Moon Sweepers 1.0.3 Patch

Saves

• Heavily cleaned bases load again. Some big worlds looked corrupted and wouldn't load properly; the save files were fine, and they now load normally.

• Saves now protect themselves: a damaged save is repaired automatically as it loads, from its backup or a recent snapshot, and every save is checked before it replaces the previous one. You'll get a message if anything had to be repaired.

Multiplayer

• Upgrades are shared: the whole crew uses the host's upgrade matrix, and anyone's purchase upgrades everyone. Older saves keep the highest level anyone had bought.

• Host controls: in the ESC menu, Your Crew lists everyone. The host can kick or ban a player; banned players can't join that save again, and the host can unban them there.

• Splitters and mergers built by crewmates now work.

Performance

• Changed

  The game runs faster, especially on big bases: up to about 20% higher frame rates in our tests.

• Changed

  Smoother driving across the Moon, faster teleports between stations and fewer stutters while the ground loads in.

• Changed

  Ground hidden behind the Moon's horizon is no longer drawn.

Building

• Splitters and mergers snap straight onto each other, port to port.

• While carrying a capsule, you can put it onto a belt right where you aim.

• Machines can stand across several foundations, so pressure chambers, stone presses and garages fit on square foundations.

• The deposit intake now pays exactly what its screen shows. Dust and stone arriving by belt are paid as they come in.

Vehicles

• Your vehicles work at every garage: any garage can call them back, store them and upgrade them, and you won't be offered a vehicle you already own.

• Demolishing a garage no longer deletes the vehicles kept there. They move to another garage, or wait for the next garage you build.

• No more "Exited ..." message when you leave a vehicle, or message when a crewmate takes yours.

Look

• New

  New menu icons for the upgrade tree, garage, radio, robot dock and whiteboard.

• New

  New compass icons, each in its own colour: dust stations, crewmates, waypoints and the sector readout.

Important: All crewmates must be on version 1.0.3 to play together.
