ΔV: Rings of Saturn received an update that featured changes such as the acceleration of Kessler syndrome and expansion of labor law. In addition to that, several in-game issues have been fixed.
Kessler Syndrome Accelerating
A runaway Kessler Syndrome, which was previously triggered by an asteroid impact, is now accelerating. Scientists believe that the cascade will slow down and diminish in the future due to the proximity of the ring plane.
Labor Law Expanded
With this update, downtime during interlunar transits is considered as paid vacation as long as fully controlled by the autopilot. This is beneficial to crews as they are no longer forced to perform tasks beyond their usual duties. However, some citizens are concerned that interlunar transits could be removed from mandatory vacation quotas.
ΔV: Rings of Saturn Update 0.585.3
- Fine-tuned in-game physics options to allow better performance of the physics engine based on real-world data supplied by players.
- The physics throttling now adjusts the area of detailed simulation, not its radius, giving it much finer control over changes introduced in the game physics.
- When many in-game days pass in an instant - during interlunar transit, repairs or extended vacations on the station - your crew used to gain education experience for the first day only. Now you will get the full benefit of the entire time period. For most playstyles, this will increase the rate your crew educates itself downtime by up to 500%.
- Adjusted the physical cargo bay shape of the Pelican Prospector so the cargo baffles installed inside work as expected.
- The in-game profiler overlay available with the F11 key will display a version string for easier comparison of changes introduced in different releases.
- The Equipment menu “Simulation” and “User Manual” tabs now have icons, making them easier to spot by novice players.
- New cargo acquisition protocol ensures that ore deflected from an area that the ship considers a cargo bay will not be accounted as on-board cargo briefly.
- Adjusted the physical shape of AT-K225 to better match the displayed sprite.
- If you created a custom player-created ads directory but did not put any custom ads inside it, the game would crash when loading the Enceladus station.
