Logic World v0.91 coming soon; previews available now
If you speak a non-English language, we'd love your help translating Logic World to that language! All the new translation strings in 0.91 are ready for you to translate. Head over to https://logicworld.net/translate to get started.
Simultaneously with the full release of update 0.91, we're going to raise the price of Logic World from USD$12 to USD$15 (and regional equivalents). It has always been the plan to increase the price throughout Early Access, and this new price point reflects that 0.91 is a more polished and more valuable product. There will be several more price increases before we get to 1.0. We are currently planning to never have a discount on Logic World, so the current price point is the lowest it will ever be. If you haven't bought Logic World yet, now would be a savvy time to do so :)
Note: preview versions might be unstable and buggy. Consider waiting for the full release before trying the update. To get access to the 0.91 previews: [olist]Back up your saves. We're pretty sure there are no giant horrible save-destroying bugs in the previews, but hey we're not omniscient, so be cautious and back up your saves! 0.91 saves are not backwards-compatible with 0.90; upgrading is a one-way process.
In your Steam library, right click Logic World and click "Properties..."
Select the "BETAS" tab, and choose the "public-previews" branch.

PHEW

- Updated Font Awesome to 6.1.2, with over 7,000 new icons!
- Fixed the secret setting `MHG.Flying.Secret.AutoEnterNoclipOnStartFlying` not even working, and breaking the game in various ways when set to `true` (#279)

- Added support for outlining Interactables that are not part of components. This is used for the big clicky button in the test world, which is now outlined when you look at it

- Changing Music Frequency will no longer cause music to stop playing (except when setting it to "Never")
- Fixed reloading the settings causing music to stop playing (i.e. by switching settings profiles)
- The fancy music effects in the pause menu are now a bit more subtle by default
- Fixed InputPeg.AddPhasicLinkWith throwing a NullReferenceException in many cases
- Periodic server tasks can no longer cause a server death spiral if they take too long. This was often presenting when autosave was enabled on a very large world.
- If the server fails to broadcast its existence on the local network, it will now disable local network broadcasting instead of just crashing
- Reduced the minimum time between connections to a server from a single IP from 30 seconds to 3 seconds

- Updated Unity version to 2019.4.40f1
- Upgraded server runtime from .NET Core 3.1 to .NET 6.0

- Various SUCC files, such as `settings_master.succ`, will now be automatically reloaded and their changes applied when the file is changed on disk.
- Configurable menu data is now stored in the profiled settings files instead of in a separate file for every menu. This means menu configurations now properly work with the settings profile system.
- Removed `config_override` files. All server config values are now stored only in `config.succ`
- Added a system for updating CustomData in saves when the layout for a component's CustomData changes between versions
- Removed startup screen in non-preview versions
- Added secret setting: `MHG.Secret.PreviewsOnly_SkipIntroScreen`
- Changed default offline player names from "Citizen [random number]" to "Bobby #[random number]", and reduced the max size of the random numbers
