New: design and fly your own colony flag, with a 20-slot vault of saved designs

New: guided Tutorial colony, launchable from Singleplayer; solo fast-forward toggle to skip ahead

Pilot and camera feel overhaul: raw-pixel mouse look/pan, retuned sensitivity, clipped fog, crosshair on the cell underfoot, steps over small ledges; strategic camera now tilts as a rebindable setting

Build sites show remaining materials and only glow after dark with job-kind outlines; "pinned" work renamed "prioritized"

Hauling smarter: harvest chains across matching trees, stuck haulers stop re-claiming their own drops, nearby sites share a source

Hunger shown via a colored food field instead of a popup; released pilot bodies stay put and can be sent back to work

Animals cross colonist paths, population cut by a third, newborns spread into their own territory

Crash reporting overhaul: readable logs with more context, opt-in contact info, offered on next launch

Multiplayer: pausing for reports/summaries no longer freezes other players, joins/leaves announced, piloted colonists show the correct tool

Terrain, pathing, and sound polish: cliffs settle cleanly, no stray ramps, short paths don't count as arrival, rebalanced audio mix and impact sounds
