Builder Changes
- CosmeticCHANGEDRemoved the Radial Menu from Controller when holding R1/RB. There is now a new menu that matches the KB+M design with relevant shortcuts.
NEW - You can now take actions on blocks by just hovering the cursor over them and pressing the relevant shortcut, removing the need to select a block you want to take action on. You can of course still select the block if you prefer. (Controller Only)
- CosmeticCHANGEDUpdated the selected block group visuals.
- CosmeticCHANGEDUpdated the Block Nub visuals.
- CosmeticCHANGEDSelected blocks are now opaque rather than transparent.
- CosmeticNEWAdded a Clear Blocks toggle in the Builder Settings for those who still want selected blocks to be transparent.

- CosmeticCHANGEDWe have changed Controller movement inside the Build Context to be axis based which will generally make the experience of moving blocks around more stable and less jittery.
- CosmeticNEWWith Controller you can now drag and drop blocks by pressing and holding A (X on PlayStation). Releasing the button will place the block.
- CosmeticNEWAdded a ‘Lock Color Sections to each other' option in the Paint Shop for applying the same colour to primary and secondary at the same time.
- CosmeticCHANGEDSlightly re-ordered the order of the block action buttons.
- CosmeticNEWBlueprint Folders. Whilst you could always create this in File Explorer on Steam, you can now create Folders on all platforms with in game UI. Technology these days is crazy.
