• Consolidation: Ideally, each SE focuses on only one area of effect.

The Jumpgate addition is directed to creators and scenario builders to allow players to jump with their vessels to defined destinations without having to rely on build-in warp drives.

The Jumpgates cannot be built by players in survival, but used.

When using the provided Jumpgate Prefab Model,creators can not only use the newly added dialogue and trigger mechanics to create a network of Jumpgates, but also can decide which destinations are available from...

Among other things, the update focuses on general spawning issues with POIs for various factions in certain areas (due to incorrect configuration, empty POI BP groups, etc.). However, it also addresses general improvements in this regard, including number, density, placement, optimization of surrounding activities (e.g., dronebases, drones, defense, etc.), and much more.
