right in time for asteroid day...

 

 

 

That looks much more "stock-alike" compared to the art style of the rest of the game than the previous asteroid texture. If only Squad could "dramatically improve" the planet textures up close like with the asteroids, while gaining a "400%" performance increase for them.

It doesn't say this anywhere. What are you talking about?

Look at the top of the post.  It hints at the possible addition of the Magic Boulder.

and we even found time to hide something small in the game that we’re sure a lot of long time fans will appreciate!

Also, more hint at Magic Boulder, a pass on asteroids:

* Dramatically improve resolution of asteroid textures, while simultaneously improving their shader performance by 400%. New shader can have very subtle desaturated brown/red hues sometimes.

Something special in the game? Long-time fans will appreciate? Obviously the magic boulder. 100 fixes is quite a large amount.

Edit: Wait.... the Magic Boulder may potentially now be in the game! 

The Magic Boulder may potentially now be in the game!

Edit 2: The asteroid texture improvements is just more proof of a potential new glowing rock.

Edit 3: It looks like Felipe's name now appears as a generated name, another new (separate from the potential new Magic Boulder) easter egg!
