Beta v0.2.3.0k

Hey everyone! Judge Heath here with this large update of changes and fixes, a lot of you playing the beta builds will have experienced these already, but this will be the last update before the Dark Woods Update!

The full release of that will be near the end of June, as this is such a big update with a lot of new methods and tools we used to make it over the last year or so, we really want to make sure that it’s all hooked together and stable. It WILL be accessible earlier on the beta branch (Just not right this second)! So those of you who wish to help us break it in and find all the errors we’ve missed? You can find the instructions on how to activate the beta branch in our discussion boards if you do a little digging!

Thank you all so much for all the support you’ve given us over the years as we narrow in on our next update!
