Early Access Update #6 - Build 0.74b

Welcome back Engineers!

New User Interface

We've completely redone the User Interface. The tool wheel has been removed and new icons have been integrated throughout the UI, complete with tooltips. As a result, the Tutorial has had a complete overhaul and expansion. New features are explained as well as a few existing concepts. Access it from the World Map, we highly recommend you give it a play through.

Suspensions Reincarnated: Tracing Tool

Suspensions have been replaced with a new stronger Cable, old-cable has been renamed to Rope, perfect when used in conjunction with the new Tracing Tool. As requested by the community, we’ve added a Tracing Tool to make it easy to draw perfect arcs and curves and snap onto them while placing bridge parts.

Boats and Planes

New boats have been added to the Sandbox including the Houseboat, Yacht, Cargo Ship, and Hoverboat. We've also introduced planes: the Biplane, Helicopter, and Blimp.

Soundtrack

The full soundtrack by Adrian Talens (@AdrianTalens) has been completed and is available as DLC on the Store Page. Includes 18 tracks of gentle fingerstyle guitar music.

"Imagine going on the most relaxing road trip, let this soundtrack perfectly accompany you on your happy travels."
