???? Summary of what we have done in the last weeks!

• Building System[olist]
• Changed the building system from collision channels to a tag snap system. So we theoretically have an infinite number of snap possibilities for example: Walls, roof slopes, columns, decorations, plants, electronic components and so on. Previously we were very limited in this respect.
• There is now a system with which buildings can have special rules for building in individual cases. For example, carpets can be placed under furniture if the furniture is already in place. Wall shelves automatically rotate towards the wall so that they hang from it. Hanging plants can only be hung from the ceiling up to a certain angle and so on.
• A system has been built in which ensures that buildables like decorations, cannot be built into each other. Due to a limitation in the Unreal engine, dynamic previews that have not yet been built can only have "simple collisions", which consist of boxes or similar simple shapes. However, we wanted it to be possible to place a candle on the edge of a furnace (for example). We therefore developed the system so that every buildable object has two possible collisions. A simple one for building and a complex (much more precise) one when the object is built. This way we can have the best of both worlds if necessary.

• Building preview is no longer displayed if you have a placeable in your hand and a UI open
• "Building rules" such as "Can only be built on land" or "Can only be built on water" have been added.
• Floating water drone rework (which you can already see in the trailers). Now has floats that limit the area in which the drone fishes items out of the water and a box in which the drone brings the items, where you can then collect them as a player.
• Sky environment improved. Clouds have been reworked. The sun now shines through the clouds better and adapts to the colour mood of the sun.
• Weather system improved. Now have more control over weather changes and leaves and sticks fly through the air during thunderstorms
• System prototyped so that you can be hit by whirling objects in a storm and take damage. It also takes into account the direction the wind is coming from, so you can take cover behind hills or walls from flying things.
