Hey, this update is a little bit rushed because of the sale we had lined up with the festival.
I'll write a proper community post in the next few days. There are quite a few things to talk about.
Unfortunately, the new map locations (random upgrade or data node) still don't have visual effects attached, and there are some UI issues, like missing UI tooltips or Depth/Difficulty widgets. These are all minor and were not worth delaying the update (I hope).
Please, let us know if you encounter any bugs. Updates like this are unnecessarily stressful.
