addedDear Engineers!Currently, all of our efforts go into core mechanics of the game, to make sure we deliver the best gameplay experience possible! While your task in the game will be to build rocket engines with certain requirements, we would also like to give you some freedom during the process. Therefore, we’ve added some small but, as we believe, important changes.
changedDear Engineers!Snapped parts will now fall off the core if you put weight on them without fastening them first. If only a few screws were holding the material in place, the impact of component tearing off the core will destroy these screws. Therefore, it’s best to not leave the work only half-done, as you can permanently lose some of your resources!
fixedDear Engineers!Does it mean there is a fixed order you have to follow while building your rocket engine? Not necessarily! If you join two parts together into one, you can snap it to the core part and take it away anytime, without damage to any of the screws.
addedDear Engineers!Joining parts together creates a module, which from this point onwards works as a single part. It gives you more possibilities during your building process, as you don’t have to work on separate parts and join them one by one. Instead, you can combine many small parts into modules and make your job a little easier!
changedDear Engineers!You can use it to move around heavy parts in your workshop that would be impossible to move on your own. Did you finish assembling a module and would like to bring it closer to the other parts of your engine? Place gantry over it and move it!

Another change is the addition of gantry!
