It's that time again, where we are dropping another update. We've used our time recently to revisit some of the older parts of the game and give them a little TLC.

The major things you'll find in this update is the overhauled tutorial, which now provides a much-improved introduction to new players. We've also implemented visual weather effects for Sun, Cloud, Rain and Storms. These are only a teaser for some new content that's in the pipeline for a future update.

The rest of the update is full of QoL improvements and lots of bug fixes.
