DEV NOTES ON WORLD CHANGES:
Although this change seems minimal it will greatly change how the map looks and feels. With the new cliff meshes a whole new avenue for possible base locations and interesting points of interest are opened.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PLAYERS WITH EXISTNG SAVES:
For players with existing saves it is important to note that this change modifies a lot of pre-existing locations which could interfere with already built player bases. Although you will be able to reload your save after this update your base may be 'meshing' into the new environment details. Depending on how this effects your save it is recommended that players start a new game. (A tip, Bases built in open spaces should be fine but ones built near the edges of the map might see collision issues.)
