Version 0.30 Update — Sports Competitions, New Save System & More

NEW IN VERSION 0.30

Dispatch to all patrols: update 0.30 has landed on the beach. A new competitions mode, a reworked pull-up system, and a save system that finally works the way it should. Full list below.

Quick note from base: the current demo build with full Day 2 will stay on the water for about another week. Starting 18.08, the demo goes back to Day 1 only, Day 2 heads to the workshop for further revision. Day 1 has been holding up well and stays out in the field longer.
