What changed

6 fixes3 additions4 changes1 removal
  • Gameplay
  • UI and audio
  • Performance
  • Fixes
addedAdded an admin only "Get Persistent Player" gate that returns a Player reference that survives the player respawning, which you can use for advanced game modes. These can also be stored in variables.
removedThe previous iteration of this idea ("Get Character" and "Get Controller" gates) has been removed as it caused too much confusion.
changedImproved the wire shading to make the 3d cylinder shading effect more subtle and extend wires further from their ports when connected long distances sideways from their port.
addedRemoved the physics sound. It sounded bad overall, had a tendency to create extremely loud and annoying noises when objects got stuck, and significantly degraded the physics performance, so we did not feel like this feature was adding to the game in its current state. We will implement a better solution at a later date. As a result, viewing physics heavy worlds like the washing machine in single player is now up to two times faster depending on your graphics settings.
changedUI
addedAdded icon-name rich text decorator. This allows you to use all font awesome 7.1.0 free icons. See https://fontawesome.com/search?s=regular%2Csolid&ic=free-collection for the list of available icons.
