Deimos Interactive, the developer of Mechanica, just released a new update that adds tons of new content to the game. It also added improvements to the particle appearance for fire, function behavior for trees, and scrolling through the crafting menu.
Some bugs, such as doors not appearing or working properly in multiplayer, animation trigger issues, and speeder blue color not being applied to winglets are fixed. Base objects now stay stationary even if their supporting structure is removed.

Converting Your Legacy Bases
Although you can't craft them, old building structures remain in the game files. This is to prevent issues with existing saves. But if you want to convert your legacy base to a new one, there is an easy way. Pick up the old base objects to get the updated version of those objects in your inventory.
