Version 34.1.1 was a major milestone released in March 2024. While it was followed by the jaw-dropping Update 35 (focused on graphics), Update 34.1.1 brought crucial foundational changes that improved how the game is played and processed. Here are the core features of this particular version:
: Simulates the impact of celestial bodies, including the formation of craters and the ejection of debris. Climate Modeling
: Improved backward compatibility for complex custom workshops saved in older iterations. Captivating Scenarios to Try in v34.1.1
Added an option to loop specific soundtrack tracks in settings.
Select any planet to open its properties menu. Change its mass, radius, composition, or atmosphere to see how it alters the system. Step 4: Fast-Forward Time
: Use the bottom slider to speed up time from seconds to millennia per real-world second. Popular Scenarios to Explore
Users appreciate the addition of new materials like oxygen, methane, and carbon dioxide to terraform planets realistically. The introduction of the spherical cow was a humorous but beloved addition for veteran physics fans.
The most visible change in v34.1.1 is how fluids behave. Previously, "water" on planet surfaces was a simple shader. Now, it is a low-resolution particle system. If you use the Sculpt tool to dig a trench on an Earth-like planet, water will physically flow into it. In version 34.1.1, this flow is 60% more efficient than in earlier v34 builds, reducing lag when simulating ocean currents during fast-forward time.
