Development phase
Pre-alpha
Release date
October 14th, 2025

2025.10.8.2502 is a KSA build released on October 14th, 2025 which included some updates and changes to ocean visuals.

Additions

  • Add textures to control the ocean's wind speed and color locally, local variations in wind speed are reflected in the distant sunglint seen from space
  • Add Jonswap "Joint North Sea Wave Project" ocean spectrum
  • Add basic ocean foam with controllable amount/strength
  • Added new mesh collection 'EarthScaleMesh', unused for now.

Changes

  • Split VolumetricExhaustReference data from Instance data into VolumetricExhaustInstance. Now we do not need to clone all data for each volumetric exhaust. Instead we create an instance for each with a reference to the single reference data required.
  • Fixed bug where deserializing a save with burns that have a parent of a non-IOrbiting astronomical (ie. The Sun) will throw an exception and fail to deserialize.
  • Fixed so we only show closest approaches within 1.5x the closest opverall approach distance to reduce the number of approaches displayed in the UI.
  • Fixed measuring of distance from vehicle to instead use distance to camera to display the celestial boxes and names in the UI.
  • Improve ocean shading, generate physically accurate roughness values based on the Atlas presentation and the paper "Linear Efficient Antialiased Displacement and Reflectance Mapping"
  • Improve ocean sky reflections
  • Make the number of FFT cascades easy to change
  • Tweak ocean colors
  • Fix mip level counts for ocean FFTs and cloud noise
  • Scroll ocean cascades correctly, fix occasional reset/jump when moving long distances
  • Tweak ocean mesh settings for higher subdivisions and more defined waves near the camera
  • Fix artifacts due to atmospheric scattering when looking at closeups of ocean surface
  • Moved mesh collections to Core/MeshCollections.
  • Renamed DefaultMeshes to DefaultMeshCollection.
