🔧 Update V0.3.10.1 is live; bringing a new map, new blocks, colors, and more!

Happy Friday everybody!

We have a big update ready right in time for the weekend. We added a prototype area (also called grid map) where you can test and drive infinitely:

We also added five new building blocks. There are no new engines or wheels or similar yet, but inspired by your ideas, we added a new connector and four new decorative beam parts. And on top of that, there is a new speedometer which you can switch back and forth, where ScrapMan gave us the idea for.

Full changelog of v0.3.10.1:

New map

• We added a new testing area map. It is called Supersonic. There are some areas and ramps to test your vehicle. But mainly, the map consists of a very big and wide plane, where you can infinitely test the top speed of your vehicles. As soon as you reach the end of the map, the game will teleport you to the other end of the map, without resetting your velocity 🙂
• There are also two small race tracks in Supersonic. One is a three laps race in the oval, and the other is a wild course through the testing area

New building blocks

• We added five new building blocks to the game. Most of the heavily inspired by our community
• Deco Winglet 1x2x3: A small, rounded decorative winglet. Has no aerodynamic properties
• Lasercut 3x5 Triangle: A triangular lasercut part
• Connector double: Like the connector, but with a pin on each side
• Part Beam Edge 3x5: A beam shaped like an ‘L’
• Part Beam H: A beam shaped like a ‘H’

New car colors

• To welcome the summer we included 4 new summer colors for your car which you can find all across the island

Torque curve

• You can now see the torque curve of the previous calculation when pressing ‘X’ in the building editor. It always shows you the previous curve, and renders the current power curve on top. This way, you can compare the differences you make to your powertrain
• You can now also inspect and enable the power curve during driving. Just press ‘N’ to switch the speed gauge

Minor Changes

• We adjusted the prices of the weight blocks. The small weight price changed from 205 to 15, the medium weight from 480 to 28 and the big weight from 1400 to 45
• We added a super sonic bang sound that happens, if you exceed the speed of sound
• We removed two collision boxes from the gear shift blocks. Now you are able to put pins through the holes properly, which should make it even easier to build gear shifting mechanisms
• You can now assign the WASD keys to a stepper motor again 😉

Bug Fixes

• In multiplayer you can send other players your cars by right clicking them. This was bugged and didn’t work. Now it should work properly again
• There has been a bug, where the back button in the settings menu stopped working, and one had to restart the game in order to get it working again. This should now also work again
• I tried to fix the problem of server hosts again. Maybe now the first person which joins a server will stay host of that server, no matter if that person disconnects
• There was a stone on the map which had no collider. That stone should be able to stop you now
• It was possible to attach a stepper motor to the powertrain of a vehicle. Since the stepper motor had an insanely high top speed, it could be used to create waaay too powerful cars. This is no longer possible

We hope you enjoy the new update, keep the feedback coming and have a great weekend!

Drive safe, friends!
