Bug fixes

Gameplay

  • Fixed an issue where seeds would sometimes not get planted and just disappeared instead

  • Fixed an issue where seed would not be returned when removing a mound with the mech's plow

  • Constructs with structural integrity are now processed in order of elevation, potentially fixing issues with previously stable structures collapsing when loading a save file

Controls

  • Fixed camera being inverted vertically in photo mode compared to normal play

  • Fixed aim overshooting when turning the camera in the Mech, most noticeable when placing down buildings

Visuals

  • Fixed a save/load issue with the 2x2 glass wall with door opening and the inverted 26° corners

  • Fixed Green Lava Lamp being saved as the blue variant

  • Fixed lots of the latest modular construct additions changing to the wrong material when painted, or being paintable in the first place

Text & localization

  • Fixed error in French localization of "Fuel Bar/Bars"

  • Fixed missing localization for the "Inspect" prompt on points of interest

  • Fixed misspelling in description of Vintage Arm (L)
