Dev Notes:

We plan to make some final tweaks before releasing live as 0.35.3. Overall the game should be very stable now. Recommend using a new save with this version to get a fun challenge from the game. Old saves still are good, but it’ll feel more like a cheat file now that the numbers have really come down. We want get a good solid stable version out before we work on the next set of experimentals. Which will be some big content drops!

Thank you,
