Visual Improvements:
- -Mitigated an issue introduced in the new engine version that causes shadow flickering on surfaces at a distance.
Usability Improvements:
- -There are now progress bars on the food and water recyclers that indicate how long until the next food/water item will be produced.
- -There is now a small note on repair menus displaying the description of what each piece of equipment does.
Balancing Changes:
- -Crafting requirements significantly reduced for 'Vibro Hammer' and slightly reduced for 'Salvage Tool' and 'Crank'.
- -Slightly reduced the water recycler production down to 3.0 water per a day.
- -On Trainee: A few chemicals and some cloth will now be guaranteed to spawn next to the first 'Oxygen Scrubber'.
- -On Trainee: Random condition of the first 'Oxygen Scrubber' is also increased.
Misc Improvements:
