A new prefab mechanism has been introduced in build 21w26a in experimental.
It improves the current copy/paste tool and add the possibility to export the clipboard and share it on the workshop.
Then each "prefab" can be re-used later on, and be built as if it where a brick!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]Demo of the improved copy paste, the copied bricks having two rotors.


WARNING => with this feature it becomes extremely easy to put a lot of detail into a build.
The engine cant deal with an infinite amount of bricks.
Use it with caution, you are responsible for the negative performance of your designs!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]Simply use prefabs as if it where a brick!


Features:

• Copy/paste saves command state
  
• Copy/paste saves link assigned to brick from the clipboard
  
• Copy/paste saves children entity
  
• New Clipboard tab in the codex.
  
• Clipboard tab: Tweak offset and grid size inside the
  
• Clipboard tab: export to a prefab locally or on the workshop
  
• New Prefab tab in the codex: it will display previously saved / subscribed prefabs.
  
• Prefab tab: drag and drop prefab like an item
  
• Prefab: build prefab like a clipboard.
  

Still wip:

• Item bar dont restore prefab.
  
• Prefab category (turret / landing gear).
  
• Prefab preview and description.
  

A new RGB controller gate has been added to the brick roaster.
Use it to control the color and brightness over time on light and glow bricks.

Feature:

• Up to 4 colors
  
• duration tweak
  
• gain tweak: a higher gain will spend more time on the color and less inside transition.
  
• Loop or Ping pong.
  
• You can set the controller to be active or not with a simple switch.
  
• For now colors are RGB input, but a color wheel will be added.
  

This build also introduced some big change on the command system behind the scene.
This allows leveraging on the new data-oriented performance stack and will be used extensively in upcoming updates.

Bugfixes:

• #3860 Game breaks on Quit To Title
