It seems that this game has a version of “credit screw” also.

It seems that this game has a version of “credit screw” also.

Indeed - here's one of the ways you could have your credits utterly screwed
(if you're not paying attention to what they're up to by failing to detect/decode their messages)

1.7 Update - fixes and changes - 10 June @ 3:27pm - Blago

- Lights with realtime shadows will now generate shadows only when the player is in close to the light source. This will reduce the shadow casters and improving the performance. Sun light stays the same as before.
- Volumetric fog resolution reduced - improving the performance.
- Sitting on the desk will disable most of the game objects to reduce unnecessary calculations, it will also disable all the shadows except the sun and the light over the desk.
- Displays with animated textures like Weather App, Boinc, Outdoor Camera , etc will render only when necessary. When you are outside they will be fully disabled.
- Smaller rocks around the terrain except the bigger ones will not affect the Cart speed anymore.
- In case you are close to the Cart respawn point, the respawn coordinates will change, so it won't respawn on your head anymore :)
- Cart will now detects if it is under the terrain (Just in case something breaks) and will automatically respawn to the respawn point.

Update 1.7 - 7 June

- AutoCalibration - a system that can be activated from the terminal. It will disable antenna rotation while calibrating the antennas. It will be slower than manual calibration, but you can manually calibrate the antennas to speed up the process.
- Changes to the antenna position to look like the Very Large Array, in Socorro, NM, USA . Also the number of the antennas is increased.
- Antenna activation/deactivation changes. Instead of using separate switches to deactivate the antennas, will be added a rotational button to change between power usage and antenna detection.
- Command Line Memory - Arrow Up/Down switch between written commands
- Aurora Borealis Generation - not every night, but there is a big chance to be visible.
- The BOINC Project
- New signal and Ambient sounds - Credits to Tokyo
- A Community paragraph in Credits Page to credit everyone helping improving the game. ( Community Help )
- Terrain Size increased
- Optimize animated textures like antennas, planets, etc. - Right now they are always active reducing the current framerate with around 10%. Not much, but it is something.
- Power Surge - In power surge there is a 5% chance of antenna to shutdown. Every antenna has a control panel where you can reactivate it.
- When an antenna is deactivate it will block to movement to every other antenna.
- Using Second Mouse Button, you can now push the vehicle. Just in case it stuck somewhere.
- Added additional physics restriction to the vehicle. Now should be more stable.
- Add Ultra Option For Foliage Details, increasing the density of the grass.
- Volumetric Fog - Check the Graphics option
- Improved Sun Lights and Sun Shafts
- New terminal Commands :
- CalStart / CalibrationStart - Start Auto Calibration
- CalStop / CalibrationStop - Stop AutoCalibration
- BOINCSTART / BOINCSTOP - Start/Stop Boinc Project

- Server freeze chance decreased wtih 100%
- Analyzing an anomaly will show a pixelated planet that will refine it time.
- Exiting the scanner will reset all the current data except it a signal is detected.
- New Upgrade - Boinc Speed
- New Upgrade - Boinc Module Chance
- New Upgrade - Calibration Speed

The BOINC Project:

- The System will activate a computing jobs that will try to unlock modules for you.
You can check the progress to the Signal Main Monitor. When signal is detected the monitor will switch to normal.
- When the project is active will increase server heat generation and energy consumption.

FIXES:

- Rest System Camera position / Rotation
- Rest System timescale
- Terrain Sound Detection
- Terrain Reflection when cloudy
- Radio Button Volume Rotation
- Weather detection wrong icons
- Skyscanner sky/target offset
- Skyscanner audio is trying to play even when the scanner is closed.
- Kitchen Chair colliders

- Implemented Online Radio, for now i have added 37 radio stations. The old one NASA archives is still in the game. You can change the stations through the laptop. I have added an radio UI to choose a station. In case you need to add you can always ask for a specific station to add.
- Resolution menu shows refresh rate.

FIXED: Type errors, Objects LOD using higher FOV, Coffee cup invisible in some cases.

Note that the poster of this message doesn<t work for the developper, or for Steam or Valve. He just happens to think this is a great simulation game made by a dedicated and passionate developper, for whoever would like to experiment in a fun way the operational challenges of a virtual array of radio dishes. If you<re a SETI@home partcipant & Signal Simulator player, it would be interesting to know what features you prefer, or which ones should be added or improved in future updates.

Small Updates/Patches Mon, September 2, 2019 6:24 am EDT

FIXES

- Database selected signal is white causing unreadable text-
- Radar signal position icon missing texture
- Rover detects object even if the object is not visible
- Terminal misspell
- Missing icon on laptop UI
- Mother Ship animation activation on start of a game
- Database exit icon missing at 16:10 monitors. Part of the UI was cropped

ADD

- At September 20th the is an event to storm Area 51, so i have added something to pass some time where aliens will storm your base. Separate from the main game you can access it from the main menu.
- Alarm when rover detects objects, won't be necessary to watch it all the time.
- Add small meteors and minerals on the ground. There can be only one spawned at the time. Spawned meteors can be scanned with the rover for data that will give you 150 credits. Once scanned the meteor will generate again to a new place on the map
- Add music slider in Audio Setting. Will affect the radio, and the music in the Storm the Area mode.

IMPROVEMENTS

- Radio text will update only when the radio UI is opened, reducing unnecessary calculations
- Door Lock will not update every frame, but only when it is activated.

Update 1.7.5

Fixes:

- Fix Crash caused by Power Surge generation.
- Fix Aurora Profile Shader Update error
- Fix when buying a skin doesn't cost you credits.
- Fix an error when in Storm The Area mode the code is still trying to access the tips
- Indoor Ambient Light too bright at daytime
- Fix when Tips disabled to appear randomly
- Fixed Moon blinking glitch.
- Fix Crash when trying to access the Sun Light Intensity
- Fix Crash caused by Space Shooter updating the enemies count.

Improvements:

- Foliage details improved
- Foliage will be rendered only when visible, before was based on patches and was rendered even if there is a wall in front of the camera.
- Rover sound while doing some action like moving, analyze etc.
- Ambient light will change when player is indoor or outdoor. This way when outdoor the sun shadows won't be so dark, but when you are inside the ambient light will be less intense, so you will not get too bright walls when you turn off the lights.

----------------------------------------------------------
October 1, 2019 9:05 am EDT
Update 1.7.4

FIXES:

- Transition between day and night. The sky will no longer be black without stars. The stars will slowly appear as expected

- Wind System. Based on the weather, rain, thunder, clouds etc. the game will generate a wind that will affect the antennas position. This may change the antenna coordinates causing problems detecting a signal in bad weather.
- Add a Pop Up to ask if you want to go to the main menu
- Added a close button for the panel for the new radio. Before you had to add a radio to be able to close it.
- New skin page in the laptop. From there you can unlock and install all the skins you like.
- In Gameplay Options added a Local Time option. This will switch between local and Ingame Time.

IMPROVEMENTS AND CHANGES

- Sun rotation is changed. When you sit on the desk the direction you watch is South, so the Sunrise should be from left to right, not as before.
