We’ve just released Build 0.543, a major impact update that completely rewires the game’s UI from the ground up.
This includes updates to nearly every element: buttons, scrollbars, input fields, and more.
Full UI Rewrite; the entire interface has been rebuilt for stability and scalability.
Improved Layout & Scaling; UI should now adapt better to different resolutions and aspect ratios.
Quality-of-Life Enhancements; input responsiveness, scrollbar consistency, and general polish.
Tip: If your resolution or ratio feels off, you can access UI scale controls in the Dev UI (press F8) to tweak things. This isn’t a supported feature yet, but it can help smooth out display issues.
This update lays the foundation for the new UI going forward, and we’d love your feedback.
Please test every part of the interface; every button, input, and corner of the menu; and let us know what’s working and what isn’t.
This is a demo build which is on a beta branch, and so it must be activated. Learn how to do that here:
