Changelog

2026-09-11 Version 1.2.0 Release

IMPORTANT: If updating from V 1.0.6 or earlier existing linkers inside controllers may be deleted, back up your world and remove any linkers currently installed in contraption controllers before updating.

Fixes and Updates

• Thrusters:

  • Fixed looping audio and positional sound playback for thrusters on Sable sub-levels.
  • Fixed stale thruster flame rendering and sound instances after a thruster is destroyed.

• CC:Tweaked:

  • Added current and target angle methods for Thruster Bearings and Aeroworks mechanical/stepper servo bearings.
  • Fixed a parity issue where peripheral.find didn't return the same method data as peripheral.wrap.
  • Added method parity between the Navigation Table and Advanced Navigation Table.

• Advanced Contraption Controller:

  • Reduced server-thread polling by skipping passive HUD sampling without an observer, caching dock stock discovery between block/chunk changes, and moving linker reconciliation to event-triggered safety passes.
  • Passive graph data is sampled across four ticks and only changed input/output values are persisted or mirrored to observers.
  • Fixed On Variable Change so assigning the existing value does not pulse it, and replaced its free-form variable field with a variable selector.
  • Updated Key Output node, it now acts as a trigger to allow programmatically triggering matching key Key Input nodes.
  • Fixed Select Node, it now correctly exposes output execution ports to trigger.
  • Added Exec Combine node that takes multiple Execution inputs and condenses them into a single Execution Output.
  • Updated the Get Data node when the target is a Navigation Table to correctly expose its Distance to Target output port.
  • Made Right click + Drag pan the graph for Steamdeck compatibility.
  • Reworked the NBT to SQL storage system to tighten conversion and clean-up.
  • Added load time NBT Conversion path for linkers that are incorrectly storing NBT graph data. Should hopefully fix crashes on world load when caused by large NBT reads.
  • Made Nixie Tubes output 00-99 when used with a Advanced Contraption Controller.
  • Fixed the Set Data node when targeting Nixie Tubes to expose a String input to write text to Nixie Tubes.
  • Added Image node, converts image to base:64 and stores it as a resizable node in the graph for referencing.
  • Added Interactive primatives to the Advanced HUD node for buttons, sliders, toggles.
  • Added data driven mutations for Advanced HUD elements.
  • Added Function sub-graphs for cleaner main graphs and better performance.
  • Fixed Sable errors when pulsing Accelerate and Decelerate nodes On Update.
  • Play Sound node now features a searchable drop down sound library to select the audio to play.
  • Optimised Node graph rendering for better performance.
  • Tightened Set Data node by removing unsafe inputs and arbitrary setters globally. (Some might still exist, requires extensive testing)
  • Added missing Target Coordinates output to the Get Data node when the target block is a Navigation Table
  • Fixed a Set Data node regression where port data types were incorrect for some blocks.
  • Added missing X/Y vectors to the Set Data node when the target is Create Propulsion Simulated Vector Thruster.
  • Added On value change Event node that pulses any time the input value changes.
  • Added Missing node suite to the Advanced Contraption Controller
  • Added missing functionality to the Select/Switch node. (renaming to Switch in a future update)
  • Added Node Graph V2 alternate styling with marginally better performance.
  • Added Start/Resist parameter inputs to the Deadzone node.
  • Increased maximum zoom out range to 5%.
  • Added Wire hover highlighting.
  • Added safe recursion guards to all nodes.

  • Goggles Tracker node now exposes Player Facing direction as a map data type.
  • Goggles Tracker node now exposes Looking at coordinates as a map data type for the block the player is looking at.
  • Named Event nodes can now be used to wirelessly route execution and data in the same graph.
  • Finished adding missing translation keys for the new Math nodes.
  • Get Data node now works with Type Writers.
  • Added Port Context Menu. Right click any output port to tag it as Persistent, persistent ports don't reset on graph saves, world reloads, or chunk loads and keep their last value as the new port default value.
  • Renamed Select node to Switch and added a Type toggle between Execution and Data. In Data mode the Execution ports are removed and replaced with Data (type any) input ports. Right clicking a port will allow you to set its data type. Data mode Switch nodes return the value at the current case selector.
  • Ports now have a right click Port Context Menu for port specific options like Promote to variable and Persistent.
  • Converting Comment Groups to Functions now pre names the function using the comment group title.
  • Get Variable node now holds on to its last matching datatype value until parsing the new value is complete to avoid Map->String->Map type errors with Breakout nodes.
  • User added ports can now be removed in the Right click Port Context Menu.
  • Added Promote to Variable to the Port Context Menu.
  • Added Shipping Schedule nodes when a Pilot is present.

  • Added Graphing Plotter for mathematical function testing with one click Convert to node function.
  • Fixed On Variable Change event node.
  • Optimized Passive data nodes to only update port deltas when different. Previously the whole node evaluated every tick and pushed its port values to the graph evaluator regardless of changes.
