Quirky things you want to see fixed in the next update
« on: January 06, 2011, 10:06:06 PM »
What are some simple things you'd like to see fixed or improved in the next update?

I'm not looking for major feature requests in this thread (like atmospheres or major improvements to the save system), but small quirky things that (might be fast to fix) and would make your experience with Universe Sandbox better.

I don't know if this would be fast to fix, but I'd like to see the apparent z-fighting between the stars and their light when you look at them after focusing and zooming in on another body.

This more of a new feature than a quirky thing, but what do you mean be this? What would this feature do? What options would it have?

NO options! Options are evil! jk.

So basically, only parts of a star seem to shine when zoomed in on anothrt object.

oh there are a problem when saving the file sometimes it glitcches when it comes back to life? and when saved paused or in chart mode, it messes up the orbit.

I have no idea how you would do this, but I do think this would be a cool feature to add. I have always had trouble making new kinds of planets with different textures. An in game feature that could provide new customizable features to create new kinds of planets. You already have one customizable feature which is the color tool, but I think we could improve on that :)

Easily customizable textures is on the priority list for sure. It's going to happen soon (where soon is no more than a few months away).

It good to hear multiple people request this feature. It means that it's definitely something that needs to be implemented.
