Rover Builder Update - Plate material, new tutorial
We just shipped an update! Here’s what’s new:
There’s a new Plate material! Basically it’s sheets of (breakable) material that you can build from existing steel beams. It attaches to the middle of the beam, and breaks apart if one or more connections fail. The broken pieces vanish after 10 seconds. You can make all kinds of stuff with it: cart floors, scoops, bridge vehicles, decorations etc. Get creative!
There’s now a completely new tutorial that’s not a single video with narration. Instead it’s a slideshow of auto-repeating short clips with texts that you can navigate as you like. The tutorial guides the player through building a rover with a rotating scoop. The tutorial is displayed in the top corner so that you can build along while the tutorial is playing! Unfortunately we made the new tutorial before adding the plate material so it’s missing from there :P Oh well.
Other fixes:
Fixed a bug where pressing O while writing the name of the rover in the Gallery opened the options menu (if a part was selected)
A couple other bug fixes
