This is the first "real" release of an experimental build for Opis! (the first one being for bugfixes) This update includes a ton of things, mostly focusing on automation, general stability, and QOL.
Many of these changes were merged into the main branch in order to fix multiplayer issues, however they'll be reported on alongside these experimental releases and eventually the full release of 0.14.
Let me know on Discord or on Steam Forums how things are feeling balance-wise. I will continue to tweak things, add new buildings, and get this update ready for the 14th.
