RoboCo Early Access Update - Version 0.7.3.310

NEW!

• Linear Spring - A spring of uniform diameter that compresses and extends with a damper inside.

  • Linear springs come in two sizes - small (1x1x1) and large (3x3x1) -- which can be resized to a length of 1x1x25 and 3x3x25 respectively.

  • Similar to the large piston, the large linear spring takes up more space but is more powerful, capable of higher settings in its Properties panel.

• Torsion Spring - A spring whose endpoints twist, storing and releasing rotational energy.

  • The torsion spring comes in one size (1x1x1) and isn’t resizable.

• Suspension Wheels - Left and right wheel constructs that provide basic spring suspension.

  • Suspension can help steady the chassis of your vehicle as it drives over uneven terrain.

  • Each construct includes a wheel, motor, and spring with some default properties.

These will be available right away in the Sandbox, and you can unlock them in the Campaign if you have at least 18 bits.

Bug fixes:

• [Steam Workshop] Badges for Dance, Dance, Robot Revolution and Piñata's Peril were not showing up as completed mission tags in the Steam Workshop.

• [Steam Workshop] Local copy was not saved to robot list after loading a Steam Workshop robot that was created and the user chose to restore local copy.

• [Across the Goo] It was possible to earn the "Without touching the pipes" secret after touching the pipes to get across.

• [Saving/Loading] After overwriting a robot, the robot was deselected in the save/load menu, even though its name remained filled in the filter bar and the Save New button was still available.

• [Usability] Humans lost line of sight of the robot too easily, which made it difficult to navigate them to specific areas.

• [Build] When first dragged out of the parts menu, long wheels did not validly snap to short rods that were attached to other parts.

• Additional minor fixes and updates.

Noteworthy known issues:

• If you’ve attended any backyard parties in RoboCo lately, you may have noticed that a certain Pinata appears to be made of titanium alloy, and is nearly unbreakable. It’s a real vibe killer! Accordingly, we’re switching Pinata suppliers and will have a much more breakable version of this Pinata available in our next update. In the meantime, we recommend sticking to the main objective in Pinata’s Peril while we sort out this pesky supply chain issue. For a brief and mechanical description of this issue, see the bullet points below:

  • [Pinata] User is unable to achieve "Break the Pinata while it's high up" objective.

  • [Pinata] Achieving the "Destroy the pinata in one hit" objective is inconsistent.
