An optional hotix is now available to download on the Experimental branch. (v0.3.0-beta.10a)
More work needs to be done before I feel comfortable enabling Tether's - this is a very complex mechanic and one that needs to be handled with care. Attempting to load pre-existing worlds with the Tether system would result in many sectors being lost due to Tether's being undefended.
Work will begin tomorrow on the following two subjects, and Tether's will be re-enabled once it's done...
Finishing and implementing the Quarantine mechanic
Giving Tether's some very basic defensive capabilities
Fixed a MAJOR issue that would cause saves to enter a cascading failure upon saving after switching regions; this was due to an oversight on my part from a change made earlier in the day in regards to chunk destruction, and has now been fixed.
Fixed two separate issues that would cause some minor issues with stats & buildings disappearing between region switches.
