[h2]Note for Windows 7 users[/h2]

Your operating system is obsolete. But if you want to keep using it anyway, you will probably need a little update:
KB3063858 for 64 bit (probably what you need) KB3063858 for 32 bit (if your computer is older than you)

[h2]Added[/h2]

• "Dynamic" collision mode. Dynamic mode switches between discrete and continuous based on velocity. It serves as a middle-ground between the two, being more reliable than discrete mode but not as CPU-hungry as continuous mode.
  
• Android "skin" can be burnt off, just like pre-temperature-update versions
  
• Boat motor
  

[h2]Changed[/h2]

• Made organisms more vulnerable to hot/cold environments
  
• Minor changes to metal impact VFX

• Modded liquids will now correctly cause a contraption to require mods
  
• A bug, believe it or not
  
• Crate debris fuckery
  
• Bug to do with piston correction
  
• Winch connector thing being weird when flipped
  
• Android arm decal rendering
  
• Moving foliage around in pause mode will now bring leaves with them
  
• Problem to do with car doors being broken and then being copy-pasted
  

[h2]1.23 - March 28 2022[/h2]

[h2]Added[/h2]

• Substructure map
  
• Mechanical Belt
  
• Resizable Housing (colorable box that maintains a correct texture when resized)
  
• Bottle
  
• Power Hammer
  
• Trees
  
• Bushes
  
• Magnum Revolver
  
• Bazooka
  
• Liquid centrifuge
  
• Spot light
  
• Normal wheel
  
• Particle Projector
  
• Key triggers now clearly show what key they're assigned to in Detail View. They can also be given a description.
  
• Contraptions now have an "info" button. It'll show you required mods and some other useful information.
  
• Some more bone breaking sounds
  
• "Slowly heal injuries" is now toggleable
  
• "Open in Workshop" button, if applicable
  
• Thumbnail size warning on Workshop upload
  
• "Ambience Highpass" setting. It allows the player to set a highpass cutoff frequency for the ambient noise. This is useful if you suffer from crackling audio issues.
• Search bar in mod menu
  
• Better explosion shrapnel. Some explosions will now emit shrapnel (invisible, behave identical to bullets)
  
• More wooden strut stress SFX
  
• Optional "Choose object under cursor" keybind. It's like Minecraft middle click.

• Organisms have a chance to walk a bit when shot
  
• When shot in the head, there is a chance for visual brain matter to fly out
  
• Distant SFX. Guns and explosives now have special sounds that are heard when they're distant.
  
• Clearing everything will now reset the map too
  
• Overwriting a contraption that you've uploaded to the Workshop and then uploading it again will update the existing Workshop item.
  
• Destructible machinery can now be made indestructible using the context menu
  
• Flamethrower flames and fire extinguisher... puffs (??) now collide with objects, they have no effect on things behind walls
  
• Contraptions that depend on mods will now have a list of required mods added to the description. There is no way for me to automatically add required items to the Steam upload. You need to do this yourself.
• For modders: LiquidMixingController. Visit the modding wiki for more information.
• For modders: the SkipSerialisationAttribute can now be applied to a class as well. This will exclude the entire component from the serialisation process.
  
• For modders: A Map object now has InstantiateOverride. This is an Action that, if not null, will be called on map load instead of instantiating the Prefab. The proper container is provided as a parameter.
  

[h2]Changed[/h2]

• "Biohazard" category is now "Chemistry" (FindCategory treats them as the same)
  
• Made metronome more consistent
  
• Renamed "Wheel" to "Wooden Wheel"
  
• Minor changes to metal hit effect
  
• The exact colour of the LED Bulb can now be set (this replaces all other LED Bulbs)
  
• Broken electronics spark SFX
  
• Pistons will keep pushing/pulling. They can no longer be forcibly moved by other objects without them returning to their target state.
  
• The Tank is no longer a solid block of metal. It has an engine and gas tank, just like the car, and its turret base is detachable.
  
• Made humans heavier and stronger
  
• Blood will no longer spill out when a limb is stabbed. Instead, most of the blood will stay inside until the sharp object is removed.

• Made the nitroglycerin explosion more powerful again
  
• Minor changes to minigun behaviour
  
• Made bell a bit less loud
  
• Changed minigun SFX
  
• Minor change to rocket launcher SFX
  
• Small change to sniper rifle SFX
  
• Changed 120mm cannon SFX
  
• Changed tank cannon SFX
  
• Increased tank barrel weight
  
• Increased tank cannon recoil
  
• Decreased tank suspension strength
  
• Decreased tank speed
  
• Tank muzzle blast is a little more dangerous and is much larger
  
• Decreased ambient sound rate on Humongous
  
• Decreased bullet drop
  
• Phase link is now only visible in detail view
  
• Increased default mod compilation duration limit and increased maximum loading time from 60 seconds to 120 seconds
  
• Selection outline is a little less vibrant
  
• Minor changes to human bruise colour
  
• Minor changes to human blood impact
  
• Increased grenade fuse from 2 seconds to 4 seconds
  
• Mods that use the "Application" identifier are marked as suspicious
  
• Rockets launched from the standard rocket launcher will slow down more underwater and will get stuck inside immobility fields
  
• Decreased activation signal amount warning sound rate
  
• Increased activation signal limit
  
• Layering changes to the tank
  
• Lowered impact force of bullets on very hard objects (like bulletproof plates)
  
• Minor changes to brick impact VFX
  
• Decal sorting order stuff
  
• Made that little orange thing in the corner of outdated contraptions a bit smaller
  
• Small wood impact is a little louder
  
• Made sliding sound less loud
  
• For modders: deprecated Hover.collider and all wire colliders
  
• Removed very low frequencies from ambient hum
  
• Pistons now stop working completely when broken
  
• Made some bullet impact SFX a little less loud
  
• Increased "stop animation on damage" damage threshold
  

[h2]Fixed[/h2]

• Absolutely terrible oversight in the serialisation and deserialisation of wires. Wires should no longer turn pink / disappear after paste or load. This should also fix a whole bunch of other problems to do with the serialisation of specific objects.
  
• An awful design flaw to do with continuous activation signals. This should not introduce any unexpected behaviour unless you expect something to be broken. Some contraptions may rely on this inconsistency, and they will break. Most contraptions will benefit from this and behave a lot more consistently. It should also reduce (pretty much eliminate) activation signal limit warnings.
  
• Improved fast moving wire performance
  
• Debug messages doing the DRAG SELECTED thing.
  
• Glass no longer increases detector range if placed in front of a mirror
  
• Zombies moving even though they're dead (more deader)
  
• Other minor performance improvements
  
• Fixed an LED bulb issue that you never noticed
  
• RemoveLiquid bug that can cause liquid underflow
  
• Some pumpkin stuff
  
• Weird explosion miscalculation (CreatePulseExplosion)
  
• Minor firearm bugs
  
• Liquidentifier going nuts in lava
  
• Bicycle is now made of metal too, just like the others
  
• Bug where explosives could trigger other explosives infinite times
  
• Some deletion stuff
  
• Soap problems
  
• Water making the entire map float
  
• Outlet liquid decal issues
  
• Contraption synchronisation can time-out (20 seconds per item, just to prevent an infinite loop in case Steam loses its mind)
  
• Toybox scrollbar stuff
  

[h2]Removed[/h2]

• Removed liquid pressuriser sound
  
• Removed rotor sound
  
• Expanded gore is gone
  

Specific items from 1.22 are no longer compatible with 1.23.
These items are:
- 120mm cannon
- 30mm cannon

If your 1.22 save has any of these items, it will no longer work in 1.23. To recover these, just load them in 1.22 and remove the cannons. Save the contraption in 1.22 and load it up in 1.23. Then you can just add the cannons again.

Preview 1.23 is now live on the preview branch.
Please report any bugs here and follow the instructions carefully.

Because I am working on too many things at the same time. However, these past days have been fully focused on People Playground and I've made a lot of progress. More is coming.
