Sandboxels Update: Pushers, Text Display, Draggable Humans + 100

Our first update since the transition to Neal.fun! And it's a big one.

Sandboxels v1.14 is out now with long-awaited features and many less-awaited details.

Pushers

Sandboxels now has a Pusher machine!

When powered, it pushes pixels in a direction. This is great for transportation needs that Pipes or Portals don’t suffice, such as a conveyor belt or moving a pixel group!

Text

There is a new Text display element!

It dynamically reacts to color, size, and even some special elements, like Rainbow.

When placing Text, the underlying pixels are visible, but will be hidden once deselected.

They even support special variables for displaying temperature, charge, and more.

Human Improvements

We overhauled the code for Humans to use that new pixel-grouping system. Don’t worry, old saves with Humans will be migrated seamlessly when loaded.

• Humans can be dragged without breaking apart

• Humans can swim

• Humans can now control pixel groups when they are included - maybe you can make a mech?

Rapid Fire Changes!

There were OVER 100 minor changes this update - here are just some of the best ones:

• Heat Loss setting: Slowly return to room temperature over time

• Setting to show tick count again

• Pixel groups can be cut into multiple pieces with Erase

• Estonian language support

• Magical reactions were added to make recipes for many special elements

• Static can be painted

• Border has a special reaction when Rainbow is underneath

To see ALL the changes, see the full changelog!

What’s Next?

We will continue making updates for Sandboxels, both the web and Steam edition! We have some fun ideas planned for the next updates.

We’re also working on other projects around R74n. Please check them all out on R74n.com.
