Hello Everyone!

We hope you all had a good holiday season.
Today we’ve got a new update for you, featuring a host of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements for the game, including a huge decrease in simulation start times for surface blocks!
A full list can be found in the changelog below.

Thank you to everyone from the Discord community who’s pitched in and playtested this update over the holiday period! Your help has enabled us to cram in more bug fixes and get the update released quicker than expected.

We’d also like to thank everyone who’s contributed to the new suggestions section on Discord. There’ve been some great discussions surrounding people’s ideas and it’s given us lots of inspiration for the future. Click below to join the Discord and add your suggestions too!

**Regional Pricing:**

Valve recommends that developers update their regional prices regularly, which we have not done since the 1.0 release. We wanted to give some advanced warning before we do, as pricing in most regions (Asia, Canada, Europe, Mexico & South America) is likely to increase.

To give everyone a chance to get the game at a discounted price before this happens, Besiege will be going on sale from the 29th of January to the 5th of February, after which the pricing update will take place.

That’s all for now and we hope you enjoy this latest installment of Besiege!

Cheers everyone,
Von

Changelog V1.26 - 20554

Changes:
- Edge detector logic gate
- Automation blocks now don't have a broken framerate bound escape that would make automation respond differently depending on framerate.
- Wheels now use a single slightly more round collider, resulting in better performance and roll
  - old saves will use the original configuration of wheels
- Wheels now have a new implementation of acceleration that also affects deacceleration and doesn't jump suddenly to infinite power
- Grabber now has a button for attach and detach when not auto grabbing, if the button is the same on both it works like before
- Grabber now uses a more reliable grab phase
- Steering hinges and steering blocks now have a tension slider making it possible for them to be more or less wobbly than default
- Surface block texture tiling by world size
- Surface block flip texture on F
- Surface block rotate texture on R (with no ghost visible)
- Vacuum block now using a much more reliable and performant cone of effect
- Vacuum radius now increases with distance, and reference cone point offsetting slightly
- updated camera targeting (lerp update)
- Save menu now returns back to the last folder you accessed a file in
- Added xml options to skin packs (only 1 implemented atm)
