Barricade and Structure Changes:
Rather than freezing for several seconds when loading or unloading large bases in multiplayer, the work is now spread over multiple frames at a slightly lower framerate. This is hopefully better, but certainly not perfect yet. These improvements depended on the netcode rewrites from earlier this year, and likewise further improvements will depend on this update.

Big thanks to PandahutMiku for extensive help testing and providing feedback on these changes!
Server Monetization Rule Addition:
There was a minor addition to the server monetization rules: "Fictitious and deceptive pricing is not allowed. For example, lying that a discount is nearly expired, or pretending the price is discounted when it has never been at full price. We would strongly advise following Steam's discounting rules to help avoid breaking any real-world laws."
Unlike the previous rules there was no prolonged advanced warning period because this seems like an obvious rule that should not have needed explicitly stating.
