Main Build Update 0.5.195
Hey explorers! Yet another update this week for you. This latest version features a nifty way to reverse engineer items in your inventory. To try it out, use the Workbench to "Recycle" any item to various parts. So far we have found this to create interesting emergent gameplay scenarios and really gives the feeling of resourceful-ness while also contributing to a feeling of being "sciency".
Build Goals are now on a new Right Click menu to easily select and deselect buildables you are working towards. Building Structure Walls is faster and easier, and Tools now display their Harvest classification.
In addition to that we fixed up some loading and memory issues some people were seeing, plus added more polish and fixes along the way.
