The new "One Floor Teleporter," if already placed, will be wonky when the new model replaces the old version in an existing game. Some new machines, such as the recycler, might not be found in your blueprints if certain saving conditions have also o…
Greetings Pilgrims; This small patch contains a few quick fixes to a few lingering issues. Patch Notes · I fixed an issue with landing pads remaining in use after launching a rocket. This was a tricky fix to track down, but I am now confident it is 100% fixed.
