This update contains many new parts and the overhaul of the submarine features. There are some new mechanics available in build mode and many of the existing features have been more polished (SFX, VFX). This update also contains various bug fixes. This build marks the end of a large chunk of planned work, which is exciting because it included a lot of content and that I will get to start work on more destruction stuff next (explosions). There is one more large chunk of work before version 0.8 (which indicates some solid progress towards completion)

Notes
Previously small amounts of damage on large durable vessels (steel) would register as 99.56% (for example) and this would display as 100 on the UI because it does not decern decimals for the sake of real-estate and rounds up. In cases like this the UI will now display 99 until the repairs are complete and hull integrity reaches 100%. The only downside to this is that small dings on very large vessels (which may take a bit to repair) will have little indication of progress due to being such a small fraction of the vessels hull integrity, but will now be noticeable on the UI. This may have been previously detected visually and repaired even though the UI said "100".
Submarine engine propellers will now damage the Nautikins due to updated colliders that erroneously prevented damage.
There are now over 100 parts in the game.
Change notes listed as "Bow thruster" also apply to stern thrusters
Next / Prev position does not have controller bindings.
Smoke emitters do not have controller bindings.
New build keys do not have controller support.
New build adjustments keys support scale, stretch, and move. They do not support rotation or pivot (Backlog item)
Saving a vessel will now save 2 preview files. The first one is for in game previews which are small for performance reasons and because the preview is small. The larger images will be used in case the vessel is uploaded to the Steam workshop later in order to produce a higher quality default preview image without having to manually edit the preview. If you have a workshop item with a low res preview you can save the vessel again and the high res preview will be used for the next update of the workshop item.
I will upload the submarines from the video to the workshop.
Heya gamers, heres some more info about this game and the update that ive been developing:
State of the game
This steampage will be temporarily be hidden for discovery, but you will still be able to play, download and share the game.
Why is that? Ive lost the old source files for this game, so i cant really update/support it anymore, and im not really satisfied with the current state of the game. While i do plan to rebuild the game from ground up and then update it, for now it will stay hidden until im finished.
As we wrap up the first week, we're reminded of how valuable these initial days are. We're truly grateful for the feedback and reviews that have been pouring in from both Steam curators and our dedicated player community. Your input matters immensely to us.

Music is one of the key features that weave a captivating atmosphere. In a setting whose ambience has won the hearts of thousands, such details are especially important.
