Main Build Update 0.5.196

Hey explorers! OK, so we've been looking into this 0% loading issue and found a couple of reasons this may be happening for some players. Not only did we solve these, but we added more detail in the loading sequence so that you can clearly see where the game is with loading of data. If after getting this update you are still having problems please contact our support here. We want to help.

As exciting as load meters are, we've done a bunch more since Friday. Lots of various clean up throughout the game, including adding back in the creature health indicators (though we may eventually make this a suit upgrade) and Drone controls on the map are working again (our bad on that one, slipped through the cracks!). Here's the full list:
