    Greetings citizens, ~


    We’ve worked long and hard on this, and now we can finally reveal it. StarMade will be getting all new planets!


    Here is the first screenshot of the new planets:





    These new planets are according to our benchmarks about a million times faster to load and only take a fraction of memory compared to the old ones! Generating the actual core of the planet was the hardest obstacle to overcome as it required exact placement of one block in a very specific position. One coordinate off, and the block would be in a different position, so we had to work for countless hours on getting those three numbers exactly right.


    These planets will be visible from all across the universe, as long as you are no more than a mile away from them. They integrate into the game seamlessly. The problems of them not being round has been finally solved by using a cubic sphere representation that looks like one cube block, but, if you squint and tilt your head slightly to the left, actually kind of looks like a sphere.


    There is so much to explore! As you can see, this planet will have multiple biomes. While exploring you will encounter vast deserts full of sand blocks, deep forests with lots of foliage. Colder areas with ice crystals all over the place.


    Take out your ship core, strap a thruster on it and explore all these exciting new planets. Don’t forget your salvage computer to mine some resources on your journey.


    Can you identify me?


    Thanks for playing StarMade,

    The new planets are amazing, I used to only get about 10fps when near a planet now I get 10,000,000 fps.

    Is this case sensitive? Because, if it is, then people will have to try a lot of large-small case variations.
