* Hot Bar:
You can now drag inventory items to the bar at the bottom of the screen and press the corresponding key during gameplay for fast equipping or unequipping.
The are four open slots by default but you can extend that to eight slots if you wear a bedouin belt or a cannana belt.
* Compass:
Now if you have a compass in your inventory you can see it in the top right of the screen. You can obtain the compass by buying, looting or crafting.
* Photo Mode:
You can pause the game at any point using "P" which is rebindable or L3 (Click the Left Stick) on the controller, move the camera around to frame your shot, change color filters, control camera depth of field and field of view and then capture that perfect shot that you can share on social media or on steam screenshot gallery. In addition to still shots you can also capture 360 panoramas.
Captured shots can be viewed from Main Menu->Community->Photo Gallery
* Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug that disabled cloud shadows
- Fixed a bug that prevented playing of surface dependent footstep SFX (Sand, Rock, etc..)
- Fixed Item weight bug reported here (Thank you Owen153 for reporting it)
