Opened a discord channel for modders to communicate what they need to make their projects easier/possible.

From the 8th of August till today, we were distributing unobfuscated builds to modders that requested it (this is no longer needed).

(Apart from the new planets scheduled for release in the universe update.)

As of dev build v0.202.0, StarMade is unobfuscated.

In an effort to make modding more accessible, we've decided to take a few steps that don't take us a lot of time to implement, but have a massive impact. Overall this will make building, in‌ ‌general, lot simpler. This will enable ships to customize their shields a lot better.Īlso, the build GUI will be cleaned up and simplified to reflect the config (a lot lighter since distance/bonus etc can be removed). In the next dev build, we will be fixing issues with beams and possibly changing shield mechanics to a customizable shield system (using rectangular dimensions instead of spheres.

This build has been (mostly) unobfuscated, to reduce the barrier for our community to mod StarMade.

Implemented QuickFire balancing project configs as default.

We've released a dev build that introduces two things: Unless it’s absolutely necessary, changes after this will only affect smaller aspects. This will also likely be the last major change to balance for ships. Thanks to all the quifire members who developed and tested these changes. Adjusted some chamber abilities, such as scanning and Thrust Burst.Ī more detailed document is available here: Adjusted bomb to hopefully be more usable (see document below) Worked with Schine to fix missile guidance Replaced the broken Doom Beam with a high-range pulse laser Helped to track down and resolve the infamous 'tunnelling' bug with cannon projectiles Buffed Anti High Damage chamber, lowered threshold for 'High Damage' to better protect against large hits. Nerfed/adjusted Anti Low Damage chamber to only block actual low damage relative to shield capacity Buffed shields relative to weapons overall (should make thick or slanted armor more viable) Made armor layering/stacking significantly more effective. Made diminishing returns on thrust harsher. There should be more variance in ship maneuverability and top speeds now depending on ship size and design. Changed chamber size formula, to not force certain reactor sizes for optimal mass efficiency Rebalanced chamber capacity requirements across the board (see document below) Set maximum power from stabilization to 100%. The following is a short overview of the most important changes, with a more comprehensive document of all changes available via a link below. The Quickfire config changes cover a broad spectrum of StarMade's systems, which have been determined to be broken or imbalanced in the vanilla game. The Quickfire team is available for any support, question, suggestion for changes, or barrage of rotten tomatoes on their thread here, or in their discord server As such, you should expect that most ships will require refits to function. Most systems are balanced very differently than they were previously, including power consumption, mass, potency per block, and even some aspects of mechanics. This is a complete overhaul of the game's configs. The config set was created by Quickfire's core team of configurators, with input from other members of the community, including PvP enthusiasts, creative builders, and others. The Quickfire Initiative configs are very different from the old defaults.

To make modding and general extensions of the game easier the game's code is now unobfuscated. It introduces balance changes that the Quickfire initiative developed and tested.

Starmade fleet update#

For this reason, this will probably be the last update on the non-universe-update version of StarMade. The universe update is well underway and the code bases are now so different that any change on the old version takes a lot of time because of migrating. Update 0.202.87: Fixed missile speed for AI tracking
