More5.5.2

More5.5.0
May 23, 2024
V5.5.0
- all rocks have high quality colliders so you won't run into an invisible wall
- when entering the spaceship, planets are always in front of it
- adjusted star scaling for all planets with atmospheres
- adjusted pulsar rotation
- added the Solar System in the favorites section, to access it faster
- fixed ~12 bugs, full list on discord
More5.4.9
April 19, 2024
V5.4.9
- new character controller (if you run into steep cliffs, you will stop).This will also fix the bug with the terrain moving underneath you
- devices with high RAM will have better terrain colliders, so you should not see the character going into the ground
- improved flight mode graphics settings menu
- changed Neptune to its true color and added an explanation why it is no longer deep blue
- adjusted Titan atmosphere and colors
- can jump (affected by gravity) and swim
More5.4.8
March 17, 2024
V5.4.8
- adjusted textures a bit so that they are more clear when you approach the terrain with the ship
- adjusted character camera so that it won't look under the texture

January 26, 2024
V5.4.5
- bugs fixed (time slider improved, values won't jump super high now; close button was wrongly placed when exiting the system)
- new database configuration - better classification for gas giants. All are now giant planets and only if both mass and location match like Jupiter/Neptune - they will be considered gas giants or ice giants
- planet type search improved (can now search for Super-puff, Jupiter-like and Neptune-like exoplanets)
- online database changes will be more frequent, as changes come from multiple sources (NASA/PHL/exoplanet.eu) and exoplanets might switch from gas giant to terrestrial or viceversa based on updated parameters
- more default favorites added in the Explore menu (a selection of unique worlds)
- 55 Cancri is a binary system/HR 8799 is a single star/multiple systems updated
- new search: tidal locked/non-tidal locked exoplanets
