This Update has been a long time coming.
But more exciting and fun changes are in the works.
Coming soon:

- Probes and Drones. From scanning for anomalies to mining, a bit of autonomy is always useful in space.
- Building more rooms is coming. The code needs to be perfect before it's released so it's still on hold.
