Alright - time for a new update again! The main highlight is the improved toolbar. During development we got accustomed to using the top row of backpack as the toolbar. It saved some space in the inventory screen but it was quirky. Your feedback triggered the change to move to a dedicated toolbar which is now available in the update.
There's also an alternative quickswap control: Press dpad down and use stick. This is not enabled by default to avoid confusing people so you need to enable it in the options.
This is a large change, so please report any bugs with the new toolbar with F1 again - there might be still some even though we tried to be very careful and meticulous.
Quality of Life & Accessibility
New tool slots for better quick swap
Alternative gamepad quick swap: hold dpad down + right stick
Added zoom in/out (+/- on keyboard, RUN+right stick while stationary)

Autosaving after receiving/spending quest items or keys
Combat & Balance
Cultists with potions use them less often and heal less
Doubled Spire HP (they collapsed too quickly with higher tier weapons)

Exit doors in Ananke now open properly after defeating the All-Seeing Lord
Various other multiplayer sync fixes
Fixes & Polish
Zombies can no longer kill you through windows in the intro house. That was rude.

Named all repairable bridges at Sanctus for clarity
Foliage rendering optimizations
General terrain, collision, grammar, and gfx fixes
We're already working on the next update which will focus on the building experience among some other things.
A word about branches: You can test the latest stuff by switching to the staging or preview branch. They include the latest fixes and improvements - but may also contain new bugs.
Preview - The very latest stuff, not much testing yet.
Staging - Somewhat tested and moving towards default branch.
You can switch branches in the game properties on Steam or in-game:
