New Features
Added Flashlight (Beta) — You can now light up dark areas! Default key: F (remappable)

Improvements & Changes
Radial Menu Improvements:
Hold Q to open, hover over a weapon, then release to equip.
No more clicking to select or close — it’s smoother than ever.
Consumables Removed from Radial Menu:
They’re easier to use directly from your inventory.
Classic Weapon Switch Key is Back!
Default: 1 (remappable in settings).
Added Quick Heal Button
Default: 2 — instantly consumes a healing item.
Renovation Dependencies:
Some renovations now require others first (e.g., can’t craft solar panels without an inverter, or greenhouses without garden beds).
Melting Station Relocated
Now found in the Auto Repair Shop (was in the nearby hangar).
Bug Fixes & Minor Tweaks
-Fixed music volume slider not always reacting properly.
-Various resolution, VSync, and graphics setting improvements.
-Updated a story note — the bunker key is in one of the rooms, not specifically the server room.
-Sleeping now correctly advances Fishing Nets and Farm Bed progress.
-Increased in-house storage capacity (30–50 per storage).
-Improved collision at Forest Tower — you can now walk up wooden stairs normally (no more jumping needed!).
