| Quote SpaceEngineer (  ) Some news about work progress on RC2. A lot of changes, because I want to make 0.974 as much Steam-fruendly as I can. This mean what SE must have full support of patching and installing mods by just adding files, without necessity of editing some default files such as universe.cfg.
Fantastic! As always, so many awesome features! I can't wait for the new modding system and seamless textures. 
All you need in life are space games and typhlosions.

| Wow! So many improvements!
What is the new Warp Drive physics model like? How does it differ from the old one?
And will neutron star coronae be making a comeback?

Not for me. Except that I no longer need my SE_Start.bat. At least not to manage my addons. What at the start maybe a few seconds saved. 
My addon folder structure:
Somewhere here I once explained how I do it.
The only drawback is that the shader I have in my addon folder, I can not update with F5 or Ctrl-F5.
Don't forget to look here.

| Forgot to mention, atmosphere model script (atmosphere.cfg) is also support modding. Now one can add a file addons/models/atmospheres/mymodel.cfg, and new atmosphere model will be generated and saved there, so you can use it with your planets. For example, old models Pinkworld and Greenworld can be restored that way.

Now this work for shaders in the addons/shaders folder.

| Does this mean there is a chance, that 0.974 could be released on Steam with Workshop-Support? This will introduce Space Engine to a much broader audience!
Even without Steam, the new modding system is a great addition. I'm looking forward to it

And how well our computer can do it will still be limited by our graphics cards, correct?

| Quote HarbingerDawn ( ) This is unlikely in the extreme. Xenon is a noble gas, which means that it's very unreactive, so it is unlikely to form compounds with other elements, which makes it useless for biology.
Xenon actually forms compounds with Fluorine readily and can with water to create various xenon oxides and can also bond with chlorine under microwave radiation creating xenon dichloride. Unlikely never means impossible.
Quote DeathStar ( ) No, it's not possible, or at least so absurdly unlikely(as HarbringerDawn said), that it probably doesn't exist even in our vast universe. I don't have an "Earth bias", I just know basic chemistry. Life based on xenon(or any other noble gas for that matter) is only marginally more likely than life that evolves and lives in outer space, considering how inert noble gases are.
Who knows, Stephen Hawking himself has brought up the possibility of incredibly exotic forms of life formed by unlikely or extraordinary processes. The DNA molecule and several microorganisms we know of do have the ability to persist in space after all.

| The_Watcher5292,
in the system folder within your SpaceEngine installation is a file SE.log. Please post it here.
Don't forget to look here.

| Another note on the xenon issue is that xenon may not be the sole component of the atmosphere, just the only one present in any notable abundence. I have not gotten 0.9.7.4 to work, so I do not know how sensitive the atmospheric composition is to gasses in low abundance, but minor gasses can be important. Carbon dioxide is only about 0.04% of Earth's atmosphere but it is still important to plant life. The xenon atmosphere could even be a product of life, as organisms sequestered more reactive elements from the atmosphere, leaving behind the rather inert xenon.
