People Playground

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and good night everyone!

The incident

I am not completely done with my confusing, disorganised, haphazardly assembled task list, but I've gotten far enough that I can finally reopen the Workshop without having anything to worry about. Please enjoy and I am genuinely sorry for having it closed for so long.

I'm going to be paying close attention to the Workshop with my eyeballs. You might notice some changes in how the game works, and especially in how it deals with mods. First of all, mods no longer auto-update. They need to be manually approved if their contents have changed. This might cause some issues with mods that edit their contents during runtime. They have to be approved every time you load the game. This is something I have to address in collaboration with modders. This should be resolved at some point. The vast majority of mods work fine.

Extra special thanks to mishanya, who has guided me and helped me directly with the mod loader throughout all of this.

What have we learnt from this?

• I have to pay more attention

• Wow, I sure need more moderators

• I can't do this on my own

• I should've listened

• Please be careful on the Steam Workshop

Updates

The game has updated to 1.27.7, which provides important changes and improvements which are probably not all that exciting to most of you.

[1.27.7] - February 6 2026

Added

• Added Stack<>, Queue<>, and others to mod import list

Changed

• Trust cache now takes mod content hash into account

• Mods no longer auto-update. They need to be manually approved if their contents have changed.

[1.27.6] - February 4 2026

Added

• Various new security measures for mods

• Upgraded mod C# version to C# 9

• Included AssetBundles, PostProcessing, and Ceras in the mod assembly list

• BeforeSpawn. This function is called right after the object is instantiated.

Changed

• Renamed PerformMod to PerformAfterSpawn.

• AfterSpawn can be null if BeforeSpawn is not, and vice versa

Thank you for reading.

Hi everyone!

Please update your game. Whether you are on the default, beta, or alpha branch, ensure your game is updated to the latest version. You can do this by [url="https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0C48-FCBD-DA71-93EB" buttoncolor="#b637fb"]verifying game files. Keep your game updated as I publish more improvement constantly.

After some talking and reading, I can say with decent certainty that the mod spread by uploading itself onto the Steam Workshop by overwriting your own uploads. It also reset your preferences, deleted contraptions, and reset your achievements. It seems to have had no other effects or means of spreading.

I've been publishing patches that prevent this mod (and mods like it) from being loaded. If you are on the latest version of the game, it's safe to open (even with mods).

As for the Workshop, unless Steam responds to me soon, I still can't provide an estimate on when it'll be reopened. However, once a large enough percentage of you have updated the game, I can open the Workshop anyway, but modders will have to manually rollback their uploads. Still, this should be postponed for as long as possible in case Steam is able to mass-rollback the Workshop.

I expect a few hour-after patches lmao

I need to remind myself to never make updates large and infrequent. It's a lot better for everyone involved to make them more frequent and not as large. Ideally focused on a theme or single feature implementation.

... is what I said after 1.26 after which I decided to create the most elaborate map so far. I can't promise anything, but I'll try harder to make updates a little smaller and more frequent. I hope. Thank you for your patience (if you had any).

Preview 1.27 is now live on the preview branch. Please report any bugs here and follow the instructions carefully.

Note that this build does not include the activation rewrite.

This is a preview branch. It is a work-in-progress. Do not play on this version of the game unless you are accepting of potential bugs, lag, and possibly permanently corrupting your save data.

Hello everyone. Sorry if you expected a fantastic content-filled update today, this is just a list of every update since 1.26 because I noticed not everyone was aware that the game is always being updated, whether it shows up on Steam News or not.

If you want to stay up to date (for real) then you're better off joining the Discord server or reading the blog. Steam News is cool and everything but it exists in a weird limbo between the immediate interactivity of Discord and the complete lack of it on the blog. There is information on there that isn't available anywhere else.

Changed

Note for Windows 7 users

Your operating system is obsolete. But if you want to keep using it anyway, you will probably need a little update: KB3063858 for 64 bit (probably what you need) KB3063858 for 32 bit (if your computer is older than you)

1.23.6 - April 3 2022

• Some more bone breaking sounds

• "Slowly heal injuries" is now toggleable

• "Open in Workshop" button, if applicable

• Thumbnail size warning on Workshop upload

• "Ambience Highpass" setting. It allows the player to set a highpass cutoff frequency for the ambient noise. This is useful if you suffer from crackling audio issues.

• Destructible machinery can now be made indestructible using the context menu

• Flamethrower flames and fire extinguisher... puffs (??) now collide with objects, they have no effect on things behind walls

• Contraptions that depend on mods will now have a list of required mods added to the description. There is no way for me to automatically add required items to the Steam upload. You need to do this yourself.

• For modders: LiquidMixingController. Visit the modding wiki for more information.

• For modders: the SkipSerialisationAttribute can now be applied to a class as well. This will exclude the entire component from the serialisation process.

• For modders: A Map object now has InstantiateOverride. This is an Action that, if not null, will be called on map load instead of instantiating the Prefab. The proper container is provided as a parameter.

Changed

• "Biohazard" category is now "Chemistry" (FindCategory treats them as the same)

• Made metronome more consistent

• Renamed "Wheel" to "Wooden Wheel"

• Minor changes to metal hit effect

• Absolutely terrible oversight in the serialisation and deserialisation of wires. Wires should no longer turn pink / disappear after paste or load. This should also fix a whole bunch of other problems to do with the serialisation of specific objects.

• An awful design flaw to do with continuous activation signals. This should not introduce any unexpected behaviour unless you expect something to be broken.

It should also reduce (pretty much eliminate) activation signal limit warnings.

Removed

• Removed liquid pressuriser sound

• Removed rotor sound

• Expanded gore is gone

Help me my cool tank is corrupt

Specific items from 1.22 are no longer compatible with 1.23. These items are:

• 120mm cannon
• 30mm cannon

If your 1.22 save has any of these items, it will no longer work in 1.23. To recover these, just load them in 1.22 and remove the cannons. Save the contraption in 1.22 and load it up in 1.23. Then you can just add the cannons again.

Preview 1.23 is now live on the preview branch. Please report any bugs here and follow the instructions carefully.

This is a preview branch. Do not play on this version of the game unless you are accepting of potential bugs, lag, and possibly permanently corrupting your save data.

1.23 - ?? be patient please

Why are you updating so slowly?

Because I am working on too many things at the same time. However, these past days have been fully focused on People Playground and I've made a lot of progress. More is coming.
