Version 1.7.0
The Auto Planner feeds new chains from machines a model already has, identical buildings merge into one node, new extractors start at a default node purity, and large models stay smooth.
NEW FEATURES
Section titled “NEW FEATURES”- Auto Planner builds on your model. Planning again in a model that already
makes a part feeds the new chain from those machines instead of building a
second chain. They grow to cover it. Switch it off with Use existing
production on the Rules & review step.
- Locked machines, machine count limits, fixed extractor counts and outputs with a limit stay as they are. The target you plan always gets its own node.
- Messages counts the existing nodes a plan used.
- Merge identical buildings. Right-click a node, or a selection, to fold
identical machines and extractors into one node that keeps every connection.
The solver sizes it to the total.
- Machine count limits, extractor counts and port limits add up.
- A group stays apart when only some of it has a limit, port limits bind differently, a connection leaving it has a share, or a lock is involved. The notice counts those groups.
- One Undo splits them again.
- Default node purity. New Resource nodes card under Machine
defaults in Settings. New extractors start at the purity you pick, such as
Pure on a save of pure nodes.
- Palette, Auto Planner and Modular Miners use it. Placed extractors, pastes, blueprints and imports keep theirs.
QUALITY OF LIFE
Section titled “QUALITY OF LIFE”- Large models stay smooth. Panning, zooming, selecting and solving no
longer redraw every card and connection, so a model with hundreds of nodes
no longer drops to a few frames per second.
- Above 120 cards, the connections of a selection stop flowing, built connections lose their glow, and overclock lightning and Somersloop stripes are left out. Colours still show each state.
- Below 35% zoom such a canvas shows card outlines and hides connection labels. Larger text when zoomed out still shows names and figures.
- Closed dropdowns no longer follow every pan, and image previews and card bodies are only built when they open.
BUGFIXES
Section titled “BUGFIXES”- Right-click in a box selection. A right-click on a card of a Shift box selection, or between its cards, opens the card menu instead of Add a node. A double click on such a card edits it.
