PTU Update 4.3.2022 (PTU Build 812)

[AuraFB]

Devices

• Reconstruction Machine
  • Fixed an issue where the Reconstruction Machine activated at the station only after the player had relogged after the first time it was built
  • Machines now unlink players when they lose Factory Hall Area/Station safezone access
• Fixed an issue where Solar Power recharge did not start/work when built with items from inventory in-game
• Ducts
  • Fixed side edge connectivity issue for three ducts. Edges of these ducts did not connect with hardpoints:
    • Duct Straight 12x192 cm
    • Duct Straight 12x36 cm
    • Duct Corner 15x15 cm

Easy Build Mode

• Building long lines with modules should no longer create considerable gaps. Miniscule gaps might still be noticed in extreme cases.

Player Stations

• Fixed an issue where being close enough to another station made setting up new stations sluggish or impossible in nearby cells
• Updated Station Info HUD

Ships

• Updated:
  • 30 Allons Danser
• Added descriptions for:
  • Mammoth II W
  • Phat Roadster
  • Atolla
  • Ramora
  • Batfish
  • Komatsu T2
  • SkipJack
  • Vector7a
• Updated description of:
  • Manta DC

Ship Repair Terminal

• Fixed an issue where components that were damaged but later repaired using the Building Tool sometimes counted as being damaged by the Ship Repair Terminal

UI

• Added "don't show this again" option to Station expansion notification
• Added "reset pop-up hints" option to Esc menu settings tutorial section
• Tooltips now follow cursor when mouse is moved instead of closing
• Tooltip opening delay can be adjusted in settings
• Removed permission edit page from Stations Tab
• Permissions are now changed by clicking Permission icons
• Fixed broken station names in Insurance Transfer Menu

PTU Only

• Fixed an issue where locking a ship with Towing Beam and releasing it did not remove the added mass or the thruster efficiency reduction
• Player Stations can now be renamed
• Towing Device
  • Now reports target mass in kg, not g
• Made the deformation prevention area under Moon Base Support Legs slightly smaller
• Added area validity for all station types. For an area to be valid, it must have at least 5 million KV of material in it. Expansion prevention if all current areas are not valid will continue to only affect Capital Ships.

Same for me. I did try to make one work but could not make it latch to anything.

 

[Kenetor]

Towing Device

• Now reports target mass in kg, not g

It was a fun bug, though. Less math for us, but it was great while it lasted

 

[Thk]

Same for me. I did try to make one work but could not make it latch to anything.

Last I checked it doesn't work in safe zone. If you were trying outside safe zone, I have no idea.

 

[Gknees]

And this thing doesnt fixes any of the bugs that make ptu unplayable
and weights 17 GB BEATIFUL

 

[fr4me01]

yikes kinda bleak looking.

What about a roadmap?

The 3 month gap between patches for LIVE was bearable because you guys were doing a bunch of stuff on the PTU the whole time..

PTU patches like this make the live server look really depressing and Lauris 1 year quote extremely intangible.

 

[ATR0P0S]

We need battery recharging fix

 

[PandaPants200]

Towing devices seem cool. Will they always be limited to towing one ship or will we be able to make carriers?

 

[SubaruSama]

noticed a big patch, went to check for notes, kind of expected a bit more...
don't get me wrong, not saying I don't like the fixes, but kind of got my hopes up for something else
but we all know the drill: SOON^^

No mouse control fix too....

I was inside safe zone. I would have expected the device to work in safe zone. Where do the devs think we will tow ships to if we can't bring them back to a station? If they don't want people to tow unwilling ships they can always add a new parameters to the transponder where we could allow or not tow beams to work on it.
