Repeated intro
Hello everyone! Today we're releasing a new patch which includes Linus/SteamOS support! This version is still experimental, so if you are using this os please report any bug you find. We also added new actuator blocks! Pistons, advanced pressure pads and retractable blocks combined with wiring will let you create complex machines which interact with the world. We'd love to see your creations with these new mechanisms. Last but not least we added new crossbow weapons, explosive arrows, improved spears among with many reported bug fixes/balance tweaks. We hope you enjoy this new version. Have fun! ENHANCEMENTS
