Update 27<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Snow simulation improvements, more detailed temperature maps, better performance, new cloud visuals, and more are rolled up into Update 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The featured image shows what would happen if the Earth was tidally locked, where one side of the planet always faces the Sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Superior Snow Simulation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re now keeping track of snow so that it falls and melts more realistically. Previously it disappeared immediately if the water vapor got too low. There\u2019s also more accurate snow and ice formations on newly-created random rocky planets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking the (Surface) Temperature<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Temperature maps have gotten a facelift with the addition of temperature calculations adjusted by elevation. Previously temperature maps were only shown at sea level, even if the elevation data was above sea level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Downscaling to Benefit Non-gaming Hardware<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Render Scale has been added as a new graphics setting. This allows you to run the simulation at a lower resolution while keeping the interface looking crisp. The automatic settings have also been updated for improved performance on lower-end hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
