What Changed in 1.0.7
Section titled “What Changed in 1.0.7”- Panel Rack
- You can assign the interact key to the Panel Rack, letting you open/use it with your chosen input instead of relying solely on context click.
- An auto‑dispense toggle lets you switch automatic dispensing on or off per rack.
- Pistons
- Tools placed on piston heads will now remain attached and move with the piston.
- Switching a piston off will lock it at its current location; turning it back on resumes its previous motion state.
- Trade Terminal
- Long‑pressing the tool lever clears/wipes all tools placed from that terminal.
- The global Clear All function now properly removes Gambling Crates as well as standard placed items.
- UI / World
- Ground markings were added to indicate spots for future machines (helpful for planning builds).
- Torch light unlock now displays a control hint so you can see which button to use.
- Reliability / Bugs
- Piñata and Cushion behaviors received reliability fixes.
- Automatic duck workbench animation issue fixed.
- Official fix for main-ending bricked saves (this update explicitly fixes the problem that 1.0.6 attempted to address).
What This Changes in Your Current Run
Section titled “What This Changes in Your Current Run”- Panel Rack bind + auto‑dispense: You can integrate Panel Racks into controller/keybind workflows immediately. If you relied on manual interaction, you can now toggle auto‑dispense off to prevent accidental outputs.
- Pistons: Moving pistons can now carry tools and other items that are attached to the head—this affects routing and moving-tool setups. Use the piston toggle to pause and lock a tool in place, then resume movement later without losing timing/state.
- Trade Terminal cleanup: Use the long‑press wipe to quickly clear placed tools during a run or before selling/repurposing a station. Clear All now removing Gambling Crates means less leftover clutter when you need a full reset.
- Save reliability: The explicit fix for main-ending bricked saves reduces the risk of being unable to continue after finishing the main ending; if you were stuck or worried about that edge case, runs should be safer going forward.
- Minor UX and reliability fixes (torch hint, ground markings, piñata/cushion, duck animation) improve clarity and reduce small annoyance-based soft failures; these are low-impact but helpful for smoother runs.
If you encounter a remaining save or stability issue, consult the Troubleshooting guide for current recovery steps and temporary workarounds.
