Preview 1.24 is now live on the preview branch.
[Please report any bugs here](https://github.com/studio-minus/ppg-bugs-and-requests/issues) 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.

##### Added

- Liquid canister. This is a high capacity container that is vulnerable to bullets and has a variable buoyancy.

- Painkiller syringe

- Humans will pass out when they experience too much g-force

- Boat motor reverses on red signal

- For modders: support for transparent liquids

- For modders: Liquid.GetDisplayName()

- For modders: BloodContainer.ForceCalculateComputedColor

##### Changed

- Completely rewrote body shader (this may make humans from older contraptions look weird)

- Blunt damage causes bruising (new look)

- Bullets make bullet holes

- Stabbing makes stab wounds

- Touching hot objects & friction causes burn wounds

- You can switch back to the legacy shaders in the general settings menu

- **Important for modders**: wound intensity is now inverted (normal). The higher the Z component, the more intense the wound.

- Bullet impacts on bodies of water are more intense

- Stopping time has a shorter transition

- Androids are more durable

- Minor rendering optimisations

- Other minor optimisations

- Changed bullet hardness & damage distance calculations

- Limbs don't drain their liquid as fast when bone is exposed

- Humans don't panic as easily when shot

- Humans wince more when shot

- Humans and gorses regenerate blood slowly, if they're alive

- Bullets have 50% more impact force

- Tritium glows when seen in transparent containers

- Made punctured lungs more dangerous

- Increased g-force resilience

- Decreased human drown time

- Boiling bodies of water have no buoyancy

- Changing weather settings like rain, snow, and fog will now happen smoothly instead of abruptly.

- G-force damage no longer occurs when the organism was frozen

- Improved distant large explosion sound

- Changed AK-47 sfx

- Changed AR sfx

- Changed Submachine gun sfx

- Changed Shotgun sfx

- Changed Sniper sfx

- Swapped old Rifle sfx for sniper SFX

- Improved Gorse collision

- Increased explosion shrapnel lethality

- Made Ultra Strength Serum more potent

- Decreased bleeding particles intensity

- Minor tweaks to entity body temperature maths

- Increased body bullet impact sound volume

- Gave liquids nicer names

- Made human pain animation a little less rigid

- Organisms rot slower

- Increased minimum impact damage threshold for limbs

- Heat capacity is now calculated using object mass in addition to size & material properties

- Lowered object to air heat dissipation

##### Fixed

- Android circuit layer transparency

- Improved limb liquid circulation

- Fireworks detail view radius visible for too long

- Concrete debris suddenly disappearing

- Made rescaled living entities a little more stable.

- Boat motor saving issues

- Slider disintegration issues

- Unnecessary memory usage

- Electrocution issues

- Workshop upload dialog box being weirdly sized

- Fluorescent bulb glow overlay appearing in front of everything

- Issues :(

- Detectors emitting signals even when broken

- Human flesh layer not covering all bones

##### Removed

- Removed coagulation concentration calculation
