This v1.0.12 update builds on last weeks QoL additions and focuses on the trade routes. You can now change the order of trade stops within a trade route. This should help with untangling and optimizing trade routes. Something else you might notice, the trade routes now use small

This is a relatively minor update. But I did want to get these fixes out while I'm working on the next, bigger patch. The Cargo Ships are now better distributed over all available landing pads. The previous patch already had some fixes to handle collisions better. But this will h

More than a few players have reported issues with camera movement and zoom. Over the last week I've uploaded a few beta updates and with your feedback the camera controls feel much better now. Thanks for your feedback and patience with this annoying issue! The full changelog for
