Version 1.028 - 01/05/26 - 15:00 BST
I had a nasty hardware failure last weekend so a lot of this week was lost to getting that sorted... I think we're all good now, though!
New Features
Objects in the world that are colliding with what you're constructing in Build Mode will now be highlighted. Structures like Habitats will only be highlighted when constructing other Structures. - Added the 'Shock Absorbers' Upgrade to the Trade Node which increases the distance you can fall before taking damage by 50%.
Improvements
Improved the backup save system to not save on the main menu which reduces potential for 'identical' backups. - Increased maximum backup saves to 12 from 10. - Updated Bladestone, Vitaglass, Depthane's Heart and Miner's Bane descriptions to reflect their use in lens crafting. - Updated the Consuming Items tutorial to make it very clear you need to eat the Cactus Fruit to finish the tutorial.
Fixes
A dialogue that plays after returning with a certain character that provides a new facility type should now play reliably. - Fixed Ancient Bones not being placeable into the world. - Fixed the potential for the player to be stuck mesmerized. - Fixed the player being able to die during mesmerization.
