Sandbox Bugfixes and Improvements

Hello fellow engineers! We are excited and extremely grateful for everyone's submissions to the Automaton Newsletter! Your levels are really awesome - there are very challenging ones, cleverly designed using the game mechanics, and even mini-games - we had a lot of fun playing them! In the meantime, we have addressed the issues reported to us in this update. As there are many of them, we won't go into detail here. Please see the release notes section below for more information. Wed like to explain something to everyone regarding the fact that "Why I cant edit the test cases or level content, once the level is load onto level uploader? It is due to a rather fundamental design of the game, "when a player plays a level, a copy of the level template is actually made (a savefile), and editing is done on the copied file". We cannot guarantee whether the player modified level template in level uploader can 1. Apply the change to savefiles and 2. Whether the verification savefiles should be deleted. We apologize for this inconvenience. At this stage, it seems that we need to modify the game's fundamental design to allow modifying a level in level uploader. To address this, weve currently taken a compromise approach: to reduce the need for re-verify as much as possible. In this update, we have made some changes to the behavior of the level uploader - when loosing level constrains (ex. allowing other players to use more Diagram Item / actions, Devices, or raising certification standards), we will no longer require re- verify of the level. When lowering the certification standards, we will only require re- verify of the automaton without deleting any saved files. Only when restricting the available Diagram Item and Devices, will delete the savefiles and require re-verify. We hope that this change will make level creation and sharing more convenient. And once again, thank you for your patient support!
