addedFeatures:Planet 2: Rework continued -New and reworked puzzles. -Movement in general is faster and feels more like water -Should no longer be able to get out of the map - Landscapes now blend significantly better with the environment making the world feel more integrated. - Can now boost by zapping building with mining laser after finding upgrades on Planet 2. One available on first landing and another after getting later abilities. - New simple puzzle on planet 1 - Lava now looks less flat and more 3D on Planet 4 - Teleporters have been added to drop zones and at significant parts of the planets (ex: boss fight) and can be charged with lasers to use.

fixedBug Fixes:Crash on killing a monster fixed - Increased performance on Planet 2 and 4 by fixing some shadow and NPC issues. - Infinite floating after grappling as a non-host should be fixed. Please let us know if you continue to see it. - Potentially fixed Equipment UI not showing correctly on non-hosts. Please let us know if you see this! - Boost sound no longer plays for clients that are far away - Lobby UI now clamped correctly for wide screen - Fixed a hitch caused by polling players who had large friends lists - Flying a personal ship into space stops playing armory music - New planet 1 foliage shouldn't block the camera - Fixed drop pod markers persisting in center of ship when changing planets - Fixed waypoint/player markers disappearing when at a height differential - Fixed player waypoint not appearing when dropping out of minimum distance instead of visibility first
addedComing Soon:New Music System that should make it less repetitive - Localization
