Alpha 16.1 | Post-Launch Bug Fixes | September 12, 2015

[Dan Dixon]

If you already own Universe Sandbox ², just run Steam to update to the latest version.

Or you can buy Universe Sandbox ² here:

What's new?
In Alpha 16.1 we’ve improved the quality and performance of planet and star rendering, improved lighting and shockwaves, fixed issues with saving and loading stars and gas giants, and made a few other tweaks and fixes.

This is a small update as the team gets back into gear after all of our work for the Early Access release and our PAX Prime meetup in Seattle. We are amazed by, and endlessly appreciative of, the overwhelmingly positive reaction to Universe Sandbox ². We look forward to making it even more awesome.

Complete List of Updates

Let us know what you think! And please report any problems either with the in game feedback tool or by starting a new thread...

So are the new white spots that appear on planets suppose to be snow or clouds?

the supernova cloud is now different. It moves, it is more dynamic...

Well, that is a nice update. Nothing really special in it

Supernova clouds move too quickly...if I put the timesep to even a few day/sec, it looks like a gigantic glitch...

each star is nick's face, and a shockwave spreads the words "not the bees" across the nick planet
