    I do use a wrapper, but anything I can do to save some RAM would make me oh so happy.

    Great work team! Really awesome that you guys got Smooth McGroove to contribute his lovely voice to the game. :up:

    I think a lot of the community does appreciate the easter eggs (look how popular the "New Patch Discoveries" threads are), would it be possible to try and focus the patch notes into detailing the "big" changes, like engine changes or major overhauls, or things that would break most mods?

    Examples of "big" changes:
    - Tom Hanks is Big
    - Magma/Volcanic planets are more welcoming to tourists, but still not friendly
    - Balancing sweep on Sector X spears
    - Game Engine now allows for tech to be granted by Armor sets
    - Any performance changes (good or bad) that were noticed during development, or "Addressed some issues, should be better now!"
    - No Character Wipe!
    - No Universe Wipe!
    - No Ship Wipe!
    - Added toilet paper, please wipe!
    - Moved to London, had tea and scones

    Examples of "not big" changes that are neat to see in the patch notes, but not vital info:
    - All Monsters now use Bash, because it's the Monster Bash!
    - Human Biomes added
    - Tasty, tasty Avian villages added
    - New outfits, now you and three friends can do YMCA!
    - etc

    I think the community would really appreciate if the biggest changes that affect their game experience could be announced, so that they can focus on providing feedback on those areas, instead of guessing. Also, don't stop adding the fun stuff into patch notes, everyone likes seeing some "fun" notes!

    What a pleasant surprise! Better than waiting 2 weeks painfully for an update to come out, ignorance is bliss I guess.

    Edit: Also, can I get details on projectile changes and adding tech to armors? Does the update allow armor to basically run lua scripts now, or something else?

    Anyone know what the new avian weapons are?

    Creating an update package for my players is already time consuming enough with 70+ mods.

    With near daily updates, wont it become impossible to use mods since they will be perpetually out of date?

    I keep hoping for the update that brings automatic pushing of server side mods to clients.

    Is there any hope for future patch notes to let us know which mods have been officially incorporated into Vanilla SB?

    So there will be more biome content coming later this evening? Steam hasn't updated as I write this, will it all come at once for steam users?

    *Steam has actually updated, but the launcher still reads Furious Koala, I guess they'll fix that shortly

    Can someone please tell us in detail how we add the world backups we have made ? after the update? do we just drag the backup worlds into the new universe file?

    Can we get some information on how this stuff is supposed to work? Maybe a hint to the new items that were added? Are they craftable? Loot? What? I can't find anything to craft or drops in the first 4 tiers.

    Game crashed twice for me now. Trying to store something in my already full shipstorage while warping, doesnt seem to be a good idea :whoop:

    My launcher still says Furious Koala, shouldn't it say enraged? I got the download.

    Why are all the discussion threads re: the new update getting locked, and the mods redirecting people to this thread? Shouldn't there be a thread for the update in general discussion as well?

    Since the new patch, I've noticed that you must replace the beds to sleep in them.
