Hello everyone! Today we have another Besiege update for you, Version 0.32! Over the past few weeks we’ve been working hard to eradicate a lot of Besiege’s bugs, that have been building up since release. Whilst this update is mainly about those fixes we’ve also got a new tool for you to try out, The Symmetry Tool! The Symmetry Tool The symmetry tool has been on the cards for a while now, basically it allows the builder to symmetrically place blocks with a single click. You can mirror the placement of blocks across three different axis in order to speed up the production of your war machines!
Bug Fixes The main portion of version 0.32 is bug fixes, in total there are fixes for 62 bugs in the update and made a number of improvements. We've also had to make significant changes to the game's joint system in order to address some fundamental flaws that were causing serious bugs. As a result we have improved joint stability, however it is possible that certain machines may not function as before and that certain build practices will be adversely affected, these include: ---We fixed a rotation bug that would prevent blocks from attaching correctly, machines that relied on this bug will no longer work properly. ---The Pin Block is now far more rigid, some machines may experience parts snapping off if they are not properly supported when using Pins. In other news, level production is going very well and we’re hoping to have the next couple of campaign levels soon! Work on other unannounced features is also proceeding well and we should be announcing them in the near future! We really hope that you find the symmetry tool useful and enjoy a less buggy experience whilst playing Besiege. We’re sorry for the lack of new content in this update but we wanted to spend some time fixing the many bugs that have been mounting up since Besiege’s early access release. Thank you for your continued patience and enjoy! Von Changelog V0.32 ADDITIONAL CONTENT Added Symmetry Tool IMPROVEMENTS Undo/redo now works with the flipping of blocks Changed pin block to use a kinematic system to increase performance of it. Switching from camera block to default camera now has a smoother transition Added new option, "More Accurate Physics" that increases physics accuracy Various GUI tweaks Switched engine to Unity 5.4.0f3 offering increased performance due to: ---Improved multithreaded job execution (Engine). ---Improved multithreaded rendering (Engine).
