Hey hey Everyone!

This is our first of several to come, "named patches"! We will be releasing these as seperate news post as we want to reach out to those players who've potentially experienced these issues.

We'll have another post tomorrow with a bit more information on save issues and what we're doing around that. :)

This is also a great time to once again mention that we are a small team of 6, where 4 of us are working on the game. The nature of Early Access mean our game is in active development. There will be bugs, there will be issues. But the message we want to get across is that even though a patch might be a little rough in the beginning, we'll fix it. We have done over 30 patches since we launched, we're here to do the work and our ultimate goal will always be to create a fun and engaging experience for all players :)

We appreciate all the feedback so far, the work continues!

These are the fixes:
