Additionally, with coming patches we're also expanding the feature set for some of the water blocks. 
E.g. by enabling rudders to work as control surfaces in the air and adding the option to mirror the Aquatic Screw chirality.
That's all this week from the Spiderling crew, stay tuned for more updates on improvements!
In the old system, multiple sounds playing at the same time would stack, ever increasing in volume to deafening levels that could drown out all other sounds. The new system has soft limiters in place to ensure any one track doesn’t drown out another, as well as a kind of hierarchy that ensures important sounds are prioritized over less important ones. For example, a sheep cannot drown out the sound of your flamethrower. It also means that Besiege’s music will always be audible, regardless of how many sound effects are playing.
As a thank you, purchasers of the Supporter Edition will receive a mastered album of Besiege’s soundtracks and a special animated skin for the Source Cube, giving it the appearance of a motorized engine. The Supporter Edition will be a “complete the set” bundle, meaning if you already own Besiege (or The Splintered Sea) the bundle will be discounted to reflect that.
Given that DLC is such a controversial subject these days, we’d like to put forward a disclaimer.
The Offlanders don’t just rely on floating defenses either, they also have a habit of mining their coastal waters and have built formidable defensive structures on their rocky island homes.
When it came to creating ocean environments, both for the campaign and sandbox, we wanted to make the areas beneath the surface just as interesting and interactive as those above it.
In addition to the campaign, The Splintered Sea also brings an ocean Sandbox level featuring several points of interest, including: A calm zone & circuit for racing high-speed craft, a powerful Galleon to fight and various ruins to explore & people to terrorize!
That's all for today, but we have also just posted an FAQ for the expansion on our Discord
With the introduction of water to Besiege, every physics object in the game (including blocks) now has a “buoyancy” value attached to it. The more buoyant a block is, the more mass or other external forces are needed to sink it.
If you want to build a machine that floats, you need to ensure it's overall buoyancy exceeds it's overall mass. To make a submarine, something designed to be underwater by default, you'll need to balance it's mass & buoyancy, making it "neutrally buoyant". This will mean you're not constantly fighting against a rising or sinking force.
Just as each machine in Besiege has a “center of mass”, the same is true of buoyancy. Balancing your “center of buoyancy” is essential to ensuring your machine doesn’t become lopsided or even capsize.
A machine’s “center of mass” is indicated by the red orb and “center of buoyancy” by the blue orb, as shown above.
Another feature of The Splintered Sea’s water simulation system is “Shape Dependent Drag”, which is applied to blocks that are passing through water. This creates a realistic feel to your machines by causing resistance, as it attempts to push itself through the water.
The image above was taken in our debug mode and shows areas of a machine that are causing the most drag when it moves forward. The colours show the amount of relative drag each block is causing, with red blocks creating the most drag. 
In this post we’ve covered the basics of building in water and some best practices that will help when designing aquatic machines. If you’re an avid machine builder and looking to broaden your engineering knowledge with concepts of greater complexity, we’d encourage further reading.
That’s all for this week’s post, but we hope it’s given you a glimpse into the exciting new machine-building frontier that is The Splintered Sea! Next week we’ll be taking a look at the expansion’s campaign levels, environments & occupants…
To help you move your machines through water, we’ve created three new blocks that each employ a different method of propulsion; the Sail Panel, Aquatic Screw and Paddle.
The Sail Panel provides you with a retractable sail that harnesses wind in order to propel your machine across the ocean’s surface. Retracting the sail while in simulation will slowly bring your machine to a stop.
The Aquatic Screw works the same way as a ship’s propeller, providing either forward or reverse propulsion. Aquatic Screws can be stacked together, forming one continuous unit that spins in unison. Modifying one Aquatic Screw with the Keymapper Tool, modifies any other screw that’s stacked together with it.
Due to their shape, Aquatic Screws also function as worm gears that interact with the grooves on Small & Large Cogs, causing them to rotate.
The Paddle block can be used to create oars for rowing or attached to wheels, turning them into “Paddle Wheels” (a method of propulsion used by early Steam Ships). The Paddle can also be placed on the sides of your machine, acting as a lateral dampener to help keep your machine moving in a straight line.
While many blocks in Besiege provide some degree of buoyancy, the Small & Large Barrel block’s buoyancy is customizable and has an upper limit that’s much higher than any other block. Placing and customizing their values allows you to finetune your machine’s overall buoyancy, whether it’s to support heavy cannons or balance a submarine.
While in simulation, you can use hotkeys to apply a “rise” or “sink” force to the Barrels that’ll help you control submersible machines like submarines. The amount of force applied can also be customized using the Keymapper tool.
To help you steer your aquatic machines we’ve created a Rudder block, which simulates a lateral force and provides more effective steering in water. You can of course create your own steering methods and even rudders out of existing blocks, but we wanted to ensure there was a block specifically designed for use in water as well.
The Harpoon Launcher has been a long requested addition for Besiege and what better place for it than as part of an ocean themed expansion! The block fires a devastating spear bolt attached to a rope, which can be detached or reeled back in at the press of a button. You can use it to pull enemy vessels along, winch your machine toward a target or maybe even do some fishing…
That’s it for today’s post, but fear not, there’s plenty more to talk about in the lead up to launch! In next week’s post we’ll take a deeper dive into building for water, discussing some engineering principles to consider, and demonstrating some tools we’ve created to help you build ocean faring machines.
Ensuring immersive and satisfying interaction between player creations and the ocean was also very important to us. We wanted the water to react to your presence, creating a rippling wake-like effect as your machine moves and splashing when parts of your ship impact the surface. Splashes and spray are proportional to the magnitude of an impact, so striking the water with a large heavy object at high speed creates a much larger effect than something smaller and lighter at a slower speed.
Now, Besiege wouldn’t be Besiege without awesome explosions, so we wanted to give special attention to them in water as well!
Thank you to everyone from the Discord community who’s pitched in and playtested this update over the holiday period! Your help has enabled us to cram in more bug fixes and get the update released quicker than expected.
The Axle is a universal joint like block that is similar to a ball joint, except it isn't allowed to swivel freely, which means you can use them to transfer rotational energy from one part of the machine to another, like an axle on a car.
In addition to the new blocks, we've added a couple extra features to existing blocks including; a damper setting for suspension, a target pressure/height for regular balloons, and an often requested pre-extension of sliders.
