June Status Update

Dear shipmates, a quick preview of one of the features in the upcoming 1.17.3 update of Floating Sandbox, the "Stress Overlay" visualization.

When enabled, this visualization displays the stress field generated by springs during the mass-spring simulation, shedding light on the dynamics of stress and on how shock waves propagate inside a structure. This feature has been inspired by our long-time friend Pac0master, and by CAD software such as this.

Here's the video - and by the way, if you look closely, you might also catch another feature in action which will be released with 1.17.3 :-)

Note that the visualization is still work in progress and might differ from the one that will be released with the update.

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?
