Greetings Scavengers,

It's been a little while since the last Regular update on the main branch. Here's what's been happening.

We are moving Discord server!


For the past few months we've been split between the Squareplay Discord Server and a dedicated Space Trash Scavenger server.

It's not efficient, so we've decided it makes sense to migrate everything over to the SquarePlay Discord server.

Come join us! I'll be shutting down the channels in the legacy server to avoid confusion in the coming days.



Stability progress


After 4 months focusing almost entirely on bug fixing and stability (ok and some important balancing and difficulty sliders too), according to our analysis of the feedback, I have addressed 94.53% of the more than 2000 issues filed in game via pressing F1. This should mean 9 out of 10 issues anyone experienced since launch will no longer happen.

I'll continue fixing up any bugs I can reproduce, but I also think we can enter a new chapter of the dev cycle, where I focus more on adding specific new features and content to grow the game.

Exciting times! Be sure to file any suggestions you have in game by pressing F1, or raise ideas in Discord.

Loading in game


The game auto saves every 10 minutes, and it keeps a back up of five auto saves, in addition to five back ups of any manual saves you make. This means you can nearly always load a recent save to recover any crash or glitch - however in the past you had to leave to the Titles screen to do so. With this build, this is fixed so you can peruse and load any save from within the game.

Better crops, repair status and power save


I've improved the feedback on crops to show when they need watering. You can now also see how much damage you base has taken. Power (on/off) status of your machines is now also saved. Note, for legacy saves you will need to turn your machines on first load.

Better proc gen


Interior procedural generation has been tweaked again to ensure layout is consistent between save/load cycles. Note if loading a save from a prior build, you may need to jump to "re-roll" interiors correctly.

Join Experimental Branch


Over the past few weeks I've been continuously updating the Experimental branch with all of these fixes and tweaks - and today I'm setting them all live in the main branch. The Experimental Branch is the best place to play - and it really helps me improve the game as fast as possible.

Instructions on how to join are pinned here: Join the Experimental branch!

There have been a lots of other miscellaneous fixes and tweaks too. Check out the full changelog below.

Build 0.381



-Crops show low water meter when they have grown and require watering
-Crop colliders functioning better making crops much easier to harvest
-Check forward rotation box in reinforced walls to ensure matches wall 1
-Improve crop colliders so they are more easily watered and interact with regardless of growth stage.

-Boost up overrides boost down, which seems to get stuck for some players, possibly following alt-tab.
-Cannot boost while sleeping
-Correct rotation to up when walking up staircases on asteroids
-Update physical material so you don't slide down stairs on asteroids
-Prevent bug if drone rigid body not assigned when destroyed
-Reduce gravity cut off from asteroid distance by 25%, meaning less height required to take reach "space"
-Drone lasers do not damage other drones or player
-Fuel efficiency mods balanced
-Fuel efficiency mods stack and function correctly as percentage reductions
-Fix farming asteroid labels
-Fix stock market history loading
-Do not show stock alerts on load
-Can now load a prior save from in game, without exiting to titles!
-Correct brief rotation glitch when rotating an object.
-Correct Biotank holoshader on certain angles.
-Update solar cube exposed face calculations to correctly discern if obscured by machines, and not set to only 1 face available in error
-Update curved wall description.
-Remove unused colliders on mining outpost xl2 causing issues.
-Fix bug on certain outposts not finding cell holder.
-Update lacuna hatch to disable bolts which means they can be properly moved around by flying rig and do not stop movement of rig.
-Do not conveyor hatch or trash behind hatches if you fly your rig into it.
-Better turret check line of site better so should fire into your own base.
-Fix various typos.
-Permits say made by fabricator.
-Correct issue with making multiple items at once when spamming on and off on incubators
-Increase body max drag.
-Conveyor pads, splitters, drone masts and thruster do not show power toggle or power warnings incorrectly now.
-Updated terminate life support control remap to indicate fuel must be zero to function
-Gravity rotation behaves correctly if you disembark from rig that is adjacent to wreckage in space
-Update hold fetch drone hand position
-Update grenade collider
-Camera no longer obscured by grenades or drones when held in hand and directly between player and camera, causing strange but rare camera really close glitch
-Credits in hand scaled down and held better
-Balanced aim added.
-Enemies with laser fire will stop shooting through a wall if they move into a wall after shooting.
-Refactor player damage received to be more forgiving in its scaling.
-Entity core has a force applied on entity death so does not appear motionless.
-Balance enemy damage.
-Remove hot bar when open fabricator - to prevent glitches such as inventory or quadrant map getting stuck on screen if you used the hotbar while fabricator was open
-Fixed consistency of layout of proc gen interiors in mining asteroids and ships after a save load cycle. Reloading an existing save may change an existing layout once.
-Batteries save and load charge.
-On and off status of machines saved and loaded.
-Trash-tor beam now requires power to function (5 u/s).
-Trash-tor beam ceases to function if turned off or out of power.
-Fabricator filter status correctly resets on open close action
-Hide hot bar when in blueprint, stock market, gal map and jump drive states.
-Fix inventory filter tab to be correctly selected after pressing tab.
-Fix some inventory filter tab issues
-Correct ship interior proc gen and set starter ship
-Update hatches to usable layer so they block camera correctly
-Update hatch tutorial pop up to show when near hatches in all cases
-Only spawn ammonium rocks on asteroids in the industrial quadrants and beyond, where mining laser 2 is available
-Update interior check to not accidentally adjust gravity incorrectly in large mining asteroid craters, and update system to work with all other cases.
-Disable emission on mining loot crate when used.
-Remove erroneous farming trash from mines.
-Laser rifle 3 corrected to farming quadrant requirement
-Enable blueprint button tab to be on when clicked
-Tweak fence collider for more adjoined fence build options
-Fix recipe selector for incubators such as Chemforge staying on screen if you used it then accessed an autostorage that is turned off.
-Do not show yellow power warning when autostorage is turned off as it does not use power
-Increase default grapple range
-Mining drones do not target plutonium.
-Default health bars on rig items will always show when damaged. So you know what to repair.
-Grapple 2 is purple.
-Prevent wonky cube placement when attaching to floor panels after you have piloted rig
-Cannot open inventory when dead
-Add third rotation axis to stairs and more text to roof and floor descriptions.
-Improve rig stairs so do not apply lateral gravity force when you stand closely adjacent to them.
-Can embark and disembark stair traversal with little to no camera and player rotation. Stair use much less annoying.
-Set player physics to interpolate to see if improves rare cases of clipping into ships or asteroids at high velocity. Please let me know.
-Improve mining dwelling floor physics so do not get stuck on floor.
-Further slow dead bodies to try and prevent them flying off in some random cases and add velocity clamp
-Update some path finding so that drones should function in mines and ships more effectively
-Jump drive end sound synched on warp bubble shrink
-Marginal optimise on interior ship mine check
-Lockers dissolve in correctly when built.
-Fixed bug where player would sometimes turn very slowly in mines in rare cases.
