Sandboxels Recap #2 - Fools, Cities, and Mods
Everything you missed from the Sandboxels community and developer over the past few weeks.
In this issue of Sandboxels Recap, we travel all over the Internet to see what players have been up to, along with some updates from the developer!
🤡 April Fools’
On Monday, the “Multiversal Update” was released. In case you were confused, this was the second year that Sandboxels received an April Fools’ Day update.
Many of you enjoyed the features, some of which may be added officially! These kinds of updates give developers an opportunity to experiment with things that otherwise wouldn’t fit.
Luckily, you can still enable the update as a mod! Here’s how:
Go to Sandboxels and press the Mods button in the toolbar.
In the text box, type “fools24.js” exactly, without the quotes.
Press Enter, then refresh your page.
You can remove it in the same Mod Manager if you’re done having fun!
Next, let’s see what you all’ve been up to…
🏙️ City Save Contest
We held the first ever Sandboxels Save Contest, with the theme “Destructible Cities”, to go with the recent Natural Disasters Update.
There were many, many great submissions, but unfortunately we had to pick a single winner because of how contests work. We judged these saves based on attention to detail and experience when destroying them. The winner is…
This bustling city by Guinea of Pigs (@guinea_of_pig) features incredible detail, including a movie theater, mall, skyway, subway, Sandbloxian flags, and even a tiny Human statue. (Although, this one has arms…)
Please check out the gallery of our other favorites! Everyone an amazing job and we’d pick a lot if we could.
Want to play around with any of these saves? Join the Discord and find them under the “🗳️ Contest Submission” tag in the #sandboxels-saves channel!
🚀 Rocket Engines?
I wasn’t even aware this was possible, but Twitter user @starship2619487 managed to create a working Raptor rocket engine using Liquid Oxygen and Methane.
☀️ Solar System
In other space news, Reddit user u/GermanRedditer created a model of the solar system, with planets made out of their actual abundant materials! (Not to scale)
