Version 0.189996
1. Type of change: Core mechanics (Thrust)
Change Type: Thrusters are now using more power than last update, and the GUI and structure panel are reporting erroneous numbers
First noticed on 2015-03-06
First noticed on Multiplayer
The issue is as listed under change type, Imgur link to the relevant issue Pictures are HERE

​

Thrust is fine. The gui reports the "unit calc mult". You have to multiply this with 1000/30. Starmade does have some serious rounding though.
that "damage" should be removed though, but we already have an issue about incorrect GUI numbers.

Double checked numbers in game and power use is the same as before so no idea how you are suddenly using more power on thrust compared to last update.

Hmm. I will get back to my guys on that. They are all saying it is using more power now, and backdating and checking the configs proves it is not. We have ships 3 versions old now that are no longer stable under full thrust so something somewhere has changed it seems, just not in the thrust.

Thanks for the effort put forward though, I appreciate it

Well thrust DID change a (long) time ago, but certainly not in the last 2-3 months.

Thank you for your effort! Edited the main post to include this.

Checked, and confirmed. It is in the General tab of the options menu for anyone interested. the F12 menu is dead useful as well, as it makes it easier to see if it is a server, or a client having issues.

Community Bug Report -- Starmade .189997: Slanted Circles in Build Helper
When using large-radius circles rotated to be horizontal in the build helper, the circle, although set to 90 degrees, is at a slight angle instead (about 90.5 degrees), resulting in one side of the circle being lower than the other.

Has been reported: http://bugs.star-made.org/issues/1127
I quote from my test I did back then.

You could use the slider to get to 87 and then use the arrow buttons to get to 90. -> rotation incorrect
Use arrow buttons and then use the slider to put it on 90. -> rotation correct
Only use arrow buttons. -> rotation correct.
Only use slider. -> rotation correct

Perfect. This is more or less the exact idea I had when I had put up this post, users actually collaborating on something for (ideally) the betterment of the community.

Noticed tonight in the Catalog -> Admin tab there are some new options for admin bulk spawning and cleanup.
