Release 1.28
Milling Machine Simulator:
Fixed: Resolved an issue where YouTube tutorial videos were not displaying, resulting in a black screen.
Fixed: Addressed a significant issue where the tool erroneously detected collisions with the workpiece, even when no material was present.
Lathe Machine DLC:
Added: Introduced a tooltip notification system for scenarios where the lathe is configured for threads, the machine is turned off, and auto movement is active. In such cases, the machine cannot be manually moved until either auto movement or threads are disabled.
Fixed: Corrected a bug where repeatedly clicking to change the tool would cause the tool to become hidden, rendering it inaccessible.
Fixed: Rectified an issue where YouTube tutorial videos failed to display, resulting in a black screen.
Fixed: Addressed a major issue where the tool incorrectly detected collisions with the workpiece, even in the absence of material.
These updates aim to enhance the overall user experience and ensure smoother gameplay mechanics. We appreciate your continued support and feedback as we strive to improve the Milling Machine Simulator and Lathe Machine DLC. Happy machining!
