This one feels a little big to just call a hotfix, so I'm calling it a patch instead because it fixes a whole bunch of issues. The majority of these are directly thanks to all the bug reports sent in by player Samildannach -- big shoutouts and appreciation!
Changelog v0.7.9.5.3:
- Fixed several issues with Power Plant cave exploration
