There are two problems on the client side of the game:
1. it doesn't create physical collider (trigger) for debris (unlike asteroids and ships). So when you point over it, the game doesn't recognize it as object at all.
2. there is no localization string for generic "spaceobject" tag/type.

We will fix both issues with the next patch.

Regards!

I just checked and there are no special tag for debris, they are known by the game core as "spaceobject" tag.
So if you want your device to act on debris, you need to use "spaceobject" filter, not "debris".
You cannot introduce new tags :-(. It's hardcoded.

The mining is not hardcoded at the game core code, it's implemented with Mining devices at mining device script "data\scripts\devices\ModuleMining.js" it calls GetAsteroidDescriptionByID() so it expect to work only with asteroids.

I think it's possible to introduce special mining device to "mine" debris, but then you need to make another device script for it.

Hello!
The multi-monitor support in Unity was very limited when we released the game, but now it was finally implemented. We will try to provide support for selecting active display (it will also grab proper resolutions for it) right at the options menu you've screenshooted.
We will try to implement this for the next patch.

Current workaround is to mark the screen you want to play on as primary at the Windows Display settings (right click on your Desktop).

Regards!

Hello!
Thanks for detailed response. We know about the multi-monitor issue on Linux, Unity team is working on improving this behavior in the next builds. It improved slightly for Unity 5.3, but there are several other issues producing black screen for most Linux players. So we're waiting for the patches from them.
As temporarily workaround you could try switching secondary screen off, so the game will start on the primary screen.
Regards!

I'm glad to help. Enjoy the game!

VoidExpanse v1.6.5 is available now. Please note this fix:

"Fixed:
* Radar not updating on some multiplayer servers. To server admins: please edit SettingsServer.xml file and change <fps_network_physics_update> value to 20 instead of 30. Otherwise your server may produce much more traffic than required for comfortable gameplay."

[=== VoidExpanse v1.6.5 ===]

=== VoidExpanse v1.6.5 ===
Changes:
   * OpenGL 4+ support enabled for Linux (required to launch the game for most Linux players). Please note: there are still some issues related to Unity 5.3 like "constant screen shaking". We're seeking for a workaround.

! Extra notes !
* Saves ARE compatible with the previous versions!

Well this is nothing to worry about :-). The game wanted to write final message to console, but the console was closed before it. We will fix this later.

V-Sync is enforced.
The same problem with VoidExpanse v1.6.5 (available in Betas on Steam). Crappy Unity :-(... We're seeking for a workaround.

There are should be a "Core" folder (containing "CPK"-file) right in the game server folder, or in its parent folder. Please be sure you copy it from the game installation.

Hello!
Thanks for reporting.
Yes, we knew about the issue and it discussed here (at the end of topic):
http://steamcommunity.com/app/324260/discussions/1/451851477875414926/?tscn=1453655426
Could you try switching on v1.6.0 as I posted at the Steam topic? We need to knew if the issue was introduced by updating on Unity 5.3 (v1.6.0 was built with Unity 5.2) or the problem is with the latest NVIDIA drivers.

Regards!

Jerd-zn, thanks for the log file. Unfortunately it didn't have any related errors. We will investigate more to determine the source of issue.

Hello!
You need to install mono-complete - it includes all requires assemblies (such as System.Xml.Linq).
OR, you can run the server by using bundled Mono. Just execute
.\VoidExpanse.ServerMono.Bootstrapper.Bundle.Linux32
or
.\VoidExpanse.ServerMono.Bootstrapper.Bundle.Linux64
at the server folder. Add " --dedicated" argument if you want to run it as dedicated server (so config and logs will be stored inside the server folder).

Regards!

Hello!
Did you used recommended export settings as shown on this screenshot? http://wiki.atomictorch.com/images/1/17/VoidExpanse_Blender_Export.jpg With this settings we didn't have any issues. I will ask our artist if needed.

Regards!
