[News] Thanks to TheMessyCoder’ pointing out (his tag on twitter is @TheMessyCoder ) the new update for “hangars v2” was sent to Asset Store to review today - it will solve rare compatibility error, which happened if importing "hangars v2" over "base v2" and "colony v2".
Sci-Fi Heavy Station Kit hangars v2 is live on Asset Store!
What to expect in few words?
- LoDs, ID & Curvature Maps, Atlased PBR-Like Materials
- 944 prefabs if combined with Sci-Fi Heavy Station Kit base & colony.
337 meshes/269 prefabs if standalone - The update is Free for owners of hangars v1.2
As "Sci-Fi Heavy Station Kit Base V2 " and “Colony V2” have got several features, like to reduce drawcalls each theme now uses a single material, PBR look (kinda) was implemented, now same should apply to “Hangars v1.3” becoming “Hangars v2”.
I welcome you first to watch promo video, and after take a look at screenshots!
Last let’s go to website - for well presented promo materials, and all the info about new version.
In case you would like know more here, posting description at the end of this post.
The description is under spoiler:
It is a series of modular artistic kits, and the pieces of one kit are compatible with another kit, within Sci-Fi Heavy Station series.
LoDs, ID & Curvature Maps, Atlased PBR-Like Materials.
944 prefabs if combined with Sci-Fi Heavy Station Kit base & colony.
337 meshes/269 prefabs if standalone.
There are small modular kits within this Kit included:
- New Modular rail system with crane
- New Modular small pipelines
- New Modular big pipelines
- New Modular energy barrier-wall
- New Modular stairs for outside
New themes in Hangars v2 (143 new prefabs total):
- Aggregates2
- Garage
- Outside
- Top-Down2
New PBR-like materials are coming with:
- up to 4k textures
- Metallic map
- Height map
- AO map
- and ID map.
Misc
New animated mesh for Gateway
New animated textures for Displays
Added basic LODs that are:
- contain two to three steps of super quickly decimated meshes
- distances are set super quickly
- made into prefabs
- demo scenes are built with simple mesh
MODELING
A new look for old objects. New objects were added to expand your opportunities for creative development.
MAPPING
To reduce drawcalls, most models were packaged into themes. Each theme uses a single material. Some UVs have a bit of free space, which has been reserved for future updates (thus adding new objects will not require additional materials).
TEXTURING
All the materials now have Metallic, Height and Occlusion maps.
SCRIPTING
Earlier scripts have been corrected and expanded upon, and for widening the possibilities of the kit, new scripts have been created.

17 themes total, covering:
- Aggregates, Ballons and Cables, Cargocase, Consoles, Rail and Crane modular system, Reactor and Server
- Aggregates2 are huge single, dual and trio Pipes, Flat reactor, Huge barrels with various pipes
- Arches are three types of L shaped design elements, with customizable solid and/or transparent pieces
- Door and Gate
- Elevator
- Floors come as Floor Frames in sizes of 10 and 5 metres. There are also two types of narrow Transition elements and four types of Hand-rails. To increase visual interest, there are solid and transparent Floor Fill pieces to fit in floor frames.
- Garage are modular pieces for vehicle with wheels. Around that can be placed special maintenance platforms and with ladder for humans to get up. Also theme has own console and aggregate.
- Outside has modular energy barrier with intent for placing around the base. Also huge stairs, animated radar, cone-shaped station.
- Gateway are room-scaled areas for vehicles, with full-sized animated gates.
- Pipelines1 are new small modular pipelines
- Pipelines2 looks like ones in Base v2, but now they are modular
- Props are small and medium barrels, small battery, small to medium to big boxes, and small but narrow and long box that can be stacked on itself in pyramid form
- Supports are used to enhance heavy look of the base, and they fit into special slot in Floor Frame pieces
- Top Bottom are used to increase visual depth of the level when needed, and they come in three different pieces
- Top-Down has four types of walls for outside, and elements to close gaps for Top-Down use
- Top-Down2 has new supports for outside that strenghten visual look, three additional walls for outside, and pieces for Top-Down use
- Walls has 5 and 10 metres elements, flat and L and C shaped, with openings for doors, gates and windows
Room-sized gateways allows various vehicles to let in, then heavy cranes do the unload process. Meanwhile, in narrow, 5 metres in width corridors, aggregates are working full throttle, and a web of modular pipelines is leading the eye into the depths of the station.

[ News ] It is Fixed! And New Version 1.1 for hangars was Accepted! post #12
Patch notes for Sci-Fi Kit base v1.2 - post #9 and release of Heavy Station Kit hangar.
WIP over Hangars v1.3 to match Base V2 and Colony V2 - post #40
To Asset and Asset Store thread.
The first post is in spoiler
Here are few screenshots of the WIP Sci-fi Heavy Station Kit hangar.
Sci-Fi Heavy Station Kit hangar can be used as standalone pack and together with Sci-Fi Heavy Station Kit base.
hangar Kit comes with new shape of floors, walls, partitions, ect.
With base Kit [to Forum thread, to Asset Store] you have place for humanoids.
And now we would like to make room for vehicles [to free Space Scout Drone at Asset Store] too…
underwater…
ground…
space…
and maintenance area.
So decided to not upload minor patches every 4 days, and instead get it all together and do at the same time. And one of ideas is: to fill scene from screenshots with Light Probes. So you will see Real performance of the scene [ and of the Kit ] in a New light.
