The Copper & Reach patch — Galactineers Steam update #300677

Hey guys, if you relaunch the Steam client, you'll see a new update for the game coming in. The most important thing we did was refactoring the components to be able to use a different graphics profile ("Reach") without losing visual quality. The performance of some graphics devices should increase visibly. Other small performance improvements have been integrated as well. In preparation to the upcoming feature "energy supply for buildings" (and bases), a new resource has been added to the game: Copper. It comes as an ore block and can be dug via the mining towers (like gold, coal, etc.). The copper nugget (item) can then be processed into copper blocks (also available in the ship designer and the editor!), and is required to craft Powerblocks and cables. The next update will be a bigger content patch, containing the first Level 4 elements and -hopefully- the first cooperative PVE missio...
