Fixes
- The Data Deck Workforce slider has been corrected to clamp at its limits and prevent unwanted scrolling
- Corrected a bug that allowed players to skip debt cycles by rapidly pressing the payment button
- Fixed floating equipment when loading a saved run
- The Quick Cola song issue is now actually fixed. It will no longer play after the machine explodes
- Restored train shutter sounds (they were inadvertently silenced in the last update)
- Addressed the bug allowing entities to open train doors. This *should* fix the issue
- We've made changes targeting the reported issue of players dying after using the elevator. This is a speculative fix, as we haven't been able to reproduce the bug on our end
- Fixed the shadow bleeding bug that was causing players to die randomly even after using medkits
- Fixed a bug where lantern warmth benefits could stack
- We've added Steam stat tracking for credits spent at the ECD Supply Officer. This was inadvertently omitted after the shop overhaul
