This update adds a bit of content, a few items, some research and compresses the timeline.
Also, a few fixes and optimizations. Before I go into detail with the changelog, however, I'd like to announce a followup game, called The Jovian System. It's still early in development but you can put it on your wishlist right now. I'll make a dedicated announcement here later.
Here is the breakdown of the 1.25 update.
