Hello Galactic Survivalists! Get ready for an exciting update with Version 1.9.10! What fantastic features and improvements can you expect? A brief list of the main feature changes and additions: Added a dedicated standalone tutorial for new players FPS optimization (Object Culling & AI Multi threading optimization) Radial damage hit indicator (player/vessel combat) Improved Animations Improved damage indication visuals (player) Device/Signal group hotkeys (Control Panel) Check out our update release video and the detailed changelog below for more details We would like to extend a huge thank you to all the contributors of bases and ships. With this update, we have added a larger batch of your submissions from the public Builders Forum (with more to come!). As always: For bug reports and errors, please post in this forum: https://empyriononline.com/forums/bugs.24/ For feedback on specific points, please share your thoughts in the pinned or new threads here: https://empyriononline.com/forums/faq-feedback.25/ The Eleon team wishes you loads of fun playing 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 Optimizations: - Adding Occlusion Culling to structure decoration blocks & NPC's in rooms the player cannot see when in a POI & optimizations to AI multi threading have been worked on. With both of the above optimizations available as of this build you should see an FPS boost in POI’s. Note: Activating godmode disables the culling so the FPS will go down to how it used to be until godmode is disabled when at a POI. Visuals & Effects: - Added new animations for Jumping, running & sprinting, falling & crouch walking with a weapon equipped (improved) - Added radial damage indicator to Vessel HUD. Now players damage will appear in red & vessel damage will appear in blue Added new screen vfx for: Radiation: Activates when Body Radiations reaches 4) Poison: Activates for both stages of Poison Bite Heat: Activates when Body Temperatures reaches 38 Frost: When body temp lowers to 9 - Improved new Load/Start menu: Left-aligned buttons and window title with title menu Exchanged Load and Start to have most used Load at top (and no mouse move needed for loading a single player game) Creativity - Added a "clear pivot point" checkbox on the BP menu window to be used before using Save As / Overwrite - Added two new config files (see content/configuration); Read the info in the head of the files carefully +BlocksGroupsConfig.ecf: Define custom Block Group String for better balancing Block Groups MaxCount. +GlobalDefsConfig.ecf: Combine properties and reference them in the ItemsConfig.ecf and BlocksConfig.ecf with a global parameter.

who did not like this addition and does not want to use can disable it? honestly you guys are destroying the game, and the immersion.
I really enjoy this patch. Specially the performance optimization. Might need more time to adjust to the new HUD damage indicators. Thank you Eleon.
Since the update I'm getting a constant "Target out of Range" notification when I am mining. If the indicator is red it won't trigger but the second the resource is mined and the indicator turns white I get a notification continuously until I move close enough for the indicator to turn red again.
Not sure what you're seeing that's bad. I've only put about an hour or so into a fresh start so far and just on the starting planet I have seen several notification messages that are much clearer in their meaning and also have better formatting in their presentation.
Hey Guys! wondering if anyone can help! ok so me and my son fired up an old co-op game, we dove right in and all was as it usually is. only now after this update v1.9.10 / 11 4131 ( the version number in the top left is v1.9.11 4131 ) it seems to have broken co-op for me.. me and another friend started a new game ( on the latest steam non beta version ) as we had not been on in a while.. started fine played fine all good until it came time to fire up the new save. keep getting the error cont , cont&mail, quit&mail game would not load and would either hang or close back to desktop depending on which option was chosen. ive not really done a lot of technical messing about with empryion ( never had to before lol ) i can replicate the issue so im going to reinstall the whole game and try to replicate it again to see how it goes but here to throw myself on the forums mercy for a bit of help or guidance Thanks!! *UPDATE* Reinstalled the game and still the same thing.. can start a new co-op game fine but cannot load that game save again in co-op or single player mode
THIS. PLEASE FIX THIS. When mining pentaxid asteroids: Ding. "Target out of Range" Ding. "Target out of Range" Ding. "Target out of Range" Ding. "Target out of Range" Ding. "Target out of Range" Ding. "Target out of Range" Ding. "Target out of Range" Ding. "Target out of Range" I'm going to murder someone. Ding. "Target out of Range" Gaaaa! <Rage Quit>
I have to wonder if they got their philosophy on this backwards? I would think that it would make more sense to show a hit marker when you are connecting with mine-able material, rather than showing a message when you are not connecting with mine-able material.
The "Hit-marker" is shown when using a handheld Drill. But it gets complete invisible if several laser Drills on a Vessel are used. Therefore they may have thought to add the warning for not touching anything in range. But I am also not a fan of this warning either
Anyway to disable the Radial damage hit indicator? It's quite annoying especially when it gets stuck and won't go away.
In the latest update this still has the alert message but with no bell. I am ok with this as I can ignore the message (and when multiples happen it all looks like one message). The bell was killing me.... Thank you!
