Dear Stormworkers,
Today we release the Physics Sensor Minor Update! This includes the new physics sensor, which is a new component giving composite logical output including positional and rotational information.
This data output is particularly useful for microcontroller designers who are interested in building their own gyros and other motion control systems, which should now be much easier and practical.
This component is in response to player requests on the issue tracker and we continue to enjoy hearing your thoughts and ideas and implementing them when possible!
As well as this new component feature, we have several useful fixes and improvements! Please see the patch notes below for full details.
Much love <3,
The Stormworks Developers
Patch Notes
v1.6.14
Feature - Physics Sensor (#10065 #10119 #3793 #4465)
The physics sensor component combines functionality of several other sensors into a convenient single block.
The sensor outputs position, rotation, linear and angular speeds over 14 composite channels detailed on the component.
