Repeated intro

Hey Everyone, The past few days I have worked hard on getting all the nessesary building setup so we can have a Mac / Linux / Steam OS version of the game built and uploaded to steam. All these platforms are really expermental and we don't suggest purchasing the game for that platform until it's more stable. When the platform is ready to go and more stable, we will mark the game to support Mac / Linux / Steam OS with System Requirements on the Steam Store page. There are various issues like crashing, performance problems, terrain shaders not working correctly or texture rendering problems that will hinder your already early access experience. While these platforms will also let you play with other Windows users / on Windows Servers if your game is at the same build as the Windows version. Hopefully by next patch we should be able to sync up the version of all the platforms and everyone on all platforms should be able to play with other. Please feel free to discuss the Mac and Linux versions of the game on our discord server in the #mac and #linux channels. #mac: https://discord.gg/0lGZKDGlkAqNLgr8 #linux: https://discord.gg/0lGZKDGlkArr0PiO
