Hey explorers! Experimental Branch is getting a fresh batch of stability fixes, along with some more missions to aid in learning the game's tech tree for new players. We've also been expanding the multiplayer persistency, such as a system that allows any client to continue saving it there is an unexpected drop.
Change List
Added - Multiplayer data safeguards to better persist through crashes of either host or clients
Added - Additional loading screen messaging for remote clients joining a host
Added - More robust system for syncing save data among all clients
Changed - Tweaked current mission set to lead the player through the tech tree
Changed - Very old legacy worlds will no longer be migrated to the new data system to better maintain stability of current saves
Fixed - Leaving an item inside the fuel window on objects such as the furnace will no longer prevent the fuel window from being accessible afterwards
Fixed - Sorting containers with multiple items in non-full stacks will no longer cause items to go missing or to be duplicated
Fixed - Crashes occurring during client joining or leaving should no longer cause data losses or duplication
Fixed - Logging out on other planets should no longer cause the player to spawn back in with their ship in orbit
Fixed - Spaceship crash handling has been further improved to reduce the instances a player will spawn back in without/far away from their ship
Well, that's it for this week. In the meantime, we 're moving full steam ahead on our next larger update. Enjoy!

I've always loved this exchange:
Cooper: Dr. Mann there's a 50/50 chance your gonna kill yourself.
Dr. Mann: Those are the best odds I've had in years.
