Repeated intro

Hey ArkCoNauts! We’ve been working like crazy to bring the patch together ahead of PAX, and for that reason, we’ve made a judgement call. We’re going to release this one to the public beta branch for the time being, before pushing it to stable. With the team away this weekend for PAX, we don’t want the main branch to experience any major patch related bugs or hiccups. This patch marks some significant changes in some areas, especially in the research system. The scope of this change means that things are more likely to break, and we need to see how this all plays out when you guys are beating on it for us. Once the team returns we can iron out issues that are found over the weekend, and get back to business as usual. To opt in and check out the new update, follow these steps: Right click on Edge of Space in your Steam library select properties select betas select Public test from the drop down menu Changes & Additions
