Spacecraft Factory Bug
A newly built spacecraft factory can build any ship in 3 seconds. This bug was reported by several people in various forms.

The problem affected all manufacturing, not just spacecraft factories. When a building fetches materials from its own stores, labor is added to the process, which increases the time. When a building fetched materials from other connected buildings, it was not adding labor to the process. This is fixed.

In the process of fixing this bug, I found that my spacecraft factory did not automatically manufacture spacecraft at all. Workers were not fetching materials or running processes at the spacecraft factory. This is fixed.

Targoss and Гага́рин Never Despawn
Targoss and Гага́рин will stick around after their story ends.

A vital cleanup function was missed, if the story instance was dropped shortly after it started, before ever being saved to the database. It is fixed.

Targoss is Indestructible
Targoss' story ends, leaving an indestructible Targoss in the area.

Story characters now lose their invincibility setting, if any, when their story instance terminates. There you go; you can now kill Targoss again.

Targoss Appears in Space
Targoss appears in space, aboard spacecraft, and other useless places.

Targoss tutorial now requires that you be inside the atmosphere of a world and not aboard a spacecraft.

Shields Not Charging
It was reported that shields do not charge while in the down state. They are supposed to charge at a much faster rate when down.

I need to see an example of this because I cannot reproduce the problem. Shields seem to charge properly in my tests. There could be a numeric precision error on ships with very large shield capacity; again, an example is needed.

Rating Bug
Ratings do not update. After rating a blueprint in the exchange, my rating does not show up. It does appear on the web site after a few minutes.

Fixed a silly bug created while tidying up, just prior to building the previous update.

Libraries Nerfed
After upgrading operating systems on my development computer and debug servers, the gdb debugger started having trouble setting break points in my own libraries. This caused the search for the spacecraft factory bug on the running servers to become tedious and time consuming. I could not continue that way, hoping for an update to gdb that might fix it.

The solution was to statically link my libraries, instead of dynamically linking them into DLLs. Now there are less individual files downloaded by the launcher. The executable files grew a bit larger, for SoH and SoH Mail. The net result is smaller than using DLLs.

You do not have to do anything at your end. The old libraries can safely remain in the Shores of Hazeron/Programs folder. Nothing will use them. The launcher will not remove them. Here is the list of obsolete libraries, in case you want to manually remove them.

As title says, the barriers/room void's are too 'sticky' for the player when passing them even at shallow angles. Here's an illustration demonstrating the difference between how collision friction is handled in TESV: Skyrim vs how it is in Hazeron. A smoother transition between collision and travel is appropriate in my estimation.

Hazeron: 

So my avatar named Cryozine has home set inside the capitol building room (it's the studio dome with interior) in a gass giant planet.
Fact is his EV suit broke, I clicked the "Recall Home" button, he got teleported outside the building then died, respawned outside the building so died again and he's now stuck in a death loop!

I don't even have enough time to click the UI, teleport him, nothing. He just spawns outside so he dies, game would lag during respawn and once I get control he dies again.

Before this, whenever I logged in with Cryozine or switched to him from another avatar the game correctly spawned me inside the building

I have 2 avatars:  1st one is in a gass giant, inside a capitol building (it's the studio dome which has interior).
2nd one is in his home planet, outside buildings and vehicles, just flying in air

With the 1st I invited the 2nd to teleport there, then i switched to the 2nd, accepted, crashed.

After logging in again with the 2nd, I spawned where the 1st was.

I did it a second time, it crashed again.

edit. seems to happen every single time I teleport inside a building having a room

When I get to the point, in the launcher, where I enter my credentials to log in, I get a string of windows popping up, telling me that various shaders failed to link. Fresh install of the game on Windows 10, 64bit.

Game is unplayable as, without these shaders, everything is just pure white.

Tested on Windows 10

How to reproduce: rename attachment extension to .SoH (this forum didn't accept .SoH so i renamed it to .txt for the upload) -> load challenger (1).SoH -> click preview mode -> Empty Space -> crash
How to fix: rename "Room Void" to "Bridge Entrance"

I don't think the designer should crash just for such a simple mistake.

When starting out the game, there are a huge amount of building designs to choose from, most of them being too large and complicated for a stone age town. As someone who is new to this new system, how do I know which design to use for each building? Can I just use a default design? This aspect of the game seems so overcomplicated that it is sort of ruining my experience. I shouldn't have to scroll through every single design to try to find a simple building that I am actually able to use.

Blueprint Ratings
A rating system is needed for blueprints in the spacecraft and building exchanges.

Blueprint rating system is now in place.

• Rate Blueprint button added to blueprint exchange windows.
  • When rating a blueprint, a review can also be entered.
    
  • An avatar can rate each blueprint only once. Subsequent ratings by the same avatar will replace their previous rating/review, for that blueprint.
    
• Ratings are associated with the id of the blueprint.
  • A blueprint that is finalized again later, perhaps after changes, receives a new id with no ratings.
    
  • The old ratings do not transfer to the new id.
    
  • A blueprint that is unpublished then republished does not lose its ratings.
    
• View Blueprint Ratings button added to blueprint exchange windows.
  
• Construction blueprint filter by rating.
  • Filter can now consider rating of blueprints in the exchange.
    
  • Minimum rating can be specified.
    
  • Rating filter only applies to blueprints in the exchange, not to blueprints in your gear.
    
• Ratings appear on the blueprint pages on the web.
  • Blueprint list shows average rating of all reviews.
    
  • Blueprint detail page shows all reviews.
    

They are cool but they do not seem to appear on radar, hard to look for due to dense liquid and they instantly die as soon as they spawn. I spent some hours trying to find them and i only got this screenshot :/

I noticed that shield bulb acts like hull door. If you move too fast, door will not have enough time to open and you will hit it.

-Colliding with shield deals massive amount of damage, depending on size of spacecraft, probably destroying both spacecrafts.
-Crew does not consider shield collision when moving near other spacecrafts and probably when moving through military shield.
