I bet you didn't see this one coming! This patch brings in an entire new game mode, Sandbox! Sandbox mode is the ultimate goof-off mode, allowing the player to do all sorts of fun things, like spawn in monsters, resources, essence, play with particles, auto-build structures, the works! Have fun breaking the game mechanics!
Let me know what you think of Sandbox mode down in the comments. :)
Also, don't forget to check out the Screenshot Roundup event for InDev 19! I want to post your best screenshots on the official Steam store page!

InDev 19c Change Log
Sandbox Mode
A new game mode that allows you to play around with the game mechanics. This mode adds tons of new tabs to the game, offering a whole mess of mechanics you can screw around with.
- Access to all the map editor tools while playing.
- Spawn in resources, villagers and monsters.
- Play with the particle engine.
- Create essence at will.
- Turn on and off the weather.
- Change the season, time of day, and day.
- Mess around with the spawn rates.
- Cast spells for free.
- Place fully constructed buildings anywhere you want, or delete buildings entirely.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a crash when you tried to use the Tower Range data view with a tower near the edge of the map.
- Fixed a crash if you tried to use the hole or patch tool with a hotkey in the map editor.
- Fixed a rare game loading crash if a builder is en route to repair a building, the building is destroyed before the villager arrives, and the game saves.
- Fixed a "Floating resource on head" bug that could eventually lead to a corrupted save file, caused by farmers trying to plant food in farms that were paused, being dismantled or destroyed.
- Fixed spelling of "Arid River" in the world map.
Interface Changes
- Updated the spotlight spell icon.
- Changed the brush size buttons to round icons.
- Changed the game mode select buttons in the world map to round icons.
- Removed the disabled recycle mode buttons from the Skirmish GUI.
- The left and right tabs are no longer locked before the village center is placed and built.
Miscellaneous Changes
- Starting limbo villagers for Peaceful is now 64.
- Optimized the sprite generation system for mobs, lowering memory usage.
- Reduced the amount of particles generated by essence.
- Removed an old loading message about heroes.
- Lowered the memory usage of the brush tools slightly.
- Reduced the size of the terrain files.
- Reduced monster spawn rates by roughly 10%.
- Banish can no longer banish monsters to a location on the village range map or a tile with any topography (Water, tar, etc).
- Banish now teleports each monster in range to a random location rather than the same place.
- Whole bunch of small memory optimization and tweaks.
