• Improved game pad support on launch menu
  
• Performance improvement: Added a system for fully despawning decorator sets as you move away from them.
  
• Slight GPU performance improvement to terrain (use 16 bit indices)

• Researching an item when you have already researched all recipes will no longer "use up" that item in regards to when future updates add new recipes.
• It will now also give you a resource.
  
• Fixed several issues with how decorator states were saved and restored.
  
• Fixed race condition causing occasional anomalous terrain generation.

• Fix save game issue where conduits nubs don't disappear after a save game and using dynamite on the leaf
  
• Updated oxygen tank fill looping sound. Fixed Xbox bug that caused it top play at full volume.

Also - a big shout out to everyone that helped us test this patch on the Experimental branch of the game! Don't forget to opt out of the Experimental before playing.

If you're curious what we've been up to and are wondering when more substantial "things to do" updates will come to Astroneer, check out some of our latest blog posts.
