This update comes with some changes to code modding, please refer to the new Getting Started section of the code modding wiki. If your mod uses UnityEngine.PlayerPrefs, please migrate to ModBehaviour.SaveSetting and ModBehaviour.LoadSetting.
This update also adds the ability to place hardware designs in your office, which was meant to be added almost 4 years ago, but I finally got around to it.

Here are some of the things that have changed since last. Servers You can now develop your own server products and use them for hosting your software, or use servers already on the market. A server's bandwidth, durability, power usage and security will depend on which features you select during development.
