I have fixed a few more bugs that Real_Bytes_Gaming found on her Twitch stream. Planetary Settlers is streaming tonight at midnight (technically 1/25/2021) Eastern Standard Time at: https://www.twitch.tv/real_bytes_gaming

Bug fixes include:
- Fixed issue with brightness on Uranus and Neptune (now it doesn't get extremely dim when looking near / at the sun, but it now properly dims a little bit). Brightness throughout the two levels is also better.
- Mostly fixed character facing the wrong way when exiting portals.
- Updated the controls menu to include the new ability to use the F key (or E key), whichever you desire, as the action button.
- On Uranus: made ship engine flames less laggy, and turned them off when parked. This prevents the lag spike that was observed in the last stream in the hanger. Feature updates include:
- Updated title screen with the vast majority of the title screen visible now (and not hidden by the game saves menu). Click the Game Saves menu, then make your selection - as before, or Resume Game to resume your current game.
- Updated Credits page
- Clarified Nanites are what gives you your ability points - it shows up in the menu now as Ability Points (Nanites). They are microscopic robots that can be used to upgrade Blue-42's abilities, and are able to be re-allocated as desired in the abilities tab.
Here's a tip for those that have made it this far: It can be a big help to adjust your ability points to meet the current challenge, like, for a race, you can turn down things you don't need at the time, and max out speed.
A second tip: Speed also affects your speed in the air! If you need more control in the air, try to max your speed out. If you need more (or less) lift, adjust your jet pack. Enjoy!
