- Added a 2m straight conveyor with a power input, letting you inject power mid-line for large conveyor setups
- Added power indicator lights across conveyors and production units
- Added Conveyor Analyzer to check whether a conveyor unit has no power, has power, or is powered on
- Fixed an issue where dumping effects could trigger in invalid situations (most noticeable with chained dual-output hoppers),
causing visual spam and potentially unnecessary performance cost
- Fixed uneven distribution in some multi-output conveyor setups
- Storage containers are now paintable
- Fixed Coal Plant default color not matching other buildings
- Fixed Coal Plant not being paintable
- Fixed snap points on the Water Pump so wall-mounted pylons (etc.) snap correctly to its side

without switching tools
- Fixed direction arrow not visible when placing large hoppers
Vehicles

- Fixed haul trucks dumping some of their load underneath themselves
- Fixed switching vehicles from vehicle list could cause character to appear in previous vehicle
- Fixed exhausts not following the baggers correctly
Drone & Multiplayer

Stability & Saves
- Fixed crashes caused by some company logos when joining a multiplayer game
- Company saves moved to AppData
Previously stored in `Documents/My Games/Out of Ore/Companies`, but some antivirus software may flag games writing there.
Company saves are now stored in the AppData Companies folder (consistent with other game files).
The Company Manager now includes an Open Folder button for quick access.
- Removed code that could potentially trigger a physics crash
- Manual saving now resets the auto-save interval
- Voxel world now provides a reason when data is locked (Saving / Client joining)
