Hey ArkCoNauts!
After much work, feedback, testing, and bug fixing, the UI overhaul is now live on the main branch! The testing on the opt-in branch allowed us to do several more hotfix patches, and to correct many of the issues people spotted. Given the massive amount of work that went into this re-write, things may have slipped through the cracks, so if you find bugs, issues, or have feedback to share, please post and let us know! This is still a major transition time for the game, so we do expect a few more hiccups here and there before it’s fully complete. I am compiling the patch notes for the original UI Overhaul Patch, plus the hotfix patches that were pushed to opt in, so that you have a handy reference for all that’s changed. Please note that the most recent notes are new with today’s patch, and the previous ones are dated accordingly. Players no longer need to opt in to play this content.
The UI can now be custom modded by players.
