Update 18 - V0.42 (The Attractive Update)

Hello Everyone!

Today we’ve got another Besiege update for you, Version 0.42. V0.42 brings with it 3 new blocks, updates to existing blocks and several bug fixes.

The new blocks added by this update are the Crossbow Block, Log Block & Vacuum Block. The Crossbow Block allows you to fire large arrows at enemy targets and has 30 rounds of ammunition before it is depleted. The Log Block is… well, it’s a log. The block is three times the length of a single wooden block for use on larger scale machines. The Vacuum Block creates a suction force that pulls; enemies, objects, debris, etc towards it. This block was designed with both environmentally conscious players in mind (To help them clean up their devastation) and also for those players enjoy obscene levels of chaotic violence.

We’ve also been gradually working our way through some of the game’s original, more dated looking blocks, updating them with improved textures and models. As previously mentioned in our development post, we have compiled and uploaded a skin pack to the workshop which contains all of the original textures and models for the blocks, for those who wish to continue using them. They can be found here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=821757028 Development on other areas of the game is continuing to progress well and we’ll hopefully be announcing some new pretty major features soon! But for now we really hope that you enjoy these new blocks and look forward to seeing what you use them for!

Cheers,

Von
