superficial Support the Developer DLCs. We picked bobble heads as the simple "thank you" item to our players who want to further support our team. These 3 figurines can be mounted to appliance benches. and do nothing... except wobble after bopping their heads when you walk past.

We've added a new type of passive vent with a built-in valve. Not only does this cut down slightly on complexity of a common use case of valves and passive vents, but it also means that when you close the valve the network is truly isolated at the passive vent instead of the isolation happening within closed pipes. We dont normally combine device functionality, but this singular mash up was requested enough, and provides solid utility to justify its existence.



[hr][/hr]

There is a new Steam Branch is called 'preterrain - pre-terrain rework update'.

We have some big new changes coming to Stationeers' terrain and atmospheric systems. This work does mean that there will be disruption to saves and mods. This branch exists to allow people to go back to play older saves.

Some mods will be broken with this update due to some low-level data changes that, in the long run, will improve authoring of worlds both for us and modders alike. Saves on un-modded worlds should be un-affected for now, however it is likely that some save may break in the future.

Please be patient with us as we work on these new systems. Once we're done there will be a much greater range of cool stuff we can do with worlds.

After initially making LArRE we received lots of requests and ideas from the community for extra functionality. Originally, we kept LArRE's scope and capabilities limited, so we could prototype properly in a quick and maintainable manner. Now, with all the positive feedback, instead of making one complicated device that does everything we decided to split these functions up into specialized versions. There are four new arms that replace the existing one.

Each arm is constructed by placing the corresponding dock. The new docks differ from the old LArRE arm in that arms can move off the rail into the dock, allowing other arms constructed on the same rail and move freely past.



[hr][/hr]




[h2]Cargo[/h2]
The cargo arm is made to interact with slots of devices and structures and is useful for things like changing filters, pulling items from lockers, and other slot-based tasks.

A key thing to note with the cargo arm is the concept of the target slot. This is a special slot targets a slot on the target structure and will be what the item that is picked up when the arm is activated. The target slot can be set by a dial on the dock, or by logic.

[h2]Collector[/h2]
The collector arm acts as a vacuum cleaner when set to inwards, sucking up loose nearby items, and when set to outward will eject the items.

[h2]Hydroponics[/h2]
The hydroponics arm can plant and harvest plants as well as place fertiliser into plant trays. It has an additional hopper slot which will feed items into the 'hand' slot when the hand slot is empty. Harvesting a different plant while the hand slot is full will be possible if the hopper slot is empty. The full behaviour of these two slots is described in the Stationpedia.

[h2]Atmospheric[/h2]
The atmospherics arm has a storage canister and can pump gas in or out. It has a filter slot so you can selectively extract gasses from a space.

When activated over a passive vent it will 'dock' with the passive vent and pump in or out of it, depending on the mode of the arm is in.

[h2]Bypass[/h2]
The bypass dock does not have an arm associated with it but allows for any arm to move off the main rail to allow other arms to move past.

[hr][/hr]




[h2]New Rail Pieces[/h2]
LArRE rails can now operate in all axis. This means arms can travel on walls facing sideways, and on floors facing upwards, etc. Several new pieces such as inner and outer corners, and quarter corkscrew pieces allow a full range of mobility.

[h2]Multi Arm Rails[/h2]
Rail network logic also has some new rules. Multiple docks can be built on a single linear rail, to allow multipurpose tracks. Though arms will collide with one another, so it's up the player to use the above-mentioned dock changes, and bypass docks to avoid traffic jams. Rails also now support being connected in a loop. Any LArRE Attempting to navigate to a location on a loop will take the path with the least stations.

[h2]Dock Restriction[/h2]
One new restriction is the inability for LArRE to interact with anything directly under its dock, as activate will attempt to trigger a dock/undock. This was required to keep LArRE's operation simple, without forcing every model to have an additional control.

[hr][/hr]


Since LArRE arms perform contextual actions on the devices they are over, they have the ability to potentially operate on multiple slots. We've added the concept of proxy slots to allow players to know the details of the slot they are about to interact with. These are listed in the Stationpedia as slots with the type "proxy", and they allow logic systems to point towards a static slot irrespective of the arm's internal variables changing what slot is focused. An example of this is the Cargo LArRE slot #255, which will show the slot of what his slot index dial is pointing towards.

• Changed the outer corner to make the arm rotate sideways rather than straight on.
  
• Tweaked the handling of inner corners for larry's linear rail. Should now be able to traverse a few arrangements where it would previously get stuck.
  
• Added Info about Proxy slot to Cargo and Hydroponics LArRE Stationpedia description.
  
• Added Quantity and Ratio logic values to LArRE Collector.
  
• Fixed Localisation error with LArRE Collector slots in stationpedia.
  
• Fixed cargo arm being able to view inaccessible slots
  
• Added Target slot name and occupant to LArRE Cargo info screen tooltip.
  
• Removed non-threadSafe call from RoboticArmDock.CanAccessSlot.
  
• Added left and right 'corkscrew' linear rail pieces.
  
• Tweaked ordering of rail pieces in linear rail kit.
  
• Fixed added missing worldmanager changes in base scene.
  
• Added thumbnails for linear rail corkscrew pieces.
  
• Fixed Robotic Arm Dock Hydroponics reading the contents of Chute bins if they contained plants
  
• Fixed incorrect tooltip text on collector larry.
  
• Fixed slot strings for collector dock in stationpedia
  
• Fixed incorrect position for collector arm
  
• Added Code to get LArRRE Current Junction Index.
  
• Fixed LArRE arms could reach through walls and frames.
  
• Allowed larry arms to traverse a looping rail network correctly. The arm will move to the target along the shortest path.
  
• Fixed LArRE blocking logic was registering a false positive with floors under planter trays preventing interaction.
  
• Changed linear rail deconstruction tool to be wrench.
  
• Changed prevented interaction with activate button when arm action is blocked.
  
• Added Tooltip to LArRE when arm action is blocked by wall or frame.
  
• Removed unused CanConstruct checks in larry code.
  
• Added Gas Tooltip to Atmospherics LArRE pipe meter.
  
• Added Input atmosphere logic values to LArRE Atmospherics arm. If the Arm is connected to a passive vent this will show the passive vents pipe atmosphere information, other wise will show the world atmosphere that the arm will interact with.
  
• Fixed Atmospherics LArRE was interacting with the atmosphere at the arms rail position and not at the vent position.
  
• Increased Shadow draw distance for small devices from 5m to 10m
  
• Fixed atmos LARrE not taking damage from over pressure
  
• Added small offset to vent atmos sampling for atmos robot arm
