Builder Changes
CHANGED - Removed 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)
CHANGED - Updated the selected block group visuals.
CHANGED - Updated the Block Nub visuals.
CHANGED - Selected blocks are now opaque rather than transparent.
NEW - Added a Clear Blocks toggle in the Builder Settings for those who still want selected blocks to be transparent.
CHANGED - Shortcut keys are now displayed under the block action buttons.
CHANGED - We have also updated the default shortcuts for Copy and Delete. The original shortcuts of Insert and Delete still function, they are just not shown as a shortcut.
CHANGED - Block Action buttons now appear centered above the selected blocks in a group rather than over the first selected block in the group.
NEW - When hovering the cursor over a block the face being hovered over is now highlighted which means if you press Copy the block will copy in that direction. This means that copying is no longer solely tied to camera position. (Controller Only).
NEW - Improved feedback when selecting and dragging a block out of the Inventory with Mouse and Keyboard.
NEW - Added a visual for where the cursor has selected a block with Controller, this is to give the player a focal point to better understand where the block will attempt snapping to.
CHANGED - We 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.
NEW - With Controller you can now drag and drop blocks by pressing and holding A (X on PlayStation). Releasing the button will place the block.
NEW - Added 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.
CHANGED - Slightly re-ordered the order of the block action buttons.
NEW - Blueprint 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.
GENERAL
When banning a block in Multiplayer (as the host Right Click/Press the Right Stick down on the block in the Inventory) you are now able to set a max limit on the amount of the block you would like people to be able to use, or outright ban it’s usage for that session.
Added some new Builder Tutorial pop ups that appear in the Builder. Experienced players can turn these off completely by toggling off the ‘Builder Tutorial Tips’ option in the Settings menu.
Added a toggle to Settings to not show the FPS Warning that appears when FPS is low.
Moved the position of the FPS view to not obstruct the compass in game modes where it’s displayed.
Added the Angle Gizmo from the Aiming Servo to more blocks, such as Hinges.
Optimised the Blueprint loading times.
When playing in game modes with a Map Shroud, such as Pioneers, you can now see the rough outline of the terrain before you have discovered it.
In Pioneers, Frozen Tracks and Airborne nearby enemies will now appear on the map and compass.
Improved how we display missing content on Blueprints you have.
BLOCKS
Hover Block - Added a toggle to make the block not turn off when seat is not occupied.
Added a Mute on Input toggle to Logic Sensor blocks to allow them to be toggled on and off with an input.
Wheels - Toggling off Auto Brake on wheels will now also apply in a non-player occupied structure. Previously the wheels would still brake if a player was not in the seat.
Shotgun Tweaks
- Damage increased from 40 > 50.
- Clip Size increased from 3 > 4.
- Reload time decreased from 1s > 0.5s.
- Power Core cost increased from 1 > 2.
RAW Engine Tweak
- Improved the acceleration speed of the RAW engine to make it a more meaningful upgrade in Pioneers progression.
Steering Hinge, Large Steering Hinge and Racing Hinge
- Added a new ‘Mode’ drop down to these blocks. This has three options: Steering, Linear and Hold. Default behaviour will remain as Steering.
