    • Visual changes (fits with the rest of the UI)

    • Infinite timeline during playback

    • Universal (*) action get displayed and resolved differently during playback

    • Consistent performance regardless of program size, and a significant improvement to overall performance

    • Improved display of linked bot details

  2. New visuals and layout changes for the layout menu (placing down bots and stations) - bot icons are placeholder

  3. Changed recipe window icons to match new timeline approach

  4. New wireframe during level transitions.

  5. New font and UI pass to accommodate it.

  6. New companion tab icons

Here's how the "scanline" transition looks now with the wireframe:
