Mechs are being improved: - There is now a retargeting done when importing animation. You first need to define your idle angles. Then the game will compare both source and target idle angle to apply the animation angles.
- East vs West control scheme: It is now possible to select between two controls scheme: East will pilot like a player, for a dynamic feel like in Japanese animation (hence the name) West will pilot more like a tank.
- New Bust limb option for rotator. The bust will essentially act like a tank turret for West tank: it will follow the player mouse.
- Jump ability. It is possible to jump. Hold the key longer for a bigger jump. This feature will be improved.
Hotfixes:
#5817 Key added are blocked by default with symmetry.
- Preview ground works with foot rotator facing upwards
Many fixes with several related to mechs. The physics engine has been improved: now the center of gravity and moment of inertia take into account each children entity position, making mechs more stable.
Hotfixes:
#5804 Rotator Join incorrect hitbox.
#5806 Dropdown setting box can clip text.
#5810 No key at 0 when using symmetry
#5808 Mech with inverter feet rotator dont align feet to terrain properly.

Thanks for playing!
[New build - DEFAULT] 24w21a: Power Cell
A new way to power your craft has been added with the power cell (item) and the power cell base (brick). This is mainly to address a gap in powering smaller craft like hovercraft in survival, as using fuel is higher tier and more complex. Place a power cell base on an entity and plug a power cell to it. You can set the base to either charge power or draw power from the cell.
Survival Impact: This build now counts the item bar volume in the total player volume. The base player volume has been increased to 3000L.
