Exposure: Space

🔭 1.4.0

Every object redrawn

All 256 icons are drawn again in one style: light from the top left, no black outline, and each one is drawn to look like the real object.

• Stars are coloured by their spectral class and sized by brightness. Doubles show both stars (Albireo is gold and blue), supergiants are discs, TRAPPIST-1 has its seven planets.
• Jupiter has the Great Red Spot, Saturn the Cassini gap, Pluto the heart, and Uranus lies on its side.
• Exoplanets get their measured colours where they're known: HD 189733 b is cobalt blue, GJ 504 b is magenta.
• Nebulae and galaxies look like their famous photos, the Pillars of Creation, the Horsehead, Andromeda almost edge-on.
• Sgr A* and M87* look like the Event Horizon Telescope images. LGM-1 is the pulse plot off the Unknown Pleasures cover.

Sky

• Stars twinkle, more near the horizon. Planets don't.
• Small bright objects (stars, pulsars, quasars) get a soft glow in their own colour.
• Low in the sky everything is dimmer and redder, like through real air.
• Comet icons no longer have a painted tail. The game draws the tail along the path the comet actually moves, same as the fireballs.

Viewfinder

• Lock brackets snap onto the target. Under them a card shows the object's icon, name, type and tier, and a signal meter fills as you centre it.

Screens, blocks and lenses

• The Analyzer has its own screen instead of the grey vanilla box. Wooden frame like the block, and the photo slot sits in a starry window.
• The Cosmic Album looks like an actual book now, with a purple leather cover and paper pages.
• The Night Analyzer got the same frame and a dark console screen.
• Both analyzer blocks are redrawn. While a photo is being analyzed the screen on top lights up with a star in the crosshair and a spectrum.
• Telescopic lenses are redrawn to match Exposure's own gear: grey barrel, round glass. You tell the tier by the glass.

Fixes

• The Fabric version loaded with any Exposure version, but it needs 1.9+ (on 1.8 the attachment slots broke). It now asks for 1.9+.

Nothing in your world changes, studied entries keep their progress.

Requires Exposure 1.9+ and Architectury. Dedicated servers fine, same jar both sides.
