Incoming Hotfix - 12/05/2021




[h2]Patch Note Updates[/h2]

  • Magnets now have an optional electromagnet mode (can be turned on/off with an action). Magnets are permanent by default.
  • Fix: Central unit sometimes drifting away from the grid, causing multiple issues
  • Fix: Rotator consumes energy all the time when "return to center" is enabled
  • Fix: Keystrokes change order when reassigning keys
  • Overwriting existing keystrokes now possible. Existing keystroke becomes empty when overwritten. (easier to swap 2 keystrokes)
  • Added a visual indicator when placing mirrored parts
  • Community rovers tab now has paging and new sorting methods (popularity, subscriptions)
