Previous patch notes for v1.9.10 https://empyriononline.com/threads/v1-9-10-experimental-i.101266/

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Welcome to Experimental Version 1.9.10! What does it have in store for you? Let’s do a quick summary.

We have added two new methods for FPS optimization (AI and Occlusion Culling) and there is also a long-desired convenience update in the form of the control panel hotkeys. Furthermore, and for the first time, we added a directional visual hit display in the player's field of view! Various VFX have also been finalized for status effects, e.g. radiation, temperatures and poisoning. For all creatives, there are new options for block management, as well as in the PDA. For all builders, there is now an option to automatically correct the pivot point.

Please have a look at the changelog below for more detailed information.

Last but not least, we would like to thank all contributors of bases and ships - a larger batch of your submissions from the public Builders Forum has been added again with this update (to be continued!).

The Eleon team wishes you a lot of fun testing the new version!

Changes:
Convenience
- Added hotkeys for control panel signals & device groups:
Device Groups are toggled with CTRL + SHIFT + 1 to 8
Signals Column are toggled with CTRL + ALT + 1 to 8

Optimization
- Performance optimizations for AI have been added as well as the implementation of Occlusion culling (only culling deco & NPC's in rooms the player cannot see in POI's) which you should see result in FPS boosts in large POI's such as "Deep space radar complex".
Note: Activating godmode disables the culling so the FPS will go down to how it used to be until godmode is disabled.

Visuals & Effects
- Added radial damage indicator to Player HUD
- WIP: Added new animations for Jumping, running & sprinting, falling & crouch walking with a weapon equipped (improved)
- Added new screen vfx for:
- Improved new Load/Start menu:
