Hello Experimenters,
We’ve released a small hotfix for Experiment 03. Below is a full list of the changes and bug fixes.
Part Count Increase
As those of you who follow the Reddit page will know, we often highlight amazing community creations that genuinely impress us with a “Community Highlight” flair. Some of these have been built with the standard block limit and some have modified their client to bypass this limit.
While we have no issues with players modding the game at this stage, as the limit is mostly there as a safeguard to prevent odd behaviour, poor performance and in extreme cases even crashing. We know a lot of machines can handle all these extra parts and physics calculations so those of you who are doing this are likely aware of the impact.
We’re also aware that this may feel unfair to those of you who are keeping within the intended limits and restricts your creativity, which is something we never intended. So, for the rest of Experiment 03 we’re going to increase the count of all parts to 999! Giving everyone tonnes more freedom and a fairer chance build truly outstanding things.
Please be aware that this will only last for another experiment or two, while we work on getting accounts, player progression, save/load and inventory fully implemented. When these are all in place, players will be given their starting account with a base inventory and the means to earn more parts though a free, in-game progression system and these values should no longer be modifiable.
Please also note that this may lead to more issues being uncovered and bigger performance hits while we continue to optimise and smooth things out over time.
Bug fixes
- The ‘ClearAllParts’ console command will no longer forget that the lever handle is actually part of the lever, leading to issues with simulation not resetting correctly.
- Fixed an issue preventing Glass reflection from working as intended
- Fixed a visual issue with the normal mapping of Infinitum cubes
- Users that were getting stuck on the initial loading screen should now be able to play again
Thanks for your continued support. Don’t forget to leave us a review on Steam! We want honest opinions and constructive feedback to help us push this game in the right direction.
