Summary
Patch 1.43.2 addresses a long-standing legacy issue with world generation that caused critical mission items to fail to spawn. The update also reworks the final Museum Donation milestone, replacing the unpopular backpack capacity perk with a more impactful buff duration increase. Additionally, this patch resolves a significant technical hurdle for Xbox players regarding save file size limits.
World Generation & POIs
The developers have overhauled how Points of Interest (POIs) spawn. If the game cannot find a valid location during generation, it will now dynamically lower requirements and retry until the item is placed. This affects both new and existing saves, meaning some items or storms may appear in new locations.
Museum Perk Rework
The "Increased Backpack Capacity" perk has been removed. In its place, players now receive a perk that increases the duration of buffs provided by Galastropods and EVA by up to 30%. This perk consumes 5 U/s and scales its effectiveness based on the Museum's power levels.
Technical & Bug Fixes
A major fix for Xbox and PC App users now allows for save files larger than 16MB. Numerous fixes have also been applied to Megastructures like the Intermodal Terminal (IMT) and Orbital Platforms, particularly addressing multiplayer synchronization and automated shuttle behavior.
