Dear Drone Engineers,

We just released a patch for the racing update on the preview branch!
Please post your feedback in the discussion forum.


We are interested in getting more feedback about the new modes and racetracks. What do you like about them? What can be improved? 

Patchnotes

  • Fixed catch mode locations on galaxy map that did not award points when won

  • Fixed wrong gravity and air resistance settings in the race test area
  • Fixed lava planet cores not spawning
  • Fixed focussing on camera tracker parts
  • Fixed faulty waypoint behaviour when tracker parts got destroyed
  • Fixed where factories would explode on startup
  • Fixed issue of factories printing parts with wrong rotation
  • Fixed shield offset when panning and zooming the camera
  • Fixed false positive detection of sensors inside the drone workshop
  • Fixed physics glitches with the sticky bullets upgrade
  • Fixed the Around Me option on the leaderboards, it now shows the scores correctly
  • Fixed that the highscore list got messed up when toggling the options too fast
  • Fixed that gravity and air resistance was wrongly set in the PvP modes
  • Fixed the ESC button on the drone import file browser
  • Fixed wrong naming of AI drones in the tournament

Reworks

  • New universe seed and star system balancing
  • New race minimap icon for drone
  • Renamed normal races to manual races for clarification
  • Changed the look and feel of the proximity sensor 
  • Smoothed camera movement
  • Limited maximum zoom of the camera, it will now focus your drone instead of zooming too far out.
  • Catch Arena now has randomized start position of catch target and new spawn locations

Balancing

  • Reduced Afterburner thrust by 25% and lowered needed thrust limit to 115
  • Sensor and logic parts are no longer allowed for manual races, as it was not inteded to just use your autonomous drones to get the highscore
  • Increased maximum range of proximity sensor from 15 to 30
  • Increased maximum range of distance sensor from 60 to 100
  • Factory parts are no longer allowed in races, as they were mainly used to print fuel, which was not intended

 

Due to balancing changes, the leaderboards of the racetracks and the dronepool of the racing and catch mode have been reset.

Happy testing!

Cheers,
Stray Fawn Studio
