Hey explorers, while we have been focusing on player feedback polish this week we decided to make a push to get in a long time request: localization. I'm proud to announce we have localization about 80% in and functional and will be working to sweep up any remaining text in the coming weeks. If you read something in the game's UI that seems a little off in your language, please reach out to us with any suggestions you have.

Compass system got a massive update, marking version 3.0 of our Compass code. This update adds proper name stacking in the UI and massive performance and memory optimizations. Some tests we've conducted are showing up to 50% increases in frame rate and 20% overall memory usage, which may be pointing to the memory leak we've been tracking down for a while now. Players that were seeing 40-60 fps are now getting 80 fps consistently, so this is proving to be a big win for the development of the game.

We've also been tracking down lots of stability and bugs, adding as much polish as we can. The double vehicle issue in multiplayer has been found and cleaned up, along with the sinking structures. We also added "unstuck" buttons for realigning your player if you get stuck underground or in space, acting as a fail-safe in case something weird happens during gameplay. These fail-safes buttons are found in the "Feedback" panel.

Important Note - we also fixed the creature health and attack meters, which we found were not responsive previously. Be warned that if you've cranked up these meters on your creatures before they will now be much harder now!
