May 2026 Status Update


Dear Shipmates,

A tiny pause between coding some new stuff to bring you up to speed with the latest developments with Floating Sandbox.

First off, the first official 1.1 of the Android port was rolled out today to 100% of the devices! The update sports all of the Silt'N'Smoke features, the ability to pause the simulation, glitch fixes and performance improvements, and new ships!

Second, we're busy working on the next update!

We're adding some exciting new features - some of which touching at the heart of physics - and we have a great idea for a revolutionary update for the ShipBuilder! More about these in a future update.

Last but not the least, the administrators of the "FS: Designer's Studio" Discord server warmly invite you to join the community! The Discord server is home to Floating Sandbox enthusiasts as well as master shipbuilders, and it's a great place to hang out, learn how to build good ships, and showcase your creations! Join the server at https://discord.gg/m2yfkcfRme.

That's all for this update, back to coding! [tiny_pause.pop();]

Gabe

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.

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.
