Repeating Added to Production Modules. Production modules can now be set to repeat via their control panels. When repeat is on, the module will continue to produce the selected recipe as long as it has power and the necessary ingredients.

Modules that have this behavior:

 * Targeting an item with a target pin, storage sensor, or battery sensor will now outline all items affected, not just the item directly targeted
 * Segment cables now show their activation flow when highlighted, and which segments are affected by removing a segment pin
 * Segment pins can no longer be placed when a segment is too long, to prevent accidental deletions. (You can still manually delete a held segment pin.)

Updated Items

 * Auto-arm settings can now be toggled even when unpowered
 * Animated sensor zone visuals

Bug Fixes
The following are still known issues as of version 1.14.71.0:


 * When a Resource Canister is attached to the Auto Extractor while set to output and then switched while slotted, the canister will not autofill it's first resource. If slotted while on the input setting, it should work as intended. We hope to address this in a hotfix.
 * The Wanderer’s Way Achievement is still not earnable on Dedicated Servers. We are continuing work on this issue and hope to have it fixed as soon as possible. The Achievement is earnable in single player and peer-to-peer multiplayer games.
 * Target pins connecting T1 items on T1 slots are still having issues with selecting platform or storage instead of the slot if there’s another T1 slot closer to the camera. This is especially noticeable when slots appear in a grid pattern. It’s most prevalent on Figurine Platform, Medium Storage, and Large Platform C. It also occurs to a lesser degree, depending on the camera angle, on Medium Storage Silo and Extra Large Storage.

DS/Multiplayer
Fixed community reported crashes which would occur in Multiplayer after switching the game to Survival Mode and continuing normal gameplay.
 * Dedicated Server | UI | In the Server Info tab, controller and arrow keys can navigate beyond the selectable region of UI elements
 * Implemented new guards in the code which should help alleviate the issue where shuttles would stop launching from orbit on Dedicated Servers.
 * Implemented new guards in the code which should address the issue of stale save files piling up on Nitrado Dedicated Servers and taking up too much storage space.
 * Large and Medium Resource Canisters' Tool Tips now appropriately update correctly for Clients while the canister is being filled in Multiplayer games
 * When playing in Multiplayer, all players can now see T1 items that are picked up by an Auto Arm
 * Fixed the executable properties description to accurately reflect System Era studio information
 * Fixed the issue where Client players were occasionally unable to equip their terrain tool after flying to other planets when playing in Multiplayer or on Dedicated Servers
 * Turning on "Allow whitelisted only" setting no longer deletes all "Unlisted" players from AstroServerSettings.ini

Audio

 * Fixed an issue where the Soil Centrifuge was playing duplicate panel open SFX.
 * Fixed an issue where the Soil Centrifuge collecting sediment canister SFX was stuttering when filling module with soil.

LTE

 * Expired April LTE Customization items (4ML A-TYRE and TURRET-A-PORTER) are no longer visible in the customization menu if they have not been unlocked by the player.

Modules

 * Adding an Extra Large Shredder to an Extra Large Platform A should no longer cause the game to crash
 * Medium Soil Canisters no longer cause performance degradation if the output is enabled while the canister is slotted
 * Game no longer crashes when running 3 or more Chem Labs
 * All harpoon node items now only attach to visible areas on Medium Storage

 * User is now able to remove resources from the Chem Lab input slot after changing recipes
 * Terrain Analyzers now retain color after loading a saved game.
 * Items added to a halted Shredder are now shredded when shredding resumes
 * Medium and Large Resource Canisters with nuggets in the output slot no longer create nugget connectors when shredded
 * Trade Platform no longer allows the output to be switched during takeoff, patching an exploit which gave infinite expensive resources at no cost.
 * Shredder now moves completed Scrap nuggets to available slots as soon as they become available

Automation

 * Soil Centrifuge, with the repeat button on, will now not start until 1 full Small Canister’s worth of soil is placed in the centrifuge. (Except when the centrifuge is set to Ammonium which requires 2 full Small Canisters)
 * Auto Arm will now only place valid items into small and medium generators
 * Resources are no longer available when an Auto Extractor fully depletes the resource node
 * Items being picked up by the Auto Arm can no longer be picked up at the same time
 * Auto Arms will now reset back to the input side and pass resources
 * Auto-Arms will no longer take partial nuggets from Resource Canisters when the arm starts to grab the nugget at the same time as it is moving to the input slot
 * Auto Extractor must be fully anchored in a valid area before gathering resources
 * Auto Extractor will now stop extracting when placed over a resource that is different than the one in the canister attached to it
 * Tooltip for the Sensor Harpoon stays active even when the user quickly branches two nodes
 * Sensor harpoons make snapping noise when hovering over open lightboard storage slots.
 * Sensors and Repeaters can no longer be grabbed from a closed backpack
 * Resource canisters that are deleted while they are consuming/producing resources will no longer create partial nuggets
 * Auto Arm will no longer pull resources from the input slots of the Chem Lab
 * Duplicated canisters are now displaying the correct color for the resource or gas they are containing.
 * Canisters set to output will now allow Auto Arms to place the resource type as set into them
