Patch 0.4.1.2

The next major update has also been heavily in development for a few months now and it's going to a big one with one particular change (keeping it under wraps for now) that has not only been requested for a long time but is also going to fundamentally change the entire game for the better. I will be sharing more details on the next major update late January/early February.
