Pre-Alpha 3.1.0: Bug fixes, different start locations in Survival and more news

Hi everyone,

Today, we have released a new version (Pre-Alpha 3.1.0) with the following changes:

Changelog 3.1.0:

Features:
- Changed New Game Survival: Now you can choose between Akua and Omicron as Starting Location
- Added manual save button to in-game menu. This can fix the problem that sometimes players lost their builds after a crash
- Added first version of German localization (not all texts are translated yet). More languages to come

Changes:
- Seed field in New Game now accepts only numbers
- Added possibility to select Server Port in Options / Misc. This should fix problem for people that could not start the game when an other windows service was using port 30000
- Tweaked Misc Options menu: select language English/German and set Server Port
- Changed font: new font supports other languages
- Template change: Small emergency oxygen bottle now only needs 1 oxygen bottle
- Increased fuel consumption on planets
- Flare Block + Window Blocks are now placeable also on Base and CV
- Improved ship controls -> slightly faster turning of SV/CV (less torque for RCS HV)
- Increased speed and range of rockets for turrets
- Tweaked template of Turret Minigun for HV
- Reduced spawn rate of PlantMonster and Slime. Increased Spawn rate of small dino.
- Added different plants to Akua
- Added new dinosaur to Akua
- Tweaked loot for Plant Monster
- Changed position of manually placed resources on Akua and Omicron
- Added community builds: Orbital Station (thanks to Luna) and 2 SVs (Akua and Orbit - thanks to Arturius1967)

Bug Fixes:
- Fix so that most corrupted save games can now be resumed
- Possible fix for HV and turrets bug
- Fixed minimap in orbit (still 2D) so that map shows correct position even after rotation (3D map still in preparation)
- Fixed bug that booster HV did not work reliable
- Removed "ghost terrain" in orbit (before you could see a semi-transparent version of a terrain in the orbit)
- Fixed colliders for creatures (Nightmare, PlantMonster, Desert Golem)

Some of you have emailed us that they have problems with the fly direction of their e.g. capital vessel. They started to build a CV but did not pay attention to the fly direction and now they cannot rotate the cockpit in the intended direction. We are currently working on this problem and we will remove the fly direction restriction in the next version. So please keep your builds and wait for the next update.

Thanks for reading
