Universe Sandbox 2: V34.1.1

A small but powerful UI addition: the Material Composition Pie Chart. Click any asteroid or exoplanet. Version 34.1.1 now visualizes the exact ratio of silicates, iron, water ice, and carbon. This is critical for realistic terraforming, as you need to know if a planet has enough volatiles to sustain an atmosphere.

Older versions suffered from "time dilation glitches"—when two neutron stars collided, the simulation would stutter and skip frames. v34.1.1 introduces an Adaptive Time-Step Corrector. This algorithm automatically reduces the simulation's tick rate during high-velocity collisions and increases it during stable orbits. The result is a buttery-smooth 60 FPS even during the destruction of a solar system. Universe Sandbox 2 v34.1.1

If you own Universe Sandbox 2 on Steam, v34.1.1 is a free update. If you are considering buying the game (currently $29.99 USD version 34.1.1), the answer is a resounding yes for three reasons: A small but powerful UI addition: the Material

The most visible change in v34.1.1 is how fluids behave. Previously, "water" on planet surfaces was a simple shader. Now, it is a low-resolution particle system. If you use the Sculpt tool to dig a trench on an Earth-like planet, water will physically flow into it. In version 34.1.1, this flow is 60% more efficient than in earlier v34 builds, reducing lag when simulating ocean currents during fast-forward time. This is critical for realistic terraforming, as you
