Hi Prospectors
You can now add custom skins to your Techs. Each corp has its own brand new custom unique skin for you to use.
We've also added some new features to Co-op Creative, such as tethering and teams for you to roam across a larger terrain.
You can now add enemy Techs to your Co-op Creative game and also use shield and repair bubbles as well as other power blocks to give you a fighting chance.
There's also been some design tweaks, bug fixes and even more new blocks.
Enjoy,
Matt

Other changes:
- Multiple undo stacking has now been removed as it was considered too confusing to the player. The revised behaviour is as follows:
- When any operation creates an undo, it replaces any previous undo that was available.
- When a block-detach undo (as opposed to send-to-SCU) is available, if you detach a block from the Tech that the operation applies to, the undo will be invalidated (the button disappears).
- You can still do the exploit where you detach a block, replace it with a different block, then hit undo to attempt to rebuild the Tech around the replacement block - provided that you don't detach any more blocks after the initial detach.
- When any operation creates an undo, it replaces any previous undo that was available.
- "Report a Bug" has been removed from the pause menu
- Bugs posted on the TerraTech forum are handier for the dev team to manage as it's easier to respond to and ask for more information where necessary.
