@github-actions github-actions released this 20 Oct 08:51

This major release incorporates about 6 months of changes to bring to game to a more coherant state. These haven't been very well change-tracked so v0.1.0 is going to be considered the new origin for a changelog. What's in Rocket Plumber now:

  • An in-depth fluid network simulation, based on electrical circuit simulation maths, where pressures, flows, and even the layout of your pipes affect how your engines behave.
  • Several types of rocket propellants, including cold-gas, monopropellant, and fuel/oxidiser bipropellant.
  • A range of propellant feed systems, from simple pressurised gas and pressure-fed liquids to more complex turbopump-driven engines.
  • Build your own rocket engines by moving components around, connecting them with pipes, and experimenting with different designs.
  • Fine-tune your more complex engines, adjusting valves to balance mixture ratios and flows, prevent overloads and overheating, and maximise thrust.
  • Plan encounters with other ships on the Space Map, plotting trajectories that you'll need to execute precisely using your engines.
  • Progress through the galaxy, salvaging increasingly powerful fuels and components from the ships you encounter as you accumulate velocity.
  • And finally, a way to escape the galaxy and win the game! Build up a powerful enough ship to complete the final manoeuvre in one enormous burn!
