AIMCONE REDUCTION Any movement in rust would modify your baseline Aimcone so that shots taken while in motion were somewhat inaccurate. This was supposed to discourage "running and gunning". The problem with this is that *any* kind of motion while in a firefight puts you at a disadvantage (minor dodging) and increases the amount of RNG experienced by the player. What I've done is reduced this penalty to zero to start, and blend it up to the full amount after 4 rapid fire shots. This means is you can now strafe and dodge while tap firing and not experience a huge aiming penalty, however full auto will be penalized. I've also adjusted the Aimcone curve modifiers for a few weapons so that more shots have a higher probability of landing closer to the center. This has been applied to the Custom SMG, SAP and LR300. WEAPON + ATTACHMENT UPDATES Weapon mods have received some love this month. BURST MODThe duration between bursts while using the burst mod has been significantly reduced to 2x firerate instead of 3x firerate. HOLOSIGHTThe holosight mesh has had its edges thinned so that less of your vision is obscured while using it. This is a stopgap until we produce a new model for it. I've also fixed the Holosight reticle being affected by motion blur. MUZZLE BRAKE & BOOSTBoth the muzzle brake and muzzle boost have had their negatives reduced, they now have less damage reduction and less damage falloff and should prove to be far more useful. LR300 TWEAKSIn addition, I've made some changes to the recoil, damage fall off, bullet velocity, and burst mode of the LR300. This should now be the best in class AR. Everything subject to change. SAFEZONE RECYCLERS Starting today, Recyclers in safezones have been nerfed. Their cycle time has been increased to 8 seconds and they now yield 80% of what they used to. This is the price you now must pay for safety. However, the recyclers found at monuments have the same cycle time as before but now yield 120%! This is to reward players taking the risk out in the open. While I am aware that a great many keyboards may be smashed as the death screen fades in over the droning hum of the active recycler, I still have hope this helps usher in a new era of roaming and monument combat. SALE SALE SALE! Some great items were not used because they were way too expensive. To that end I've made the following changes: HV Ammo - Gunpowder cost reduced significantly, and the yield per craft increased to match non HV ammo. Torpedos - Craft yield increased from 3 to 5. Incendiary Rockets - The cost has been drastically reduced and their damage + flame spread increased. Drones - Tech trash is no longer a requirement for drones. HMLMG - Gear cost has been reduced. EXTERNAL STRUCTURE CHANGES Large External Gates and Walls now require the player to stand still for 1.5 seconds when placing, making them less useful for immediate PvP encounters in the wild. We felt that being able to place down such large structures in a short amount of time felt at odds with our style of combat that rewards situational awareness and environmental tactics. WOODEN BARRICADE RESIZE To fill the void left by the external wall changes regarding dynamic cover during PvP, we have doubled the size of the deployable wooden barricade. The wooden barricade remains instantly deployable and provides a moderate amount of cover on-demand without being overpowered or polluting the landscape with large, unsightly deployable. This is without a doubt a large shift to PvP, we'll be monitoring these changes carefully BRADLEY CHANGES Some further tweaks to the Bradley this month. Scientists now spawn in stages, based on the Bradley's health, and there's some Heavy scientists thrown in the mix now, too. At 80% health, 2 scientists will spawn At 60% health, 4 more will spawn At 40% health, 6 final scientists will spawn There's also been some tweaks to make some of the Scientists more aggressive and use varying attack angles. DOOR CONTROLLER You can now use door controllers without worrying about raiders abusing them to open your doors! This is accomplished by unpairing door controllers once your TC is destroyed & requiring code lock authorization for pairing. They also are much easier to setup as they can now be placed just like code locks. This should reduce the pain of constantly opening and closing the doors of your base... especially when your teammates tend to leave them open. Now deployable on doors like code locks Automatically paired when placed Added 2 new side inputs : 'Open' and 'Close' Unpaired when the associated tool cupboard is destroyedWe also carried on improving electricity by adjusting components and fixing various bugs this month. Thanks again to the community for reporting bugs and suggesting ideas. The full change log of each component can be read in the section at the bottom of the blog. PATROL HELICOPTER CHANGES We know the latest helicopter changes had some mixed feedback, so we've revised them. No go zones should feel a lot more fair, and most major bugs experienced with heli since the last update are now patched. Monument Crashing - the helicopter will now attempt to crash at a nearby monument on death. It won't crash at monuments with safe zones: outpost, fishing village, etc. This can be disabled by server owners via: patrolhelicopterai.monument_crashing Flee Behavior - heli would previously flee when it sometimes didn't mean to. Damage to start a flee has been tweaked, ensuring a flee every time you quickly remove 30% of its overall HP. Numerous Fixes & Improvements - heli will now properly target you on boats, cargo, trains and other moving entities. Targeting fixes and performance improvements have been made throughout the code. More legacy bugs: such as heli not exploding immediately on impact with certain terrain are also fixed. LAUNCH SITE LOOT The Launch site loot had received an overhaul. Before, the loot inside the main building shared the same respawn group as the rest of the launch site, meaning loot inside the main building was never guaranteed. Loot had a chance to spawn elsewhere at the monument, which felt discouraging when completing the puzzle and running the main building. The main site building now has a dedicated respawn group, which guarantees 23 loot crates when the puzzle resets. Additionally, more loot now spawns throughout the monument. UNDERWATER IMPROVEMENTS Underwater vision has been improved substantially. You can now see much farther when using goggles and even more so when viewing out a submarine porthole. In addition, the surface accuracy of submarine torpedoes has been vastly improved and torpedoes were made cheaper to produce by way of an increased craft yield. Lastly, the duo submarine fires torpedoes slightly faster than the solo. BUILDING QOL Tool Cupboard Auth FriendCan authorize other players on a tool cupbard Demolish High WallsCan demolish high walls & gates for 10min after placement Fixed High Wall SnappingHold SHIFT to disable snapping Foundation PlacementFixed foundation placement under roofs & floors Foundation DebrisFoundations now drop debris Floor DebrisFloors now drop debris TECH TREE CHANGES We’re making some changes to how the Tech Tree works to try and incentivise new styles of play. Starting this month you will notice that the T2 and T3 workbench tech trees now have a tax rate applied to them which will increase the cost of unlocking items. We’re starting this at 10% for T2 and 20% for T3. This cost increase only applies to unlocking via the Tech Tree, researching items via the Research Table is unchanged. Our thinking behind this is that we feel the Tech Tree progression path has become a little stale and needs to be shaken up, but we don’t want to lose the advantages that the Tech Tree brought to progression - making difficult to find blueprints attainable in a way that felt fair and not as at the mercy of RNG. While there are a number of avenues we can use to try and make both forms of progression feel more balanced this feels like a simple and understandable starting point. As with all of our changes we’ll be closing a close eye on this and will likely make further changes in the future. CARGO SHIP CHANGES It’s been great to see the reception to last month's Cargo Ship/harbor update, we hope you’ve all enjoyed some very (very) intense firefights. Based on the feedback we received we’re making a couple of changes this month: The Cargo Ship will now dock at both harbors (if they exist) on a map before leaving. Note that any containers that have already been placed on a ship will be deleted when it starts its approach to the next harbor. You can now mouse over the ship on the map to see if it has already docked. The containers that are spawned to be placed on the Cargo Ship will now be spawned when it starts its approach (about 100m away from the harbor) rather than when the ship arrives at its dock, giving you more time to hide in the containers. The container spawn points have been mildly tweaked so that all of the containers should be accessible, although you might need to do some climbing.We hope these changes make the event a bit more understandable at a glance as well as make the combat encounters more interesting. VIEWMODEL RENDERERS Since implementing a dedicated viewmodel renderer system back in April 2021, all of our viewmodels have been split between the old and new system. The primary stumbling blocks were viewmodels with lots of particle effects and lights (torches, flamethrowers, etc). While we covered most of the high impact cases of viewmodel jittering by supporting guns (how often do you use the birthday cake on oil rig?) we’ve been wanting to consolidate everything for a while. This month we’ve updated all of the viewmodels to use the new renderer so they should appear smooth and jitter free regardless of where you are in the world. The affected viewmodels: Both flamethrowers Water Bucket Beancan Grenade Molotov Cocktail Flashlight Birthday Cake Garry’s Mod Toolgun Poker playing cards Lunar New Year spear Minigun PaddleYou should see no visible changes if it's all working correctly. AI PERFORMANCE FIXES I've investigated and addressed a couple of AI performance issues that were causing the AI to take longer to process than necessary, especially on servers that have been running for a while. This should help with AI server performance across the board. EFFECTS PERFORMANCE After noticing occasional framedrops during gunfights, I've spent some time investigating the issue and found out that our impact effects prefab warmup wasn't working as intended. All impact effects are now warmed up correctly during loading times. This should drastically reduce the stuttering when spawning a big amount of effects prefab for the first time (e.g when a fight starts and bullets start flying). This has a very little if no impact on loading times. MAP UPLOADING Procedural maps are now automatically uploaded from game servers to our backend so players can just download them instead of generating them when they first join the server. This should significantly reduce the time it takes to join a server for the first time after it wipes. It may also reduce the number of players seeing "Rust is not responding" popups while joining servers for the first time. HARMONY 2 Harmony is Rust's built-in modding platform shipped with the server. It powers modding frameworks like Oxide & Carbon, as well as standalone mods. We upgraded from Harmony 1.2 -> Harmony 2.3 which brings us up to date with the latest features & additional stability. This requires mod authors to recompile their Harmony mods. Fortunately the majority of mods only need to change a single line. Before using Harmony; After using HarmonyLib; Players shouldn't need to worry as the majority of large servers already started updating their mods before the update went live. Server owners please keep an eye out for mod updates as every Harmony Mod will needed to be updated. ELECTRICITY CHANGELOG Tesla Coil, Igniter To stop them from self-destructing, they are now disabled upon reaching No longer take damage when picked up Electrical Branch Reduced minimum branch out power from 2 to 1 Button Reduced press time from 5s to 1s Storage Monitor Will now recognize partial stack changes and pass power through when removing or adding a items to a stack Splitter Fixed power distribution issue when not all outputs were used Memory Cell Fixed side inputs triggerable by 0 power circuits Timer Switch Fixed an issue where its side input was triggered inconsistently by circuits update (e.g: industrial conveyor updating its state) Counter When set to 'Show Passthrough', it now displays its passthrough even if nothing is connected to its output No longer requires a connection to its output to display its passthrough when set to 'Show Passthrough' RF Receiver Updated recipe: - Metal Fragments 100 → 150 - Tech Trash 1 → 0 RF Broadcaster Updated recipe: - Metal Fragments 100 → 150 - Tech Trash 1 → 0 RF Transmitter Updated recipe: - HQM 5 → Metal Fragments 100 - Tech Trash 1 → 0 RF Pager Updated recipe: - Metal Fragments 50 → 100 - Tech Trash 1 → 0 AND, OR, XOR Switch No longer emit light when unpowered Industrial Conveyor Can be placed upside down again Industrial Light No longer referred as Simple Light when looking at IO connection handles Smart Switch No longer referred as Switch when looking at IO connection handlesVezi articolul complet

The North American TF2 Competitive offseason is kicking off with a bang! Fireside is hosting the Fireside Cup, a $600 (with potential to increase via fundraising), two week cup featuring the best North American sixes players in the region. Not to mention, some of the best teams like Like A G6 will be participating! There is one kicker to this cup though: apart from the traditional sixes composition of two scouts, two soldiers, one demoman, and one medic, only one off-class can be on the field at any time. This will force teams to put a little more creativity into how they approach any given scenario throughout the game. Gone are the days of the Engineer reinforced Heavy / Pyro / Sniper last hold! The first week will be a best of two group stage, and the next week will follow with a best of 3 playoffs to decide the winner of the cup. The cup will take place on the weekdays between May 13 - May 23 and will be broadcasted by Fireside and EssentialsTF. Come tune in and watch the best of North America duke it out.

Waves Of Change So many changes! We've updated Harbor/Cargo, Oilrig, Bradley, Electricity, & Patrol Heli. Adding our first Retro TC Skin & a minigun, plus much more! 04 April 2024 DEVBLOG .blog .news-section-block.sectionstyle-hero .content { background-color: inherit; padding: 2rem; } div.blog .section { padding: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem; max-width: 800px; margin: auto; } .blog-hero { background-color: inherit; padding: calc(8rem + 100px) 0 8rem 0; position: relative; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; flex-direction: column; min-height: 50vh; } .change-blog-container { background-color: inherit; width: 100%; } h1,h2,h3,h4,h5 { font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: inherit; } .body-info h1,.body-info h2,.body-info h3,.body-info h4,.body-info h5 { font-family: "Bebas Neue", sans-serif; font-weight: 500; color: #e4dad1; } .sectionstyle-hero { min-height: 0; } ⠀ Cargo SHIP Docking We’ve given both Harbors a fresh coat of paint this month, with a significant amount of visual and gameplay changes. These changes support the new Cargo Ship docking process, which allows the ship to adjust it's course and dock with the harbor. Each harbor has a new island that can be reached by crossing a rotating bridge, floating containers or a daring set of jumps across cranes. This island becomes a stronghold once the Cargo Ship docks as it becomes sheltered from the rest of the harbor. The ship will pick the first harbor it passes to dock and will only dock once. Once docked, the cranes in the Harbor will spring into life and move several containers from the docks onto the deck of the ship. These containers have openable doors and can be hidden in, so they present a new way to smuggle aboard the ship and another threat for players already on the ship to contend with. These containers will be deposited in locations that are generally above the deck, in some cases by several meters. This should present an interesting tactical situation when attacking the ship as well as defending it. We’ve also added two ship doors above the water line that allow access to the lower interior level of the ship and provide additional ways to board or traverse the monument while the ship is docked. By default, the Cargo Ship replenishes it's loot every 10 minutes - up to 3 times. When the ship docks at the harbor, it will attempt to trigger one of those loot refreshes - although if all three have already happened, it will be unable to spawn any more loot. The Cargo Ship horn will sound 60 seconds prior to it's departure - once you hear that horn it's time to get moving or you might end up back out at sea. We think these changes combined will lead to Cargo Ship being a much more contested PvP environment for groups of all sizes. We're also interested to see how a traditionally lower intensity monument like the Harbors adjust to periodic bouts of high intensity action. Oilrigs The Oilrigs receive an upgrade this month, with an underwater access. This new way to get onto the Oilrig will add a path into both structures Level 3 floors. This provides a different, and possibly safer way into the monument. It is also a way to counter the players on board by short circuiting the docks at the rig's water line. The extra rooms inside see the addition of a CCTV desk that allows you to observe camera feeds of the monument. Minigun The iconic minigun has been added to the game which is used by the Heavy Scientists. It takes a moment to spin up, but when it does, it unleashes a massive amount of ammunition, making targets much easier to hit. It's a rare drop useable by players and you must be at a workbench level 2 to add ammunition to it as it cannot be reloaded in the field. It also takes 1.5 seconds to spin up and lowers your movement speed while the spin is engaged. Retro Tool Cupboard We're thrilled to announce Rust's first-ever tool cupboard DLC skin! The Retro Tool Cupboard can be crafted as usual using the skin picker or applied to an existing Tool Cupboard using the Spray Can item. The Retro Tool Cupboard monitors display live information such as upkeep time, resources, and the number of blocks used to calculate upkeep costs. However, the data is only visible on the monitors when authorized. The Retro Tool Cupboard doesn't require power, the lower half of the Retro Tool Cupboard behind the glass panel displays current inventory upkeep amounts and tools. When approaching the Retro Tool Cupboard design, we felt aesthetics were critical. The tool cupboard is the heart of any base and should be instantly recognizable. You can purchase Retro Tool Cupboard skin in-game or at Steam's item store . Military Flamethrower In addition to the minigun, the Heavy Scientists have had their arsenal upgraded with a new, military tier flamethrower. This weapon deals massive damage to targets up to 12 meters away and creates walls of fire - which can be used for area denial. I've also modified how flamethrowers deal damage to players making them an extremely effective PvP weapon. Patrol Helicopter Improvements The patrol helicopter was one of the largest banks of 'older' code still in the game. It's stood up well, but there were a bunch of fixes and improvements that needed to happen. Let's start with the improvements. Orbital Strafing/Strafing Changes The regular helicopter attack strafe was getting pretty old. It followed a regular pattern and most of our values were fixed internally. This has been changed. During an attack run the helicopter will randomise a bunch of values, including: rocket amount, drop off distance, turn speed etc. These are relatively minor adjustments, but they should help make each new fight with the helicopter feel a little more fresh. We also added a new attack phase in the strafing run. The helicopter will turn, begin orbiting your position and pummel you with rockets from all directions. This will randomly happen after each strafe. It's super fun to play, and helps bring back the excitement and danger of taking heli. Aggro Improvements A new 'zones' feature has been introduced. These are invisible to the player. When a player damages heli a zone is updated/created and the zone is assigned a score. This score is based on how much damage heli has taken from that specific zone. Heli will now seek out targets based on zones and damage scores rather than the perceived randomness of before. When there are minimal players and by extension - minimal zones. Heli will work similarly to before, but when more zones are introduced heli will prioritise attacking the people that are attacking it, in a more controlled and deliberate manner. You are still free pickings to the side gunners, but your house shouldn't be blasted anymore in the confusion. No-Go Zones When taking heli, the basic principle is to get, and keep aggro. No-Go zones make this a little more difficult, and now encourage some movement when taking heli. When a zone performs enough damage to heli too quickly, then that zone is marked as a no-go zone. Heli will flee the area, and attempt to avoid it as best as it can. This is to encourage heli to get out of areas that are going to kill it too quickly. Encouraging bigger groups to chase, build defenses as they go and bring more PVP to the whole map. Bug Fixes/Changes A bunch of legacy bugs that existed with heli are now patched. These include being stuck on targets, disappearing mid-fight, not exploding in the ocean, as well as a bunch of proxy issues that were fixed by the aggro adjustments. Other adjustments have also been made to how heli patrols work, and you should see it moving around a bit more now, rather than just sticking to the monuments. Server Convars patrolhelicopterai.use_danger_zones - this will enable/disable the no go and aggro zones. When turned off, the helicopter will largely behave the way it used to (regarding target picking and aggression). patrolhelicopterai.flee_damage_percentage - this sets the required percentage of damage done to heli in order for it to flee, and create a no-go zone. A value of 1 or over will effectively disable no go zones and stop the flee mechanic. It will no doubt need some further revisions and changes after this release. Keep us updated on how your heli takes go. Have fun! Electricity This month, we are taking care of our fellow electricians! Bug fixes, quality of life improvements, and major changes are coming to electricity. CHANGES First of all, we removed any power requirements from all logic gates. Being creative and adding logic to your circuits won't be at the expense of acquiring a linear or exponential amount of power anymore. While being a great quality of life for master electricians, we also believe that removing this pain point will encourage wider use of electricity. Therefore, the following components won't require power or drain batteries anymore: Splitter Electrical Branch Blocker Root Combiner Memory Cell RAND Switch XOR Switch AND Switch OR Switch Timer Switch Smart Switch Counter Pressure Pad Button Any other active components like turrets, sensors, lights, etc. remain unchanged and will still need power to function. BUG FIXES These power limitations were also overly amplified by a multitude of power drain bugs and unintended behaviors that we worked on fixing. Here are the most important ones: Prevent Electrical Branch from draining power when nothing is connected to its 'Branch Out' output Fixed OR Switch adding Active Usage to both power sources instead of the one with the highest power Fixed unpowered components draining power Fixed auxiliary inputs/outputs draining power unnecessarily Quality of life Along these changes, we worked on improving how you deploy electrical components: Fixed the differences between the deploy guide and the actual position where your component is placed Components are now aligned to walls and won't rotate based on your view angle You can now align your components together when deploying them on walls by holding left shift This applies to all electricity, industrial and fluid items. We're planning on extending it to any type of deployable in the future. NEXT STEPS There are more fixes and improvements that didn't make it into this patch. Expect more in the coming months, including plans to rework some components and extending their functionalities. Many thanks to our electricians in the community for pointing out bugs and suggesting ideas. The full change log of each component can be read in the section at the bottom of the blog . Anti-cheat Update At the beginning of the year, in the development blog Surviving a Decade, I mentioned, "This year we're dedicating more resources into anti-cheat than ever", this is a commitment we're dedicated to, and I want to share more information about what we've been up too. Over the past couple of months, we have slowly eliminated or limited information leaks which cheaters abuse to aid them in several ways. For example, players health, Tool Cupboards and turret authorization lists could be read in the network data, allowing cheaters to use and gain a further unfair advantage. These are now fixed. In continuing efforts to battle cheaters and clean up many long-standing issues, especially around information leaks, buried stashes are no longer networked, meaning cheaters will no longer know where stashes are buried. There is much more to be done in this area, and we are working on it. Expanding the support team size over the past year has allowed us to get more support staff focusing on anti-cheat, which includes going in-game and dealing with and disrupting cheaters directly based on player reports. Some staff over the coming months will be dedicated solely to anti-cheat measures full-time. This isn't limited to Facepunch servers, but across the board. In addition to the above, we've deployed some stricter measures surrounding anti-cheating, eliminated several priority exploits, and will deploy further measures soon. In the last month: 26,954 bans have been applied 22,542 of which were permanent 4,412 of which were temporary 949,422 cheating reports received 90.8% of bans were applied automatically Since the 1st January 2024: 84,753 bans have been applied 71,371 of which were permanent 13,382 of which were temporary 3,116,133 cheating reports received 92.9% of bans were applied automatically Based on fiscal quarters: 72,849 bans applied in 2023 Q1 65,608 bans applied in 2023 Q2 81,682 bans applied in 2023 Q3 55,672 bans applied in 2023 Q4 81,084 bans applied in 2024 Q1 Notes Bans are placed for multiple reasons, the numbers above do not strictly reflect only cheat-related bans, but cheat-related bans do make up the vast majority of bans. A single player can receive multiple bans, for example, if a user is temporarily banned and then later switched to a permanent ban, this is counted as 2 bans in the above metrics. BRADLEY SCIENTISTS The Bradley has some new passengers this month! Scientists can now deploy from the Bradley to help defend it with some extra firepower. This applies to both the Launch Site Bradley and the Bradley that spawns along roads at the end of the month. Improvements & Fixes Highlights Seed Sack World Model Added new seed world model Mushroom World Model Added mushroom world model Monument CCTV Station New dedicated CCTV station within monuments SRV DNS Support I added support for SRV DNS record to Rust. This means you can now create nice domain names for your servers without needing to specify the port (or be forced into the default port). I also used this added information to improve the favorites list. Servers that have a working DNS record set up would save the domain name when favoriting so that favorites should never break as long as the domain name is pointing to the right place. More information on how to set this up is on the wiki . Ping Estimation If you have searched for new servers in the browser you probably noticed the large amount of fake ping: it's impossible to have 30ms ping to both a US and EU server. This is a side effect of certain forms of DDOS protection and has forced us to create a custom system to estimate ping rather than use steam's ping value. There is a new checkbox below "Use Cache" called "Estimate Ping". We will enable this by default in the future once we confirm the estimated values are more accurate than the existing ones. Please note this is still experimental and will be improved upon over the coming months. Electricity Change log Following on from the electricity section above, here are the changes in full: Splitter Power Consumption: 1 -> 0 Active Usage: 1 -> 0 Now distributes power evenly across all outputs and adds any remaining power to the earliest outputs, ensuring no power loss Electrical Branch Power Consumption: 1 -> 0 Active Usage is now properly calculated based on components wired from the 'Branch Out' output Blocker Power Consumption: 1 -> 0 Active Usage: 1 -> 0 Root Combiner Active Usage: 1 -> 0 Memory Cell Power Consumption: 1 -> 0 Active Usage: 1 -> 0 Components wired from the current inactive output will no longer add any Active Usage to batteries Fixed power passthrough being shown on both outputs instead of on the active one Side inputs won’t drain power anymore RAND Switch Power Consumption: 1 -> 0 Active Usage: 1 -> 0 Now passes power when ON and blocks power when OFF Now resets to OFF when power is applied to the 'Reset' side input XOR Switch Power Consumption: 1 -> 0 Active Usage: 1 -> 0 AND Switch Power Consumption: 1 -> 0 Active Usage: 1 -> 0 If only one side is powered, components connected to the output of an AND Switch will no longer increase batteries Active Usage OR Switch Power Consumption: 1 -> 0 Active Usage: 1 -> 0 When both inputs are powered, Active Usage will now be applied to the highest power source. If both sides have the same power, the first input is selected by default Timer Power Consumption: 1 -> 0 Active Usage: 1 -> 0 Now configurable when unpowered Switch Power Consumption: 1 -> 0 Active Usage: 1 -> 0 Fixed side inputs passing power through Fixed red light not enabled when receiving power but toggled off Smart Switch Power Consumption: 1 -> 0 Active Usage: 1 -> 0 Fixed side inputs passing power through Fixed red light not enabled when receiving power but toggled off Updated deploy mesh guide Counter Power Consumption: 1 -> 0 Active Usage: 1 -> 0 Max target number: 100 -> 999 If below its target value, components connected to a counter's output will no longer increase the Active Usage on batteries Pressure Pad Power Consumption: 1 -> 0 Active Usage: 1 -> 0 Fixed blocking power passthrough for a bit when triggered Button Power Consumption: 1 -> 0 Active Usage: 1 -> 0 Laser Detector Now deployable on any surface angle Tweaked handles position to make it easier to wire Ceiling Light Fixed an issue where it was possible to power them using only 1 unit of power instead of the required 2. Industrial Light Can now be rotated using R while being deployed Flasher Light Restored blue material emission when turned on Tweaked handles position to make it easier to wire Siren Light Added red material emission when turned ON Tweaked handles position to make it easier to wire Reactive Target Now resets itself automatically only after being knocked down Won't generate and pulse 1 power when lowered manually When both lower and reset inputs are powered, the one with the highest power takes over Industrial Conveyor Fixed 'Filter Pass' and 'Filter Fail' outputs passing through 1 power regardless of the current power Industrial Crafter Now drains 1 power correctly when turned on Small Generator Strobe Light Spooky Speaker Snow Machine Fogger-3000 Auxiliary inputs won’t add any Active Usage to batteries anymore Patch Name Waves Of Change Changelist Title April date_range Thursday, April 4, 2024 add_circle Features • Harbor monument reworks • Cargo Ship docking • Bradley Scientists will now help defend it • Patrol Helicopter reworks and improvements • IO entities snapping • Saturation Tube for Large and Small oilrigs, including new CCTV station. • New Seed and Mushroom World Models • Ping estimation in server browser • Added minigun • Added military flame thrower arrow_circle_up Improvements • Tool cupboard upkeep timer now in realtime • Increased counter max target number from 100 to 999 • Reversed RAND switch behavior, passes power when on and resets to off • Reactive target will now only reset itself after being knocked down.
