Controllable Contraptions - New Wiring System, and more!

Patch Notes: V0.1G 22nd March 2024

Hey everyone - another awesome update today!

We’ve completely revamped the sandbox mode wiring system to allow players way to actively control contraptions in game, AND the ability to control them while playing as The Enjenir! 🤯

Hope you folk enjoy this one, and looking forward to seeing what

Brand new features!

• Wiring System A new wire system has been added, which removes the need for Universal Controllers. You can now simply bind controllable members to your 1–9 keys using the new wiring system. To use the system you need to:
• Click on the member you want to control
• “Wire” it to a 1-9 (by left-clicking the function and dragging onto the specified key)
• You can have multiple items linked to the same key to create more intricate movements!
• Once set up, this wiring system allows you to control your structures and contraptions using the 1-9 key once they have been built, either from the building camera, or the third person character!

Items you can control with the new Wiring System:

• Rotators
• Pistons
• Potato Spawners
• Wyvern Engines
• Explosives
• Propellers

Triangular Sheets
When placing sheets, you now have the ability to choose between 4 different sheet types, including 3 different triangular shapes. The default sheet remains the square sheet. As with the normal sheets, use the scroll wheel to change the scale of the sheet.

Wooden Chains
In addition to ropes, you can now place wooden chains for a different method of attaching two things together. These chains work differently to ropes (thanks Weigl/GHF for the idea!) and we’re excited to see how people use them!

Selection Tool
The selection of member types is now displayed differently, with the UI locked to the screen in the same place for every member. The way the items are highlighted is also a lot clearer, making it easier to understand which member is currently selected.

New Music!
We've added a whopping 12 new tracks to the in game soundtrack! More info to come on that soon... :jammies:

New Community Build Challenge
We've integrated the Community Build Challenge information directly into the main menu of the game! We'll be announcing the challenge information on the discord itself soon - you can check it out in game now for a early preview!

Oh, and another friendly reminder if you haven't already, pleaser consider leaving a review on Steam if you can! :) And if you want to see sneak peaks to new features, or just want to chill and chat with us devs, join our discord server below!
