Code optimizations:
A lot of time went to code optimizations. We reworked the belt system again to make the code even faster and more reliable. The google play synchronization also got a rework to make the code more logical. We can now save, load and delete the savegame in the google play cloud correctly.
Splitter:
We were able to add a belt part that splits a line in two or combines two lines into one. The splitter is still work in progress and needs a little tweaking but does its job pretty decent for now.
Satellite:
We worked hard to present you the new satellite, that handles the scan process and will provide more functionality in the future. Later the scanning will cost resources and will be a lot slower. We also included a mechanism for the satellite and the transporters that they can continue working while the player is in the sector view building and upgrading their factories.
Work on Maps:
We created a new map and did some work on the ones we already have. Props got added and we experimented with “Pixel Depth Offset” to smoothen material transitions between landscape and props like rocks or ores.
