Patch notes:
- You can now phase through buildings while hovering in the air.
- The people have spoken. An overwhelming majority (88%) voted in favor. I personally think the challenge/puzzle of designing a traversable factory is interesting but also very frustrating.
- For those who still want to play the old way there's now a "Hard Mode" setting.
- Snow now vaporizes into Steam when burned.
- Queued buildings now block Water, and you can grab Water that is inside them.
- Dragging a button onto itself now clicks it instead of canceling.
- This was a big reason the buttons felt "hard" to click.
- You can no longer zip by placing blocks on top of yourself in rectangular mode.
- You can no longer build outside the map in the other dimensions.
- Added some fixes to the sound engine to mitigate crashes when too many sounds play at once (let me know if it still happens!).
- Many lighting improvements to reduce flickering.
- Water no longer deletes lava.
- You can now grab particles that are being launched (including ones stuck inside launchers).
- You can now grab Steam.
- Added some fixes for the "no menu buttons" issue due to corrupted meta data.
- Still haven't figured out the root cause though.
- Fixed a bug that deleted Gold when the Shaker was full.
- New saves will now have much more Redsand on the map.
- Refined and clarified many tutorial texts. Also added a new "Tutorial Finished" popup.
- Fixed bugs causing issues when pressing "Skip Tutorial" after partially completing it.
- The Grabber's Material Scanner upgrade now says "Interacts with:" to clarify what the emojis represent.
- Some people on Linux have reported that emojis are not showing.
- Added damage type indicator to all weapon descriptions matching the interaction texts.
- Added interaction text to Steam and Cinder.
- Updated some item descriptions for clarity.

I find it absolutely incredible that the demo hasn’t even been out for two weeks, and we already have people doing some insane stuff with the game! Hats off to the amazing talent in this community!
