We launched the Open Beta a couple of weeks ago and its going well! Many people are testing the new content and sharing their feedback. There were some technical issues and a stream of patches has been released to fix them. But the most interesting stuff is some new features and content! The roofs got some criticism in regards to the front. The diagonal holes were filled up with simple 3D-planks. These dont look like the 1x1x1 block textured planks.
We did some discussing and Zun thought he could replace the 3D planks with the actual texture, to make them match precisely. And he proposed giving the blue roofs the cobblestone texture, so that these can be matched in a different way. He implemented this plan and it looks great!
Rails have received junctions, to make them even more flexible. Paths can cross each other, and players can determine where they go on junctions. By default, players travel in a straight direction, but they can go left by holding A and right by holding D.
Last but not least, weve introduced signs! They can be placed on the ground, or on walls, or be hung from the ceiling. And of course, they can be inscribed with your own custom texts! It really helps to personalize your colony, and were looking forward to seeing what you will build with all these new things.
