A Pre-Release build for BETA 5.1 is now available on the test branch. BETA 5.1 extends some features we laid the ground work for in BETA 5 but missed the release along with some long awaited quality of life additions and several fixes for bugs found by the community in BETA 5.
Changes
5.1 Adds the ability for projectiles to hit shields along with an improved line of sight check that prevents splash from explosions magically penetrating tiles or shields.
For BETA 5.1 we have also listened to much community feedback regarding zoom. Along with adding key binds for zoom in/out and a slider to control zoom speed we have introduced a "quick zoom" feature. Quick zoom lets you easily zoom in to inspect or access components etc then return to your previous zoom with a press of a button.
We would like to also thank those who have reported several bugs from BETA 5 and have included fixes to several of those in this release.
If you would like to check out this pre-release build all the usual things apply, it will have problems (some of which we know about) and it may break your universe. Let us know your thoughts via the forums or on our discord
