We worked hard to bring some highly requested features and improvements to this new Sandboxels update.
New machines ⚙️
First, we added the Filter! It acts like a sieve, allowing only certain elements to pass through.
It also has a cousin called the Gate, which only allows pixels through if it is powered by electricity.
Pipes can interact with these new machines, transferring pixels between them.
The new “Shift-Select” option brings extra functionality to existing elements. Just hold shift while selecting any of the following elements:
Erase - Only erase certain elements
Cloner - Clone multiple elements
Filter - Allow specific states or multiple elements
Sensor - Sense specific elements
Portal - Set unique channels
Void - Only delete certain elements
Random - Randomly place specific elements
Explosion - Custom explosion radius
Antibomb - Explode into specific elements
To make room in the Machines category, we merged a few elements and expanded functionality into others. Old saves will seamlessly migrate once loaded into the game.
LEDs R, G, and B -> A single customizable LED
Superheater and Freezer -> Heater and Cooler (Heat or Cool them to control temperature)
Tesla Coil and Shocker -> E-cloner
New graphics 🖼️
As you may have seen in recent YouTube/TikTok videos, background images and an Outline View are now here!
There are 6 default background images to choose from, but you can also use any image URL! To try the Outline View, press the ‘5’ key or select it in Settings.
We also improved the UI — Element buttons have a pixelated and colorful border. No more boring grays!
New tools 📐
We added a Ruler tool for taking measurements! This was originally to support people with myopia (nearsightedness), but it can be pretty helpful for everyone.
The Drag tool has also been greatly improved! It’s now much faster and smoother, letting you move pixels at record speeds.
New everything ♾️
There were over 60 more changes and bug fixes we didn’t talk about!
Ever tried to place Humans with Replace Mode enabled? Or use them on a Cloner? Yup, it’s fixed.
Please read the full changelog for all the new features! And enjoy :)
Where's the setting for outline view?
