Changes

• Your base core now spawns builder drones that build your structures (they popped out of thin air previously)

• AK74 & LMG both have increased bullet velocity by 25%

• turrets can now see you through smoke if you get close enough (within 1.5m)

• pusher turrets now push with more force

• grenades now have colored trails to show what type they are

• radar grenades now have a different effect that makes it much more obvious when they've been thrown

• radar grenades last 1s longer

Fixes

• added a second layer of failsafe to the faction system so players leaving the game should always register properly and promote a new faction leader

• player equipped weapon is now always networked, should fix inconsistent/buggy muzzle flash and tracers from other players

• fixed inconsistent structure collision detection on the build gun

• gunner NPCs now stagger correctly when damaged

• disconnecting from the server now actually waits for the logout to complete instead of instantly dumping you back to the menu

• fixed NPC turrets having slightly buggy behaviour from being classed as a map object

• fixed an AI bug where enemies would sometimes get brain damage and stop moving when trying to attack a structure

• fixed XP and levels bugging out and becoming disconnected if the server host changes the XP gain rate
