Weapon Station Crash
Weapon station still crashes if you sit there long enough.
Fixed a bug in the weapon station. This same bug was also fixed in the sensor and transporter stations.
Tractor Beam Bug
The weapon station crash report involved towing a station using a tractor beam. While doing so I ran into an obnoxious bug that would inexplicably leave the station behind; then it would still be tractoring when I found the station but the station would be motionless.
This one took some digging to find. It is fixed.
Hot Gas Giants
Several people pointed out that a gas giant in the inferno zone should not have frigid zone properties.
I agreed so gas giants in the inferno zone no longer produce Cryozine or Frigid Atmosphere resources. Instead they produce Ioplasma and Inferno Atmosphere resources.
Translate Bitmap Buttons
A few buttons during game startup present a graphic image with text embedded in the image.
Bad programmer! Bad programmer! Never never embed language into bitmaps.
I created a new button widget that overlays text onto its underlying bitmap. That way the text can be translated independently of the bitmap.
This had an odd side effect that the text style configured on the button affects the tool tip as well. The tip appears in big bright cyan text now. :/
Nuclear Power Plant
When building a nuclear power plant the default process should not be Plutonium.
Fixed. Default process is to make electricity..
Commander Wants to Know Speed
When commanding my ship I often find myself wanting to know how fast we're going.
When seated at a command chair, in command mode, the ship's speed in m/sec is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Sex Nerf
The updated adult content survey on Steam requires me to affirm that there is no prohibited functionality in my software even if it is not accessible.
I put ifdefs around all code that had anything to do with mating. Now when the software is built that code is not built into the final executable file at all.
