    I'm sure we've all played around with it a little bit after this recent update. What have you made? Status screens, movie theaters, the entirety of star wars done in asciimation STAR WARS ASCIIMATION - Main Page?

    I haven't seen too much done with this, but to be fair I haven't looked far. I bet Saber could have some fun with the new functionality, though! *cough*Animated coins*cough*

    I tell you want I haven't done.....
    I work out why the sensor block working in the login that i build it and then 1 out of 4 identical circuits just stops working after i logout and log back in and this is in single player ffs. Makes me want to not even try anything new because its bugged and a waste of time.

    Well I have a jump drive display that displayed the currently selected jumpdrive. ie 'Jumpdrive 1 charging'
    And 'Forward Port Turret is taking damage' and 'Power low. Weapons offline'

    personally, I'm waiting for ToasterBorst to make the tier 3 demo platform with his wacky wizardry.

    your logic threads are probably crashing. try running a "dedicated server" ->locking it onto specific cores ->load client second time ->lock out from those cores and connect to "localhost:4242"

    For those uninformed, what new functionalities were added?
    A randomizer block that has a 50% chance to change its state every time the input signal changes.
    A sensor block that can detect things like the percentage of power remaining on a ship.

    Back on topic I've used it to make a display that tells the bridge when the airlock is cycled.

    I thankyou sir for your knowledge, I never knew logic threads could crash. You have saved me from rage quiting the game for a little while at least
