Iron Log #31 - New demo, who dis?

It's time! There is a new demo version on Steam, free to play of course! There are a lot of major changes so starting a new game will be required. If you want to continue on an existing save I'm making a branch available to continue playing called "pre-0.3".

So what's new? Mostly quality of life improvements and general bug fixes will be noticeable in the demo. A lot of new buildings and technology has been added to the full version which will be released soon! Here's a list of what to expect in the updated demo compared to the current demo version.

📦 Building & Automation QoL

• Blueprints can be saved and loaded between sessions

• Splitters/mergers auto-connect when aligned

• Recipes organized by category + show crafting building

• Power usage graphs available when inspecting power poles

• Drag-to-place power poles when connecting wires

💧 Fluids

• Fluid indicators on machines showing where to connect pipes

• Ability to drain pipes and storage tanks

• Fluid simulation reworked to be more predictable and stable

🔬 Progression & Research

• Research Tables & Labs now use Data Packs to research technology directly

• Rebalanced many recipes, research, and build costs

🌍 World & Resources

• Resource nodes now spawn in tighter clusters of the same type

• Ferrocrystals can be auto-mined after hive destruction

• New enemy: Needler (ranged attacker)

• Weather has a much higher chance to be sunny and clear skies
