- You can now middle-click while pointing at a building to build another copy (you'll see a blue crosshair)
Planets:

- New kitchen area for the Response
Upgrades:

QoL:
- Store page on Steam should now be localized
- Boss health bars will now be outlined gold when they are invulnerable
- Second type of stronger bat near some unlocks
- Many typo and localization fixes
- Bomb significantly improved usability
- Pedestal Puzzle has been adjust to be easier
- Lava should be more consistent in multiplayer
- Shotgun now has higher spread and higher damage per bullet. DPS remains similar.
- Small Production UI improvements.
- Guns should be easier to find on the planet
- Chests containing cosmetics now glow and are easier to find
Bug:
- Fixed beacons so they now properly save
- Fixed a crash when using new ship teleporters

- Fixed a game lock that could happen when repairing the engine immediately after loading a game
- Fixed Waypoints regularly not appearing (especially in multiplayer)
Next patch:
- This will include personal missions, planet 6, and be the patch candidate for us leaving Early Access if all goes well. The last planet will feature a boss immediately with the conclusion to the story. After the boss is defeated you'll have access to some excruciatingly difficult puzzles if you'd like to try your hand at some we love, but thought were too hard or strange for the standard game.
