(I moved houses during the last patch, so I combined the previous patch and the current patch together into one post)

The Warp Field Update is live!

In this patch, we added construction materials, security task, gear crafting station (with shiv), and currency display in the HUD. Also added a new permission UI for controlling colonists.

The arbitrary "square" base boundary has been removed, and you can now build in any direction you want. Asteroids and stations can now spawn very close to your base. Asteroids are now slightly bigger.

You can also claim any part of a map that you want, and keep it forever, later, unclaim it and warp to remove it (you could keep an abyssal eye portal forever).
