I know, it's been a
long time since the last release. There have been a lot of questions about progress over on Discord and with some encouragement I was convinced to just go ahead and push out a new release even though it's not showing the feature set I really wanted.
That stated, this build has a
lot of under the hood changes but there's also significant changes on the user-facing side including re-balancing of structure/robot costs, operating costs, and the partial implementation of the research tree.
We also had a number of contributors that helped to fix a few bugs and improve usability in a number of areas! Their contributions are marked, thanks for the help everybody!
