Hi Mechanics!

We are closing in on a new update release with a lot of nice new content.
Today we are rolling out the first test on the test branch mainly for the mod makers.
The Mod Tool has been updated, making it a lot more open and flexible.
If you are a mod maker, you will find a lot of new features on the test branch of the Mod Tool.
We also updated the scripting API reference pages:

As some of you might have noticed. We have added two new categories to the Workshop as well.
World and Custom Games.

Worlds: This is where mechanics can upload custom creative worlds to the workshop.
Custom Games: This is where mod makers can upload modded survival game modes as well as completely own custom games.

Keep in mind that there will be bugs and issues on the test branch at this stage.
But it will get more stable as we keep updating it with new content and fixes in the coming days.

Warning! Do not open saves from the current version of the game on the test branch since things are still a bit unstable and they might break.
Mods updated with the new Mod Tool will not work in the current version of the game.
Worlds and Challenges created in the test will not work in the current version of the game either.
