Update 0.6.1 – On the road!

Hello, Engineers!
The release of 0.6 has been received very well. A lot of servers sprouted up, hundreds of people were playing multiplayer together, and we saw a peak of nearly a thousand players at the same time, the highest it’s been in several months. While you guys were playing, we were hard at work fixing all kinds of bugs, as well as improving the overall game. We released multiple hotfixes over the course of the week since the release, addressing most of the crashes, and the game is pretty stable again!

For today, we have a bunch of fixes prepared, including some of the most annoying bugs pestering the game. The AMD texture bug is resolved. We have solved the fast travel launches, so you can feel safe travelling again. In addition we have some small quality of life improvements, such as the pickaxe now has a secondary action for mining without returning the resources, and double-clicking on the map now triggers fast travel.

Enjoy the update!

– Fixed a crash with modded blocks without construction stage models.
– Fixed a crash with the rope tool.
– Fixed a crash with the hammer tool when a modded multiblock was missing the main block definition.

General Fixes:
