Hey Everyone,
And we continue with another important update today, with a few critical fixes and some new features. With this update you can finally log out while in a moving space and ground vehicle and be back inside once you log back in. This fixes all the issues with getting stuck under a vehicle or in space.
We have also fully fixed and polished repair hammer, so you can finally repair your base now. Keep in mind that some building blocks like ceiling, foundation and landing pads can`t be fixed yet, but this will be fixed by Monday.
We also started on the big performance update, and are working towards eradicating all the performance problems by Monday.
As always, thanks for your support, and we can finally say we are back on track after the bad month we had with so many things being broken due to huge back-end updates we had to do.
And so lets take a look at Update # 23:
