Fixes:

-fixed an issue where if a loadout had a grip equipped on the weapon the player would not hold it with the hand in the loadout selection screen

Added/Changed:

-made an animation for the the loadout selection menu player models

-more GUI changes, e.g. changed the pre-game lobby screen as well, making it look more nice and clean

-added the ability to switch host. So if you are the host and want to pass it to someone else you can do that with a click, in the pre-game lobby screen

-added the ability to change map, game mode or few other settings from within the pre-game lobby, so the host doesnt have to go back and host again with different settings

-pushed the multiplayer version up to avoid unwanted mismatches. This means that players who didn’t update to the latest version will not see lobbies created by players who updated and the other way around

A hotfix has been deployed at 2:00PM EST 4/26

Fixed a bug where Poison would not effect players.
FIxed a bug where building damage reduction in combination with Neon Barrier would amplify the damage dealt for enemies travelling through the wall but would diminish the value of damage dealt by bullets back to the attacker.
Fixed a bug where in Rogue Mode, Neon Barrier would incorrectly scale with shield power.
Fixed a bug where Tanks would have insane accuracy on Level 19: Protocol Arena
Fixed a bug where projectile prism would calculate damage from missiles incorrectly. This should benefit the player by taking 1 less damage than the previous value.
Fixed a bug where R.A.M mod in Rogue Mode would decrease health at a faster value than intended on boss levels.


Hey Recruits,

It's your favorite Sector VIII pilot trainer. Logan! Today's patch probably comes as a bit of a surprise, as we didn't plan on a patch for a while. To let you in on a secret, make sure to join our discord and subscribe to our YouTube channel, because we have BIG news coming this week. Let's get on to the patch!

Bugfixes:

Fixed a bug where when fighting T.O.M there's a rare chance his HP bar would disappear.
Fixed a bug on levels 38-39 that caused some strange lighting.
Fixed several bugs and optimized both Survival: Systolis and Survival: Demrova.
Optimized several skills.


While this patch had no plans on balancing especially before our BIG news, we had to address to issues that we caused by bugfixing and optimizing.

Neon Barrier

Overall Neon Barrier has been a decent skill and that's not why we're changing it today, since we cleaned up some code, Pulsating nodes have a weird effect on them that causes repeated attacks against the wall to deal reduced damage back to itself as a sort of defense mechanism to make sure pulsating nodes don't get instantly destroyed when they shoot the wall. We changed the background code so pulsating nodes will take a bit more damage then previously now that pulsating nodes are a bit smarter than before.

Damage reduction from multiple attacks from Pulsating nodes changed from 50/25/12.5/0 to 70/70/70/70/70/70/70...

Pulse Blast

Pulse Blast was already down in the dumps, but now enemies are snippier and a bit quick to back into the action, with this new change it's time to lower that cooldown and give the player more opportunities to fight from a range.

Cooldown changed from 5.5/5.5/5.5 to 4.75/3.75/2.75

• UI: Fixed an issue where the stats window would not show up when hovered over an item.
  
• Maps: Optimization improvements on background assets for better performance.
  
• Stability: Fixed an issue that caused the game to hang in some cases.

New achievement for beating the Sugar Bear mini game, and should allow Mac users to select Spanish.

Hello Everyone,

We’re continuing our deep dive into The Splintered Sea expansion today, with a look at the new aquatic blocks and how they work!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2165710/Besiege_The_Splintered_Sea/

The Splintered Sea introduces 8 new blocks to the game, all designed to help you construct machines that can traverse water and navigate the challenges of an ocean themed campaign.




To help you move your machines through water, we’ve created three new blocks that each employ a different method of propulsion; the Sail Panel, Aquatic Screw and Paddle.



The Sail Panel provides you with a retractable sail that harnesses wind in order to propel your machine across the ocean’s surface. Retracting the sail while in simulation will slowly bring your machine to a stop.

When the sail block comes in contact with water it becomes wet and ceases to provide propulsion, but regains normal behavior shortly after exiting the water. While underwater, sails also create significantly more drag which can negatively affect the controllability of your machine.



The Aquatic Screw works the same way as a ship’s propeller, providing either forward or reverse propulsion. Aquatic Screws can be stacked together, forming one continuous unit that spins in unison. Modifying one Aquatic Screw with the Keymapper Tool, modifies any other screw that’s stacked together with it.



Due to their shape, Aquatic Screws also function as worm gears that interact with the grooves on Small & Large Cogs, causing them to rotate.



The Paddle block can be used to create oars for rowing or attached to wheels, turning them into “Paddle Wheels” (a method of propulsion used by early Steam Ships). The Paddle can also be placed on the sides of your machine, acting as a lateral dampener to help keep your machine moving in a straight line.




While many blocks in Besiege provide some degree of buoyancy, the Small & Large Barrel block’s buoyancy is customizable and has an upper limit that’s much higher than any other block. Placing and customizing their values allows you to finetune your machine’s overall buoyancy, whether it’s to support heavy cannons or balance a submarine.



While in simulation, you can use hotkeys to apply a “rise” or “sink” force to the Barrels that’ll help you control submersible machines like submarines. The amount of force applied can also be customized using the Keymapper tool.


To help you steer your aquatic machines we’ve created a Rudder block, which simulates a lateral force and provides more effective steering in water. You can of course create your own steering methods and even rudders out of existing blocks, but we wanted to ensure there was a block specifically designed for use in water as well.




The Harpoon Launcher has been a long requested addition for Besiege and what better place for it than as part of an ocean themed expansion! The block fires a devastating spear bolt attached to a rope, which can be detached or reeled back in at the press of a button. You can use it to pull enemy vessels along, winch your machine toward a target or maybe even do some fishing…



That’s it for today’s post, but fear not, there’s plenty more to talk about in the lead up to launch! In next week’s post we’ll take a deeper dive into building for water, discussing some engineering principles to consider, and demonstrating some tools we’ve created to help you build ocean faring machines.

See you next week!

Hey mates!

It's spring in our hemisphere, so this update will be colorful, like flowers in bloom! Only it's not flowers, but robots.

Anyway, we've released a new update, please check it out and let us know what you think - your feedback is fueling the development of Craftomation 101!

• Cargomates can now be colored, the same way as regular Craftomates
  
• Added an extra Cargomate by the Sulfur Source. It has a pre-written code, to help the new players understand what these big guys can do
  
• Added an additional warning that appears when a player selects to delete a Craftomate's code
  
• Switching to another window via Alt+Tab now mutes the in-game sound
  
• 'Repeat' command now has more comprehensive input/output names. The execution of the command was also made more user-friendly, as we've received a lot of feedback about this command being confusing. We hope it's all better now!

Old:


New:


Some extra pesky bugs were fixed, including:

• That one that caused a collision between Cargomate and a Storage
  
• That one that caused the grid in the programming interface to move, if a player switched between Craftomates while was open
  
• That one that caused a function to crash if a player copy-pasted inputs or outputs of a variable from another function

See you in a couple of weeks, when the next update rolls out! Speaking of which, we have a teaser for you: many players were asking us about robot-management interface, which was part of our development plan but didn't make it to Early Access release. It is now officially in the making, although far from final form:



And if you haven't done it already, please don't forget to add Craftomation 101 to your wishlist, it is an important marker to us, that brings the game's release closer:
