StarMade 0.1836 New Tutorial and loads of fixes
Hello players,
this update contains a big bunch of bugfixes of some of the most annoying bugs which have been in for a while, small additions, and a brand new tutorial.
The tutorial consists of various new features added to the game in terms of scripting. A lot of the functionality in it, I did with the goal of reusing the same mechanics for a mission system. The tutorial station was made by Dalmont.
(Also sorry for typos. Since nothing is hard coded in the tutorial, it will be an easy fix for helpers)
There has also been an update for the textures. Kupu added brand new ultra crisp textures for all the terrain and flora.
There have also been some fixes for bottlenecks on servers to reduce lag in some situations.
The stations of the contest winners will probably be added in the next few days, as a few builders wanted to do some fixing on their stations first.
EDIT: Update to fix the minable pile in the tutorial. Also the textures for the overlays for minable blocks have switched around (since one looked more like ore before when it was actually crystal).
About the ratio
The weapons DID NOT get nerfed. It was a bug fix:
2/2/2 did more dps than 6/0/0. This was a bug and it got fixed. It had to be fixed, there is no reason why it should be that the same amount of blocks should do more damage in other setups, because then it would be the only thing people would use.
You don't need to add more blocks, you just need to redistribute. Power usage is also less now without the bug so there is absolutely no nerf involved other than the ability to get more dps by using effects, which shouldn't be.
You don't have to put more stuff on your ship. The damage has NOT been reduced, just the ratio needed, if you have now 50% on your machine gun, all shots will do double damage as when they were at 100% minus a very small amount from the bugfix.
the system is now:
combiPercent = slave : master+effect
effect is still = effect : master
Here are the bugfixes:
New features are in the works, too. Stay tuned :)
Thanks for playing StarMade,
