R20 – Block rotation, linked windows/fences

One of the things we pride ourselves on here at Playful is including something inspired by our players’ feedback in every release. R20 has a big one: block rotation and linked fences/windows. See it in action here. This is just the first version of block rotation, by the way — expect it to get better down the road.

Also in R20: a tracker system for blueprints, so you can know exactly what you need and what you have on hand when working on a blueprint. There’s a new blueprint and a slew of craftable iron decor (start unlocking it by crafting some Iron Bar Walls).

Keep the feedback coming and play on!
