I compared the decompiled Space Engineers' game code for v200 against v199 and this is what I found that is relevant to modding and scripting (including PB).

SBC modding/modelling (affects modAPI too)

  • New block types:
    • TurretControlBlock (CubeBlocks_Automation.sbc)
    • Searchlight (CubeBlocks_Warfare2.sbc)
    • HeatVentBlock (CubeBlocks_Warfare2.sbc)

  • All blocks got:
    • <TargetingGroups> (string list) (see TargetGroups.sbc for values)
    • <PriorityModifier> and <NotWorkingPriorityMultiplier> (float) (cannot easily be set by modAPI, private setter)
    • <DamageEffectOffset> (vector3)
    • <AimingOffset> (vector3) (affects where turrets aim at this block, useful for blocks that have nothing in the center of the boundingbox)
