ExoColony Major Update to version 0.80

Hello Colonists!

We are excited to announce the release of Major Update of ExoColony: Planet Survival!
Please note that this update BREAKS previously SAVED GAMES.
We have maintained save compatibility since September 2024, but recent changes such as building size adjustments made it no longer feasible. To avoid future disruptions, we’ve bundled all breaking changes into this update and do not plan to break save compatibility again going forward.
Thank you for your continued support!
