Array 0.1.6


0.1.5 was received really well! I am very happy to see that everyone liked the direction the logistics system is heading so early into development which means we have a lot of time to build on top of it! 

Power System Overhaul

Continuing with the theme of last update for 0.1.6 I wanted to pick one system to put my main focus towards while also delivering QoL changes across the change where I could. The power system received an entire overhaul and is now more reminiscent of the power systems in Factorio or Satisfactory with my own twist that I feel fits Array well and of course always open for suggestions!  

Power now needs to be sustained, and stations or colonies that run low on power will start to lose systems that require them one by one until the power level can sustain itself.

The Power Config Menu

Now players have a single menu where they can control the entire power infrastructure of their stations or colonies! It is moveable so players can place it wherever they would like on the screen if they chose to leave it open. 

Refined Power Section in UI Panel


The power section of the UI panel has been refined to include more useful visual information for the player. 

Other Changes

  • The build-menu is now click and draggable using right-click as well as zoomable using scroll-wheel. This has been on the list for a long time as it has been requested by a few different people, so I wanted to prioritize it for this update. 
  • Added 1x, 5x, 10x per-click option in the drone config and for the logistics panel (shoutout Hash!)
  • Added option to allow players to manipulate the game speed. 
  • Added logistics rate multiplier selection and click-and-hold functionality in the UI for adjusting resource transfer rates more efficiently.
  • Lowered the frequency of module checks further (this had previously given us massive FPS gains overall) we should see improved FPS even more now. 
  • Improved teleporter logic. 


I am very open to feedback and suggestions for the power system! Let me know what you think over on our Discord!
