So, Dr Xian requires a place with an atmosphere to spawn. if the atmosphere is not breathable or some similar issu she'ssupposed to throw up a pressure tent, that is all great... if you are on any regular planet. On an Aerial platform in the upper atmosphere of a gas giant, not so much.
I managed to trigger the story there... accidently. My gas giant colony was missing a university, so I went there and built one. it being the tiny capitol, it would be easier to go build it on the building site rather than the capitol.

She keeps spamming that she was suffocating and that a pressure tent will protect us, but never spawns one (possibly does on the surface of the gas giant core, which I am not going down to check)

So I decided to not care  as she didn't seem to either(about the knife) but it turns out she did care... She's likely trying to path to me across 2 sectors in her spacesuit, a feat anyone, who can withstand 2 shots of minimum 255 fire damage each should be able to perform.
This resulted  the physics in my game slowing down to about 1 update per second (effects were smooth chnge of position due to movement was VERY choppy). Guess I need her to actually finish what she started.
This is proving to be rather difficult, as the fact that she is suffocating (and has been for the past 30 minutes(another incredible feat) overrides the fact that she needs to get on with ther "shtuck" about the knife get the pirate to spawn and drop the ring.)

Dangerous Exchange
The Dangerous Exchange story chapter will not start.

Fixed a bug that was recently added when changing that script to require a world with a breathable atmosphere.

Control Station Crash
A crash was reported while operating a weapon control station.

Found and fixed some code that was using an object without locking its associated mutex.

This bug was also present in the sensor and transporter control stations. It is fixed there too.

Space Station Explodes
Space station explodes if you approach it.

Fixed. This has happened to me so many times and I was finally in a position to trace the problem and fix it.

Indigenous Village
Indigenous village never moves out of town. I thought it was supposed to dislike cities.

Indigenous village should now move away once a city is built there.

Kalashnikov
The Kalashnikov rifle is now spelled using English text.

Load DNA
The Load DNA button was restored to the avatar creation page. It is only present when creating an avatar with alien DNA, i.e. the old style DNA.

Uncharted System
After capturing the ship in the Stowaway scenario, the nav control station shows Uncharted System. I can't see the planets on the screen.

Fixed. This was probably a problem everywhere, not just this situation.

System Scan
After performing a system scan, my current solar system still shows no details on the solar system map.

Fixed.

Architect Achievements
There was a slight change to the architect achievements. They are now.

• Published Spacecraft Architect - For publishing a spacecraft blueprint to the Steam Workshop.
  
• Published Building Architect - For publishing a building blueprint to the Steam Workshop.
  
• Spacecraft Architect - For publishing a spacecraft blueprint to the exchange.
  
• Building Architect - For publishing a building blueprint to the exchange.
  

Blueprints, that have been unpublished from the steam workshop can not be removed from the in-game exchange,
Related: blueprints published by Avatars before the cahnge to steam ID also can not be removed from the exchange.

in exchange look for 

LowPoly AE 100f Farm by ♠Vooker525 (2 entries 1 of which is unpublished due to having an unused generator part)
LowPoly 100f Farm by ♠Vooker525 (2 entries 1 of which is unpublished due to having an unused generator part)
Logging Camp 35 by Yuno Gasai (1 unpublished entry)

My suggestion is to drastically lower the build times for ships, stations and super large buildings, and broker timers. 

Currently i have stations that take 20 hours to build which make since in a multiplayer setting were the craft can build when the player is not online. For a solo game i feel like stuff should build when the game is closed.
Also the same issue with Brokers they have huge timers that only go down while the game is running. 
Also very big buildings like big domes and large radars and such have huge build times that only progress when a player is online.

Just my 2 cents :)

Crashes
The previous update was crashing due to two bugs. They have been fixed.

Stowaway Scenario
This update adds another startup scenario called "Stowaway". In this scenario you start as a stowaway somewhere aboard a pirate ship. There are several interesting ways to play out this scenario.

This highlights a bug that has already been reported. The crew is pretty bad at defending their ship. I'll work on that.

Here are some ideas. I wrote everything that crossed my mind to give ideas to Haxus. Feel free to add your own ideas, the more the better.

Localization
A little over a week ago Ripticus asked about localization (translation) to French. I've done the work over the years to prepare the software for localization so I started looking into what it would take to go to the next level. At that point I got swept away by the current for a solid week.

I use the Qt system of objects to develop all Hazeron C++ code, which is most everything. Qt has a way of tagging strings to be translated, like this tr("Translate this string"). For years (decades) I have been putting these tr tags in my code, knowing some day they would be needed. It would be a daunting task to go in after the fact and put them in, on a project as large as this.

The tools for extracting and processing the strings to be translated are very nice. They also revealed a few things that needed attention, if only due to my learning more about how the tr tags are used.

A tremendous number of strings were touched throughout the code. Please alert me if you see anything broken about the words you see, anywhere and everywhere. Many of these changes involved separating ugly chunks of html code from the text that needed translating. That means html errors could also be introduced in things like mail and reports.

Here are some minor changes you might notice in the user interface. 

• System - The word "system" is used to mean a system of a spacecraft or a solar system. Almost every case of the use of the word system was changed to be either "subsystem" or "solar system" as appropriate.
  
• Station - The word "station" is used to mean a control station or a space station. Almost every case of the use of the word station was changed to be either "control station" or "space station".
  
• Fire Control - The term "fire control station" has always bugged me. This was changed to "Weapon Station" pretty much everywhere. It is listed as "Bay Weapon" in the skills list.
  

• Astronaut - For orbiting a world for the first time.
  
• Interstellar Astronaut - For orbiting a world in a solar system other than your home world solar system.
  
• Intergalactic Astronaut - For orbiting a world in a galaxy other than the one containing your home solar system.
  
• Colonizer - For building a city on a world other than your home world.
  
• Journeyman Colonizer - For building cities on ten worlds other than your home world.
  
• Master Colonizer - For building cities on one hundred worlds other than your home world.
  
• Starship Architect - For designing a starship and publishing it to the Steam Workshop.
  
• Building Architect - For designing a building and publishing it to the Steam Workshop.
  

I think most of you know this. When you move too close to walls, lay on ground, work in designer with tiny parts there is some bubble around camera that removes textures, allowing to see through objects. This is done so you won't see character's head from inside but annoying most of the time. In blender this is called viewport clipping.
Solution - render 2 separate character models. For first person render headless and neckless model of character. This option is already partially present in game options, but only headless part.
For third person and mini-me use full body model.
This will eliminate the need in carving bubble, allowing to work in designer with small parts and use of extra small spacecrafts with tight interior. When you look down, you will see center of shoulders or chest, like in most games that render body in first person. As i understand camera already follows eyes.
Also this will require a little tweak to thirdperson view using [ and ] keys. Minimal range away from player should be added. Or just leave as is

When entering and then exiting the design studio in-game, all production processes are halted. They freeze at 00:00 and never complete:


A game restart fixes this, but it happens consistently if entering a studio again

When you click the focus button on the scanner console without having anything selected, the game freezes for about a minute and crashes
