Apparently, players of Dual Universe have been stacking construct elements on top of each other – ie a shield generator overlapped by a space fuel tank. This is evidently a problem that the devs at Novaquark are fixing with future updates, but in the meantime there will be a new feature in the Demeter update that will let players who are using a construct with stacked elements be alerted to the exploit.
This function will let players access a list of construct elements, with items that are overlapping being highlighted by a red triangle to help players know what to remove. This new alert UI is a temporary measure until the devs put together an automated process will be introduced in a future update that disables stacked or overlapping elements automatically.
In other DU news, the devs have written up the final two dev blogs that are all about updates to the Lua programming language, outlining new functionality like radar API updates, transponder API additions, and a list of player requested features among other things.
