Our work isn’t finished yet, and we’re continuing to develop several major improvements, including:

• Crafting directly using items stored in chests

• Enhanced block rotation while building

• A waypoint management system

Unfortunately, these features aren’t ready just yet, as we’ve identified more complex underlying issues that need to be addressed first.

That said, we decided to move forward with this patch to tackle the most critical problems you’ve been experiencing; especially save data loss. Another update is already planned for next week!

We hope this patch improves your overall experience and makes exploration smoother.
