Mod Update and Second Screen Manual Improvements
Update 1.2.8 is now live.
There are now more than 70 mods in the Workshop. That's about one new mod per day since we introduced mod support in August!
If you were to install all of the new mods the combined manual would be over 120 pages!
If you haven't had a chance to check out mods yet you can find them in the workshop.
To keep this momentum going we've made some changes to give mod creators more options including:
- Support for looping sounds and multiple sound variants
- Ability to get lights out and alarm clock events
- Better handling for gamepad controls
- Support for more than 50 subscribed mods
We've also made it easier for players to find the combined manual with mod pages and adjust mod settings with links in the menu dossier.
When playing the game with a VR headset you can display the manual on your monitor and control it with a second controller or the keyboard.
This update brings a lot of changes to the look and feel of this manual to make it even easier to get started.
- Changed wire sequence to make the wires larger and easier to interact with
- Updated VR utilities for Oculus and Steam VR
Note that while we've done what we can to make the workshop update process as smooth as possible there may be a few mod incompatibilities including slower mod loading speeds until creators have rebuilt with Unity 5.4.
