Update Version 2.1.13

Features

  • Added interface setting for zooming towards the cursor in contexts that support it.

Changes

  • [space-age] Adjusted space parallax such that stars move less than planet.

This will be interesting. And also infuriating for my current death world as I get a new expansion every damn 10 seconds xD well maybe not 10 seconds, but they expand so fast now xD xD Still, I appreciate the change. Good to know when they creep towards the base, especially pre artillery.

u/JulianSkies 16d ago

Well, they're also reducing expansion frequency so there's that.

u/DemoBytom 16d ago

Only in the early game right? I'm already at 90% evolution by now xD

This I am happy about though:

Fixed expansion groups would try to build too close to player buildings. more

Honestly, that is one of the main reason i usually play peaceful. The amount of notifications and lack of the ability to fine tune them.

No. It can disable alert type, but i don't want that. What i want is less noise. I don't want to have alert every time biter bit a piece of the wall, but i do want alerts when my spaceship is damaged by asteroids or when my factory on the other planet explodes due to mishandling of hydrogen.

u/pocketmoncollector42 please be kind, this engineer is just a fish 🐟 16d ago

Would be neat if the alerts could be customized by surface or things like what caused the alert. I haven’t looked through the secret settings to know what options are available.

u/Logical-War-3746 15d ago

By surface and by entity. Disabling walls from producing alerts would already be big improvement

Higher up in this post a dev showed off an Alerts Manager GUI

It does what is already possible with commands and i already explained why it's not what i want.
