This update is just some minor tweaks and fixes after playtesting the last update more fully.

• Improvements:
  
  • Re-enabled smoothing on Black Hole shader
    
  • Angle player missiles so that more of the missile is visible.
  
  
• Fixes:
  
  • Fix issue where completed Game Mode Rank for Challenge and Timed Modes was not being tracked properly
    
  • Fix issue with Cleared Normal Mode Missions not showing as Cleared on the Mission Panel.

June updates for the open playtest - A lot of these are shared with the demo.

Additions:
- Added the character editor and save system

- Added some new enemies and traps

Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where your weapon may not equip correct after loading your save

- Fixed some texture issues where some settings were applied to the wrong material
- Fixed the damage numbers in the inventory
- Leveling attributes is now easier and works more consistently
- Stone magic projectiles have been optimized to fix some weird edge case issues
- Ice magic projectiles have been optimized to better follow your aim trajectory
- Using plant magic's thornwire will now only connect to a single other plant, as previously you could exponentially make new plants and crash the game
- Thornwire no longer hurts the player
- Wood magic (Thorns) no longer hurts the player and you can stand on it
- Fixed several of the Otter's animations
- Certain clothing will no longer disappear when sneaking
- Fixed the 'left run' animation as it made the camera bounce a lot
- Added blocks in certain sections as the player could accidentally get themselves stuck
- It is now more difficult to regenerated stamina while swinging with the grapplehook, making extending grappling a bit more difficult
- Fixed some issues with various cliff collision
- Unarmed punching should now have arm's length of range and do basic damage
- The player in the Character editor can now be properly rotated with the gamepad
- The escape menu now works much better with the gamepad
- Fixed an issue where you might end up with the wrong face after exiting the editor

- Fixed some weird replication issues with certain enemies

Changes:
- Removed cel-shading from NPCs as it caused unexpected performance issues
- As requested, the lamp flicker is now much smoother
- Disabled some VFX temporarily until we figure out some performance quirks we've ran into with them
- You can now attack/magic with only 1% stamina (previously it required a minimum amount)
- Updated wall candles
- Gave the editor example character all the same clothes regardless of race as it was previously confusing to see it changed when you finished customizing the character (Except for otters, for obvious reasons)

Release date is getting nearer and nearer, and these events allow us to have more eyes on our game... Which is good, right?

But what if those eyes are red, like the ones from certain cryptid we all know and love?

* Added ability to reorder recipes in machines. If a machine has more than one recipe ready to be performed, it will pick the top-most one.
* All enabled recipes are now on top of the list, before all disabled ones.
* Removed power requirements from distillation towers, they are now fully powered by steam (steam consumption may be increased in the future). This should allow making diesel even when power is out, making recovery from certain situations easier.
* Added ability to follow vehicle with camera, use button on the top of its inspector window to enable.
* Fixed oil rig production rates estimation.
* Further decreased severity of diseases and increased minimal delays.
* Diseases have now reduced mortality but increased health penalty, so that players can combat them with increased health and edicts (hospitals are still very important to have).
* Fixed asynchronous save that now properly waits for save to finish writing all data to disk before announcing save completion. Also added an error message with helpful info in case save failed.
* Slightly increased camera pan speed (fix from previous change).
* Updated translations, thanks to everyone who is contributing!
