Planarium Panorama

Planarium Panorama v1.6.1

Changes since v1.5.1

New

• Neighboring Planariums: nearby jars show their interiors and form a shared view (0 to 10 neighbors, 4 by default, and blocks and lighting only).
• Assembled Create contraptions on Sable structures (Aeronautics propellers, symmetric sails), in the giant scenery and miniatures.
• The detail radius is now circular instead of square.
• Contraption Lights compatibility is now automatic (the integration toggle was removed).

Improved perfomance

• Frustum culling: scenery outside the camera's view is skipped, including during flight.
• Fewer freezes when loading scenery (background preparation, better lighting caches).
• Distant scenery is no longer recaptured for minor changes (256+ changed blocks or a new light source needed).
• Moving structures no longer refresh just because they move: their lighting updates once they stop, removing the periodic lag spikes in flight.
• Reduced colored-light overhead during flight.

Fixes

• White pixels flickering between scenery blocks.
• Sky showing through water in caves; dark cave fog now also applies underwater in closed caves.
• Contraption Lights colors stopping at the detail radius.
• Scenery particles and ship block entities fading into fog too early.
• Rotating contraptions wobbling, and copied bearing heads out of sync with their sails.
• Portable engine copies: animation, smoke, glow and sounds.
• Full-bright parts tinted by nearby colored lights.
• Lighting changes near contraptions not refreshing them.
• A small memory leak; the neighboring Planarium cache is now capped.

Other

• Clearer configuration descriptions.
