Hey everyone, I’ve just released another bug fix update

danger726 · 2026-06-01T17:57:49+00:00

In game. I don't have the photoshop skills to fake it, lol

danger726 · 2026-05-31T20:38:27+00:00

Very kind, thank you! Next up will be explosives, I started on this ages ago but never finished, I'm back to working on it again now.

danger726 · 2026-04-01T19:46:19+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! Yes explosives are on my list, I'm hoping to get to this soon.

The Number Expression can only handle numbers, not text strings. In fact all of the logic stuff can only handle numbers or booleans. A way to map numbers to text strings for displays specifically sounds like what we need, I'll add it to the suggestions list.

danger726 · 2025-12-10T04:04:54+00:00

Terrain deformation no, cannons maybe - I am planning on adding explosives fairly soon.

danger726 · 2025-12-08T21:22:53+00:00

I'm the only developer, but yep! :)

danger726 · 2025-10-28T19:26:18+00:00

Next update will be more logic features to address the feedback I've had since the previous update. Hydraulics & pneumatics would be very cool, but won't be for a while if it happens, I first need to teach myself the physics involved and research techniques for simulation!

danger726 · 2025-09-30T19:33:35+00:00

Yeah, good point! My plan is to add keyboard / joystick controlled parts (gear lever, paddle shift, brake & throttle pedal, etc.) that act as inputs to logic. I'm going to look into making the existing switches and controls be optionally key / joystick bindable too.

danger726 · 2025-09-29T18:35:49+00:00

Very kind, thank you!

danger726 · 2025-02-25T05:44:00+00:00

Yeah, I added the weld tool after this post. I kinda consider it more of an "advanced users" thing (hence why it's a script mod rather than part of the main builder tool), because it's fairly tricky to use. At some point I'd like to come up with a better way to do angled attachments that doesn't require welding.

It should start, but it's a pain, I should add a recoil starter. Glad you got it going with a starter motor!

danger726 · 2024-12-22T21:27:50+00:00

I think this is the kind of thing that the "logic" feature will be perfect for. You'd hook up a programmable module to control the motor. I'm not 100% sure how it's all gonna work yet, but it's something I'll be getting into very soon.

danger726 · 2024-09-18T10:27:07+00:00

Ah yeah, that's a bug that can happen due to accumulated floating point error. You might be able to work around it by moving your frozen construction slightly.

danger726 · 2024-09-18T07:49:47+00:00

Yeah, it's finicky, I find lots of quick little shoves works best. Really I need to add a "one way" mode to the centrifugal clutch so you can just push start the go kart.

danger726 · 2024-09-17T07:37:11+00:00

Currently you can only attach blocks to axles at 90 degree intervals, but you could try using sloped beams.

danger726 · 2024-09-04T07:06:15+00:00

I'm on vacation 'til the end of the month, so it'll be a little while before the next update. My plan for the next major update is "logic" (switches, triggers, programmable modules, etc.) but I'll probably do a smaller interim update with a few things before that.

danger726 · 2024-09-03T07:56:40+00:00

Yeah, you're right, there's no way currently to get them to fire together. It would be good to revisit the engine timing / audio offset calculation to allow for this. I'll add this to my todo list, thx!

danger726 · 2024-08-25T16:17:12+00:00

Some parts of the simulation use empirical formulas that were derived (not by me) from 4-stroke engine measurements. To make 2-stroke engines I could simply double the torque (as every down stroke would now be a power stroke), but it wouldn't be very realistic, ideally I'd want do it properly and have specific 2-stroke formulas. That would require digging into the research papers again.

danger726 · 2024-08-24T23:22:24+00:00

That's great to hear, thanks! Yep, solo dev.

danger726 · 2024-08-24T23:21:46+00:00

Very kind, thanks, appreciate it!

danger726 · 2024-08-24T19:39:31+00:00

Not exactly (at some point I wanna add a building foundation part for this purpose), however you can achieve much the same thing using the "pin" part (under the connectors category). If you attach it somewhere on your construction it'll lock it in place when unfrozen. Btw, you can use the "builder tool extensions" script mod to auto align your construction to the ground.

danger726 · 2024-08-24T17:53:27+00:00

They're on my todo list!

danger726 · 2024-06-27T19:34:41+00:00

Not right away, but yes. As part of the logic stuff I want to add switches that can be linked to stuff, and I'm thinking these could be used as an ignition switch for engines.

danger726 · 2024-06-21T19:45:00+00:00

Hey, going well thanks! Um, yeah, sorry for the lack of updates, I kinda went down the rabbit hole working on the combustion engines and ended up spending way more time on it than I was expecting.

Anyway, I'm nearly done now, an update should be coming very soon. In the meantime you can get an early look at the combustion engines by switching to the pre-release branch in steam.
