☀️ = Fixes & Improvements Based on Community Feedback

New:

• Implemented two new cutscenes (Visitor and Clue).

• Implemented building animations for Filter Building, Alien Trader spaceship, Super Factory, Slime Extractor.

Improvements:

• Improved direct rover controls with WASD or the left joystick.

• Added UI scaling for Quest Bubbles, New Quest Icons, and Quit Confirmation.

• Building level is now shown in the screen edge tooltip when hovering over a building.

• Component Lab, Electronics Factory, Forge, Nuclear Lab, and Bakery now require cooling in Cinnakeet.

• The Free Play Mode trader no longer offers purchasable buildings as rewards - it now prefers rewards that are limited but still available (e.g. plants).

• Improved edge rotation when driving the rover.

• Reduced default quest icon size to 80% of the original.

• Added star system map panning with WASD.

• Added save game backups as a fallback for when save files are corrupted.

• ☀️ Save data is now stored in a directory that includes the Steam User ID, allowing multiple Steam profiles to keep separate save files on the same device.

Note: On the first launch with a new profile, existing save data in the general directory will be copied into the user directory. This may take a few seconds.
