Merged material editing
There is a new button in the toolbar of the custom unit creator to improve material editing. Materials from all items of the unit are displayed as a single list and matching materials can be edited as a single entry, preventing you from having to copy paste colors between items!
Edit modular building materials during placement
When placing a modular object, you can now edit the color before placing it. The game remembers the setting while you keep placing supported objects. Otherwise, you can load the last used settings with a click of a button when you start placing supported objects again.
Object groups
The concept of object groups has been added to the custom battle editor:
- Selecting a single object from a group will select the whole group, unless you hold Left Alt while selecting
- Object groups can be created or dissolved by selecting objects and using the "Make Group" button in the left toolbar
- There is a new editor setting to enable prefabs to be placed as groups automatically. (Editor Settings in the bottom right corner)
Selection filtering
Selection filtering can be used to remove specific types of objects from your current selection or focus it on a specific type of object. When a single object is selected, there are suggestions to add matching objects to your selection.
Embedded prefab and unit editor for custom items
While creating custom items, you can now test them directly in the integrated prefab or unit creator depending on the item type.

Custom ref size objects
You can now load any vanilla or custom object from the game's database as a reference size in the custom item editors!
Burned skin paint for custom units
A new body paint item has been added to add burn marks to units that are similar to those of burned zombies.
Scripted Rendering
There are various new nodes to render primitive 3d objects from scripts. This can be useful for debugging or quickly visualizing something without having to create full custom objects, especially since materials/colors can be updated every frame.
Depending on demand, this feature will be extended to support screen space rendering or custom 3d objects
