Changelog 2014-08-26: Ladders, new build tools, new objects

Hi folks!

Here is a new update, bringing a lot of stuff!

First of all, this update contains a new feature: Ladders. Currently there are two wooden and one metal ladder available, also a few variations for the wooden ladders. Every ladder is available in two different sizes, short (2 blocks height) and long (4 blocks height). When you want to place a ladder in the world, and there is already an existing ladder, you can directly connect the new part to the already existing ladder. This brings us to the next feature: Modular building. This feature allows you to connect objects seamless with each other, but it's currently only available for ladders and kitchenets (since it does not make sense for other objects).

Apart from that, there are more new building features: For example, you're now able to place multiple blocks in a row at once. This massively speeds up the process of building.
Another feature is the ability to freeze objects while placing, for example to look at them from the other side. When unfreezing them again, the offset from your previous position to your new position is saved. Keep in mind that this feature is still WIP.

Last but not least, you get a bounch of new objects with this update, for example sanitary facillities (toilet, lavatory etc.), new shelfes and new doors. And as usual, this update also contains smaller changes (e.g. we replaced the old object dummy icons by real thumbnails) and bugfixes.

Have fun!

Das mit den Stones stimmt! Das wird schleunigst behoben, morgen (also effektiv heute) Abend werden wir einen neuen Bugfix veröffentlichen, danke für den Hinweis!

Das Problem mit den Fackeln ist uns bislang leider nicht bekannt... d.h. also ohne, dass du etwas verändert hast, haben sie im Laufe der Zeit ihre Position verändert? Wie "alt" sind die Fackeln denn? Wenn die quasi sehr alt sind, kann es sein, dass kleinere Änderungen an der Weltgenerierung (das war ja seit dem "Licht-Update" schonmal der Fall) dazu führten, dass die Höhlen möglicherweise jetzt einen geringfügig anderen Verlauf haben (während sich die Objektposition nicht anpasst).
Wenn das irgendwie erst kürzlich passiert ist, dann ist das sehr spooky. Oder kann man den Fehler ggf. sogar reproduzieren?

Der neue Bugfix ist nun verfügbar und behebt das Problem mit den Steinen. Das mit den Fackelhalterungen müssen wir mal im Auge behalten, grundsätzlich könnten alle Objekte von diesem Problem betroffen sein.

----------------------

A new bugfix is available, fixing a problem when crafting blocks: Even when having stone in your inventory, the game claims you don't have any stone.
