🚀 Cosmic Frontier — Changelog

0.1.0 — built to be looked at

Forge 1.20.1 · client + server

🎨 New vehicle models

• 🔩 Every vehicle rebuilt in detail, from hundreds of small parts, each in its own material: painted hull plates with seams and rivets, gold foil, heat-blued engine steel, black heat tiles, tinted glass, hazard stripes, orange foam, vent grilles and lights that glow on their own
• 🚀 Rockets: round bodies, a capsule with framed windows, a hatch and RCS thrusters, a launch escape tower, tanks with bands and cable trays, engines with turbopumps and cooling bands, swept fins, boosters on struts — the same parts for the three tiers and every modular design
• 🛸 The shuttle: heat tiles underneath, a framed canopy with a dashboard inside, navigation lights, winglets, a tail with its rudder, glowing engine bells, skids on struts
• 🗼 The service arm: a lattice beam, the fuel hose in its clamps, the umbilical plate with hazard stripes
• 🔥 Engines light up only while they fire

2.0.0 — other stars

• 🌌 Three galaxies from your world's seed: the Milky Way and two far ones, 56 stars from red dwarfs to blue giants
• 🌍 Procedural planets of seven kinds — barren, desert, ice, volcanic, ocean, living and crystal — each with its own terrain, gravity, air, temperature, ore and sky. Every galaxy has a world you can breathe on
• 💠 Jump drive and warp cells for the shuttle, a star map, and exotic crystals that grow only on crystal worlds
• ☀️ Solar panels give what each star gives
• 🥶 Titan's cold now does 3 damage a second (a full stomach could heal it away)

1.0.0 — the shuttle

• 🕹️ A ship you fly yourself, with Newtonian physics on six axes: mouse to steer, Z/C to roll, WASD and Space/Ctrl for thrust
• 🧭 Flight assist (V): it brakes every drift and holds you in the air
• ⬆️ Fly into orbit by your own hand, dive out of it and land wherever you like
• 🗺️ Navigation computer (N), a hull that dents on hard landings, a nuclear engine upgrade

0.9.0 — Saturn

• 🟠 Titan: orange smog, -179 °C, methane lakes and tholin dunes that a refinery turns into fuel
• ⛲ Enceladus: geysers that throw you thirty blocks up, under Saturn's rings
• ☢️ Nuclear generator for bases where the sun is too weak

0.8.0 — Jupiter

• 🌋 Io, Europa and Ganymede, with Jupiter huge in their skies
• ☢️ Radiation and the radiation suit; uranium and the nuclear thermal engine

0.7.0 — more orbits

• 🌙 Orbits of the Moon and Mars, fuel depots, greenhouses that feed life support, the orbital shipyard

0.6.0 — orbit

• 🛰️ Low Earth orbit with the Earth turning below, a station, docking ports and life support bubbles

0.5.0 — the engineer

• 📐 Modular rockets: the design table, the rocket equation, stages that separate in flight, blueprints you can share, the assembly hologram

0.4.0 — further out

• 🧮 The rocket assembler and mission calculator; Tier 3; Mercury and the asteroid belt

0.3.0 — the red planet

• 🔴 Tier 2 hydrogen rockets, Mars (dust storms, Phobos and Deimos) and Venus (lava, clouds, heat); ice in the lunar craters

0.2.0 — the base

• ⚡ Power, the electrolyzer and oxygen, the animated service tower, mission control, sounds, the Engineer's Manual, advancements

0.1.0 — first flight
