Evening, everyone! We've just released a very small update that should fix a memory leak issue. We're aware of the other issues being reported and are actively working on another patch for later this week, but this was something we were able to fix for tonight. We're also in the process of updating the direct download builds available via GOG and Humble. 'Til next time!
Does that mean that the Issue with the Dirt / Sand Color will be fixed soon? What Issue?: Since 1.0 you only can place ONE color Variant for Dirt and Sand, thats usually not the one that the Planet already has. The color tool won't fix anything here because the type of Color isn't fitting into the planet.
Is that next patch going to include fixing the weird white box/visual tearing glitch that happens in fullscreen?
gotta love when your colonists jump in all excited to be alive. Good to hear more fixes coming along. Thanks for that, as every little bit helps.
That's not an issue. That's just a "feature" that anyone who builds, in this game that entirely revolves around building, hates.
I think the reasoning for it was that it would bloat the inventory when you collect dirt from different planets. Regardless, if that's the case, then a solution would that if there is no more place, the dirt automatically gets added to an existing stack in your inventory and takes that color. And that you can put stacks together, taking the color you put the dirtstack onto. Also shameless posting of my personal gripelist with the game currently: http://community.playstarbound.com/...s-with-the-game-some-major-some-minor.119416/
Everybody's going on about the dirt sand, and here I am over here wishing we had our Engine Power Down sound back that we lost in Koala days. Seriously, the sky.config file says it should be there but it isn't.....
I really hate it personally. It's very hard for me to ignore this part of the game and focus on the rest. Apparently it's a huge deal to me. :/
I will admit that the dirt thing can be a minor annoyance. There is a fix for temporary, and that is to find a color that you like... blue, green, pink, brown.... and paint ALL the visible dirt that color everywhere around your building/settlement/etc. But that's kinda meh to do, and it looks silly if you accidentally hit any stone, mud, etc with the paint tool. So you gotta be careful and do those areas one block at a time.
Inventory bloating? have you seen your food inventory?? stacks and stacks of potatoes, carrots and whatever else you picked trecking and having a nice walk on a random planet are now filling your inventory, bloating it with spoiling food! But yes, the dirt issue is something... terrible. I started building "sky islands" to prevent seein all that dirt... senseless coloured dirt...
Well, the Food Tab is usually ignored by Casual players anyways, lol. But yes, the non-stacking food is just bleh. But thankfully there's a mod out there that lets you stack food. Unfortunately, the Dirt Colors cannot be modded AFAIK.
Its eye glaring... to say the least... and yes, I use said mod, quite the miracle workers these modders are. Perhaps one day ill be able to go back to the land and build like I used to, being forced to the sky is nice and all, but my settlers are lemmings
That is not actually a bug - it was done intentionally by the developers. You will need to probably wait till the Bug Fixing Phase of 1.0 when they ask what future features the community wants to see.
What about the whole crew duplicating bug? I can't play the game; anytime I teleport anywhere, my whole crew duplicates.
If you're going to report lag, it would help us a lot if you'd provide specs about your computer such as OS, CPU, RAM, and GPU. I'm running Win7 on a 16GB, 3.5Ghz 6-Core AMD, with a GeForce 660 GTX and I'm getting very little fps drops in normal places. The game runs beautifully compared to Glad Giraffe.
