Floating Sandbox 1.17.1 Is Out!


Dear shipmates (by now almost shipbuilders),

We already have an update for you!

Like it often happens with major code releases, the 1.17.0 update had a couple of issues that could cause the game to crash. We've quickly fixed them (thanks Chris!) , and in the process we've also slipped-in a couple of improvements!

Here's the changelist for this mini-update:

  • ShipBuilder:

    • Added "Sampler" tool, to inspect and select materials from existing particles

    • Added "SHIFT lock" to "Pencil" and "Eraser" tools

    • Fixed crash when using CTRL^Z keyboard shortcut (Undo) when undo is not possible

  • Added a small "grace period" before allowing water-sensing switches to flip again

  • Fixed sporadic crash when activating the WindMaker tool underwater

We strongly recommend upgrading to this new 1.17.1 release, even if you've upgraded to 1.17.0 already, as it removes these two annoying crashes.

Talk to you soon, hopefully this time with a status update about new features!

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

I have added rewards for quests so that villagers can give you something in return for your hard work helping them. 🥳

I want to know - what's your favourite quest reward?

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

So here's the first of the zodiac signs i will make for the next weeks.

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
