Stationeers recently received an update that added new fire mechanics, a highly-requested feature, and bug fixes.
Fire Mechanics
Fire is one of the oldest and most important mechanics in the game since it revolves around space building. In this update, the developers changed the rate at which fire burns, and the conditions for it to burn. The fire between volatiles and oxygen is slowed down significantly, which should make the atmospheric fire spread more likely instead of exploding instantly.
If you are a pyromaniac, don’t worry. The developers have added N2O as a new oxidizer to make volatiles burn faster and hotter, and at a lower autoignition temperature. This can be used to reheat Furnaces with large quantities of gas.
Placement on Both Sides of Walls
The developers added in a highly-requested feature this time. That’s right! You can finally place wall devices on both the front and back of walls. To achieve it, you must place the device based on your position. Devices are facing toward you by default, and to have them placed on the other side of a wall, you must face that side too.
