Below & Beyond: Hotfix #4 - Patch notes

[obro1985]

I assumed it was intentional. With vanilla times, a ramp on an asteroid could likely occupy all your drones for most of the time you have to mine it.

This change makes the Tunnels even more irrelevant.

When you dismantle a prefab, you've got some material back. Prefabs used to give nothing back.

I usually buy drone hubs, then dismantle them immediately to keep the drones. With Drone Swarm, it's cheaper than buying drones. Now, I keep the drones and electronics. A bit OP if you ask me.

If this is an intentional change, the price of drone hub prefabs needs to be raised to about 300. If it's unintentional... jfc stop messing with the code base when you don't know what it does!

• Fixed where drones were active in drone hub extender range while the extender wasn’t powered
• Fixed the effect ranges remaining visible after refabbing a building
• Fixed rovers leaving the lander rocket twice

Still getting crashes on saving (corrupts save file) and freezing on auto save

Running PS4 version, via ps5 backwards compatibility. All dlc installed

Does the rover now benefit from the +15 cargo space? That had been bugged and was not working before and I have not seen it mentioned on a patch note yet.

It was fixed in hotfix #3 already, and has been working for me.

Hi game is freezing now, I have had to restart it two times, freezes during autosave, don't manually save, because there's a 50/50 chance, it will crash and delete, the save file. Also are you developer's ever going to fix late game lag, runs incredibly slow, after 150 Sols, it's very annoying. I'm playing the PS4 version, with latest update.

Having all the same issues to, ps4 version, but on ps5

Maintenance cost of in-dome buildings are increased by 10%. For example, Grocer costs 1.1 concrete. I think it is related to having breathable atmosphere and domes being opened. On Playstation.

This is an old bug, but I'll report it here. In PlayStation, Forestation station's tooltip has reference to mouse right-click. It was not properly ported from PC to consoles.

 

[obro1985]

The effect of Mars Nouveau are sometimes not applied. For a while, I didn't get 20% discount even though I have Mars Nouveau. Then, I started getting the discount after many sols. Not sure what is triggering it.

I understand the discount is not visible in the build menu. However, it is visible in the building site.

This applies to Moisture Vaporator prefabs too. In late game, I was dismantling a couple of Vaporators to rearrange my base. I notice that they give back polymers.
