Brick Recovery, Accessibility, Controls & Save Performance Update

Update - v1.3.0

This update adds a new Brick Recovery system and colorblind accessibility options, alongside improvements to gamepad controls, Skill Tree navigation, autosave performance, and localization.

Brick Recovery

• Added Reset Loose Bricks to the Pause Menu below I'm Stuck.
• Recovers bricks that have fallen underground, become stuck, or gone missing.
• Returns unplaced and incorrectly placed bricks to their original supply areas.
• Recovery also includes bricks carried by players or stored in Wheelbarrows.
• Correctly placed bricks, completed buildings, money, and skills are preserved.
• A save backup is created before recovery.
• In multiplayer, only the host can use this option, and it affects all players.
• Recovery UI, confirmations, and messages are available in all 31 supported languages.
• Please note that custom brick piles will be rearranged when recovery is confirmed.

Colorblind Accessibility

• Added Custom brick colors under Settings → Accessibility.
• Added Red–green and Blue–yellow presets to help distinguish brick colors.
• Individual brick groups can also be customized using:
• Hue
• Saturation
• Brightness

Added a preview before confirming color changes.

Custom brick colors can be restored to their defaults at any time.

Expanded Incorrect placement warning settings:

• Change the warning color.
• Adjust fill opacity.
• Toggle a dark outline for additional contrast.

Incorrect placement warning settings also work when custom brick colors are disabled.

Controls & Wheelbarrow Improvements

• Changed the default gamepad Emote binding to D-pad Down.
• Changed the default Wheelbarrow brick pickup binding to L2 / LT.
• Added continuous brick pickup while holding the pickup button.
• Continuous pickup stops automatically when carrying slots are full.
• Increased continuous brick pickup speed.
• Assigned Vehicle Reset to D-pad Up.
• Added the missing Vehicle Reset input prompt and remapping option.
• Previously saved default bindings are updated automatically while preserving custom bindings.

Skill Tree Improvements

• Added smooth automatic scrolling after purchasing an upgrade to reveal the next skills in that branch.
• Made locked skills more faded while keeping unlocked, purchased, and selected skills clearly visible.
• Automatic scrolling is cancelled when manually scrolling or navigating with a gamepad.
• Skill Tree scroll position is preserved when reopening it during the same session.
• Added initial Skill Tree focus based on saved progression.
• Teammates purchasing skills no longer move your Skill Tree view.
• Added Reduce Motion support for automatic Skill Tree scrolling.

Save Performance

• Reduced CPU overhead and temporary memory allocations during autosaves.
• Improved background save processing.
• Improved disk-writing efficiency for larger worlds.
• Existing saves remain fully compatible, so you can continue your current progress.

Localization & Terminology

• Renamed the Wide Block used in the Library doorway and Tower windows to Frame Block to avoid confusion with corner blocks.
• Updated the new name across all 31 supported languages.

Fixes

• Fixed a compilation error in the input-binding display-name tests.
