Hello and merry existence again, fellow space survivors!
Today’s hotfix will bring you numerous quality-of-life updates. Most importantly: significant updates to UI, such as being able to select all wounded crew or drones.
Additionally, DIY tech that can be crafted has been organized into neat categories, and many glitches fixed and optimizations implemented. As a cherry on top of cake, the Gardenship and Bluestar now have the possibility to craft themselves a second nuke slot.
