This update introduces the first vehicle to Mechanica; the Speeder. It is a single-person hovering vehicle which can be fitted with either an electric motor or a combustion engine. More vehicles will be coming in the future, likely with or following the multiplayer update.
Additions
- Added 'Speeder' vehicle.
- Added Speeder Electric Motor.
- Added Speeder Combustion Engine.
- Add stack splitting. Right click and drag a stack to split it in half. Moving a stack instantly from/to the hotbar is now bound to 'shift + left click' to accomodate for this change.
- Added 'On power lost' and 'On power restored' events to all powered objects.
- Added 'On fuel depleted' and 'On fuel restored' events to all fuelled objects.
- Added decorative small rocks to the map.
- Added 'exclusive fullscreen' and 'windowed borderless' fullscreen modes.
- Added physics interpolation. Physically simulated objects will now appear a bit smoother when in motion.
Tweaks
- Adjusted lighting. Night time is now slightly darker.
- Inventory now vertically resizes to minimize any blank space.
- Increased damage flash intensity.
- Adjusted the geometry of brown rocks to remove weird visual artifacts.
