[h2]1.22 - November 1 2021[/h2]

[h2]Added[/h2]

• 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 HEAT 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

• 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
  
• Minor changes to the machine gun and 30mm cartridge
  
• 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
  
• Multithreaded 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

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

[h2]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).[/h2]

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


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.
