TBU News and Updates
News and Updates related to TBU and TBU Servers
Space Engineers [1.082] – XBox Controller, Source Opened, and some ETAs
8 years ago
All in all another small update as far as new features are concerned, but not a small week for news updates. This week gives us XBox controller support, only one default layout, but its a start. They have also added mod support for the new upgrade modules and added a new mission.
As far as news, this has been a active week. Yesterday Keen hosted a IAmA on Reddit to answer some questions. In these we were able to get some more info and some ETAs.
So far some notable bits are.
- Structural Integrity will be coming to SE, sometime after planets. Possible reentry dynamics as well.
- DX11 should be within the next couple of weeks.
- Planets will be a few weeks to a couple of months.
- New Multiplayer code will be in a few months.
- Medieval Engineers Devs will be focusing on survival aspects that will make it into SE.
- More survival elements after current large projects are done.
- Possibility of food or something. They said they were going to work more on body related stuff after planets and MP.
Needless to say these ETAs are subject to change, but some good info all around.
The other big news is that Keen has opened the source for SE. They have not made it Open Source, they have just made the source available. This is a experiment that they are trying to help boost the modding community. Will be interesting to see how this pans out.

Space Engineers [1.081] – Upgrade Modules and Antenna Visibility
8 years ago
This week brings a much needed feature to allow players to change the visibility ranges of Antennas. In this update we also get upgrade modules to affect refineries and such.
I have changed the speed settings on the server down to 1x (from 3x) but they may get bumped up some again depending on how feel about the modules.
This week we are still seeing funny animation bugs with the new models. Tool usage seems to be better, but movement still looks funny.
Patch Notes:
Features
– Upgrade modules for refinery and assembler (productivity, effectiveness and power efficiency)
– Antenna visibility adjustment on HUD
Fixes
– fixed character camera placed into spectator when reconnecting to cryo chamber
– fixed issue when the player cannot build from 3rd person view
– fixed MwmBuilder – ‘illegal use’ when running the tool without any parameter
– fixed issue with pushing massive ships without effort (aka “Superman Bug”)
– fixed O2 drops when you sit in cockpit or in cryo chamber without helmet
– fixed crash after bumping into asteroid
– improved animation while strafing
Update 01.080.011
– fixed productivity module sets productivity to -100%
– added additional checks to upgrade modules for invalid values
– fixed ragdoll crash when enabled jetpack with custom character
Space Engineers [1.079][1.080] – Two in one
8 years ago
This week we have two updates in one. Unfortunately I was rather busy last week and did not get around to posting the update to the server.
The two major aspects of these updates are a Cryo chamber that lets you save your inventory and tool bar, and a Oxygen farm that can produce a limited amount of oxygen using sunlight and power. The farm is only able to make enough oxygen for one player and is unable to pressurize a room.
With these smaller updates its obvious a large one in on the horizon. There is much speculation that it could be one of the three big ones, planets, multiplayer, or AI.

Features

– fixed lost ownership of platform after reload (scenario)
– fixed character receiving damage when sitting in the cockpit without helmet
– fixed oxygen tank not updating oxygen amount for client
– fixed emissivity of oxygen tank not updating for client
Update 01.079.008

Update 01.080 – Cryo chamber, New character model and animations

Umbrella Bureau, the official TBU GTAO Crew.
The crew is set to invite only, and everyone in TBU will get a automatic pass into the crew. Once in I will promote you to the rank to allow recruiting. This basically means that anyone in TBU will be able to invite others into the Umbrella Bureau.
In case its needed, I have already created a forum section for GTAO and the Umbrella Bureau.
Anyone can request a invite from the site or from in game.
