1.22 preview

Preview 1.22 is now live on the preview branch.
Please report any bugs here and follow the instructions carefully.

This is a preview branch. Do not play on this version of the game unless you are accepting of potential bugs, lag, and possibly permanently corrupting your save data (or worse).

1.22 - ?? 2021

Added

• Much better bells. You can select a piano key in the context menu.
• Infrared thermometer
• Liquid outlet
• Thermal vision
• Vases
• Wire direction snapping
• Detached 30mm HE autocannon
• Entities feel momentary pain when stunned
• "Stop animation on damage" setting
• "Set object temperature" context menu option
• Escape key escaping things
• Objects are now destroyed if they are out of bounds for over 5 seconds
• "Recompile" button that is shown when a mod failed to compile. This way you don't need to restart the entire game when you are developing a mod.
• Maximum mod compilation duration setting. 10 seconds by default. A mod is only allowed to take this amount of time for compiling, otherwise its terminated and ignored.
• Blood decal & particle colours are now accurate to the actual liquid inside the body
• Water cleans objects
• Balloons now pop under pressure
• Exit wounds for stabbing
• Humans can get paralysed if their spine breaks
• There is a chance that an injury punctures the lungs of a human, which can cause low oxygen levels and death
• Organisms now have specific "vital" spots inside their body. For example, head injuries are no longer necessarily a brain injury.
• Organisms can now bleed internally. Internal bleeding can cause many issues, most obviously twitching, slowness, and loss of balance (in case of a head injury). Major internal bleeding results in death.
• More intense bullet metal impact sounds
• If set to "Drain", the blood tank can now spill into other containers. This means you can make finally a nitroglycerin shower. It can also spill onto non-container objects, but this will not transfer the liquid effects onto that surface.
• Firearms can accidentally discharge when dropped
• Multiselect using shift (by default)
• Toybox size is now remembered
• A few optional keybinds
• Unbind button in keybind menu

Changed

• Humans regenerate limb integrity slowly
• Lowered contraption spawn outline delay
• Living tissue regenerates visual blunt damage slowly
• Adjusted impact damage so that head injuries are more dangerous
• Fire kills less quickly
• Increased general impact damage severity
• Decreased blood impact particle intensity
• Decreased bleeding particle intensity
• Other minor changes to humans
• Disassembler is more likely to disintegrate things
• Increased maximum bullet penetration iterations to 128. This will make thick, soft obstacles more penetrable.
• Some firearm SFX changes
• Wood impact SFX
• Increased blood vessel wire transfer speed
• Minor changes to liquid rules
• Joint stress sound rate
• Beam rifle now heats up objects it strikes
• Blaster bolts heat up objects that they reflect off of
• Increased rocket launcher impact dismemberment chance
• Multi threaded the ambient temperature system
• The ambient temperature grid can now propagate more effectively
• Replaced "Symphony No.40, Mozart" with "Danse Macabre, Saint Saëns 🎃" in the Jukebox.
• Minor changes to keybind page
• "Show selection/freezing outlines" settings is now called "Show hovering highlights". It will also disable the red wire highlights.

Fixed

• Minor optimisation
• Minor bug fixes
• Weird bandage tool bug where you could attach it to other wires
• Water splashing being audible from seven light years away
• Ceiling turret not correctly saving/loading frozen state
• Syringes not being affected by pressure system
• Accidental overwriting of contraptions
• Bug where you could resize the toybox with middle mouse button
• Occasional flashes of light when spawning in items
• Bug causing knockout poison to appear pitch black
• Center of mass being all messed up when the object is resized or flipped
• Pull/push powers occasionally causing teleportation
• Disappearing center of mass etc.
• Accumulator not having a heat shield option
• Object pooling issue
• Lingering limb status UI things after deserialisation
• Conveyor belt pinning serialisation issues
• Lingering objects after disintegration

Removed

• The old bells. Contraptions with old bells in them will still work.
• PersonBehaviour.AverageAngle
• "Liquid overflow limb exploding" setting

Updated modding wiki

Many new articles have been added to the modding wiki, as well as a sprite asset browser.

I waited so long for this?

Yes. I am so sorry. We've been working on a different game as well, which has slowed down this game's development. Now I spend half the day working on the unreleased game and the other half on People Playground.
