Dear Martians!
First of all, thank you very much for all the feedback regarding v0.137.1d we’ve been flooded with. Thanks to this, we were able to make significant improvements and today we are very happy to announce that version 0.142.4 is now available for testing on the public_testing branch.
Among other things, we fixed an issue with the looping animation displayed while sleeping. This was one of the most frequently reported problems. We also fixed a ton of other bugs.
Meanwhile we’re working on other builds, please try version 0.142.4 on! If no major problems occur, we will launch it to the default branch as well. Feel free to share your feedback, because this is what helps us improve the game the most.
Build v0.137.1d -> v0.142.4 Changelog (public_testing)
Below you can find a list of fixes and features that were implemented in v0.142.4.
Which features were added:
- Vegetables stay 100% fresh within an hour of being harvested

- Automatic rocket assembling on the workbench
- Autodrive for vehicles* (* To activate the autodrive, press C)
- Extended list of items that can always spawn in the abandoned bases
- Empty seed magazines being deleted after fully used
- Possibility to add more food-related buildings in the greenhouse: food processing unit, fridge and botany workbench* * This feature will allow you to place indoor equipment such as a fridge, botany workbench and food processing unit in the greenhouse. In order for them to work, you must provide them with separate fuses in the greenhouse's fuse box. We suggest taking unused fuses from other buildings or from the newly built connector, as showed below.
