1.62.10 just hit the Experimental branch, featuring:
- The amount of damage inflicted on an unbroken ringroid by a mineral processing unit will now depend on the surface area of the ringroid, not its volume.
- Patched an exploit where a mineral processing unit could produce unlimited propellant if you ingested a ringroid that had a reflectivity threshold above the damage inflicted by the unit. As long as you did not move, the device could produce propellant without actually damaging the source. The amount of produced propellant will now depend on the actual damage inflicted by the unit.
- Updated translations.
Feedback Focus: OCP-209 mining. Most of the changes will affect OCP builds, since they were frequently ingesting entire asteroids to process. Changes introduced here will patch up a potential exploit, but as a side effect, they do rebalance the amount of propellant you can get with your ship, as well as change the processing rate of unbroken ringroids - which in turn will cascade out to kinetic energy of your cargo and ultimately the entire refinement process. Please report how do you feel about flying with these changes applied.
