Player Soul Orbs will orbit your head showing off how bad ass you are! If you are killed and possess any orbiting Player Soul Orbs your killer will take ALL of the orbs!!
- Streamer Options: Hide Chat and Hide Player Names and Server Name. If any streamers want other options to help fight stream sniping please let us know! -SHOUTOUT: Lirik

BALANCE
- Wingsuit+, Monocycle+, and Jetpack+ blueprints now only will drop if you are an active pilot job lvl 10+ -SHOUTOUT: DoD] Death-Song
- Item attributes have arrived! Check out various items to see what attributes they show. (We will be displaying more and more attributes over time.)
- Area Text now shows the element visually along with the Bane Element. It should now be easier to see what Elemental Type would be best to use -SHOUTOUT: Rusty for the Bane Element Terminology
- Jetpack+ will now hover without needing to hold any button. -SHOUTOUT: DoD] Death-Song
- Drill Platforms now erupt the Elemental Essence of the area they are in
- Drill Platforms now erupt Dark Gaia Elemental Essence!
- Drill Platforms now drop Dark Gaia Equipment BluePrints! The blueprints that drop are based off the level of the area that the Drill Platform is built in.
- Upgrading a room or base item will now show what is going to be improved when upgraded.
- Partial Controller support. Replaced the commands that were doing debug operations. -SHOUTOUT: kevininferno
- Added commandline option: -FORCEMAXLODSIZE=<4096|2048|1024|512|256|128|64|32|16> to allow for people with lower amounts of RAM to reduce texture quality to run the game in a low RAM environment.
- When enabling/disabling anonymous logins a message will now display what setting is currently active. -SHOUTOUT: Rusty
- When an automated turret kills a player within range of a friendly data recorder, the kill will be logged. -SHOUTOUT: Rusty
- When first starting off only wood rooms are available to be built. All of the other rooms will drop as blueprints in the world. This helps the early experience to not just be overwhelming with tons and tons of room build options.
- Nearby area totems will now show up on the compass
- On PVE servers, Harvesters are now immune to damage for 2 game days when first placed. This is to address the issue of someone following you around and just destroying any Harvester you place and you being unable to do anything about it in a PVE ruleset. The owner can still self-destruct if they so desire.
- Reduce high level exo planet rotation time to 24 hours (was 36) -SHOUTOUT: Catwiesel1977
- You can no longer 'wade' in magma.
- Area Totems per planet per person are now limited. There is a player skill to increase the number of area totems you can control.
- Laser Fences no longer hurt other players in PVE -SHOUTOUT: Appogee
- Players can no longer build area totems which are completely encapsulated by rooms. The top must remain open. This is to allow area totems (and their corresponding taxes) to have a chance at being challenged by other players.
- Exo planet return portals will now be re-placed in the world each time the planet instance is started up.
