V34.1.1 — Universe Sandbox 2

The core appeal of Universe Sandbox lies in its uncompromising gravity simulation. Every object in the digital void, from a tiny asteroid to a supermassive black hole, exerts a pull on everything else. Version 34.1.1 improves the underlying N-body simulation code, ensuring that even as you scale up your solar systems to include hundreds of orbiting bodies, the frame rates remain stable and the physics remains consistent.

All gases now contribute to an atmosphere's color and opacity. Adding sulfur dioxide, for instance, will now visibly tint an atmosphere orange and make it harder to see through. Material Swapping:

Universe Sandbox is a physics-based space simulator that combines real-time gravity, climate, and collision data.
