First of all, THANK YOU to everyone who has left a Steam review so far! ❤️ It's one of the best and most impactful ways you can support me and the game.
Also a huge thank you to all the modders who have managed to make all these cool things without me even publishing a proper API documentation yet: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2764460/workshop/
For anyone wanting to try mods and help test the modding framework, remember that you need to be on the "mods" branch in order to load subscribed mods. NOTE: This branch is unstable and not up to date yet, so do not use it if you only want to play vanilla.
Changelog
v0.5.5 -- Update #2
Added significantly more logging to help diagnose and debug crashes.
Logs can be found at the following locations:
Windows: \\Users\\\\AppData\\Roaming\\sandustry\\logs\\main.log
Mac: /Users//Library/Logs/sandustry/main.log
Linux: /home//.config/sandustry/logs/main.log
Also added optional Crashpad diagnostics. Since crash dumps may contain sensitive info, I will reach out to people experiencing crashes and tell them how to enable it if you want to help me debug the issues.
Instruction videos are now animated images instead of video files, fixing GPU crashes and OBS capture hook loss when hovering previews. Expect slightly reduced quality and a somewhat larger install size.
You can now use Alt+Enter to toggle between fullscreen and windowed mode. The game also remembers which monitor you last played on.
Added a workaround for the right mouse button getting stuck on macOS (e.g. the Vacuum spraying forever). The proper fix for this is still pending.
You can no longer accidentally softlock yourself by using the radial menu in the tutorial.
Improved Aura Extractor controls with clearer hover guidance and swarm targeting indicators.
