Hi Gunsmiths!

We present the latest work progress in our game. You can find the new changelog below.

30 September 2020

Mechanics:
1. Configuration phase split for special cases like:
- Modification of gun’s receiver,
- Some parts from the previous configuration are not valid for the new configuration.
2. Player can now change repair phases whenever the gun is functional.
3. Player can highlight all accessible parts (assembly, disassembly, customization).
4. Advanced player control for some machine work. It will be used for the “main” part of a task, like drilling, threading or cutting. It is fully compatible with click/press easy controls that will be used for “basic” parts of a task.

Content:
1. Guns added: 2.
2. Interactive workshop asset implemented: Sandblasting Cabinet.

Graphics:
1. New shader for outlines.
