I'm hoping this fix will stop what I've been experiencing - Introduced a significant memory optimisation for all platforms.

I don't see anything about the issue with water on moons pushing you up to the surface but thats still a large amount of fixes.

I hope space stations don't appear invisible anymore, my freighter no longer warps upside down or backwards and no longer need to log in multiple times for 4k settings to work properly.

I hope they fix puzzle text missing from terminals in abandoned facilities and such. I always have to end up googling what puzzle is being talked about just by the dialogue and the answer choices.

This is also the time for those that don't want to stay on experimental branch to return to normal branch as the two are in sync, well hopefully anyway.

[Floralwater]

Thank you.

Hologram for building was my biggest issue. Minotaur standing on his platform nice visual fix. Glad it's sorted now.

Thank you for the bugfixes. These are actually more appreciated than content additions.

Did the saloon music playing inside a player-base next to a settlement get "fixed" as well? I can't see it in the patch notes, but I found it to be a rather nice feature. I now miss having my chill tunes in my base.
Edit: never mind, I tabbed back into the game and it was playing again. Please don't fix this one! 🎶

[The Basement Berean]

Good Stuff!

Thank ya much for the update & tweaks, be nice to know I can actually end Sentinel activity in A place without having to tag A Pillar to do it.

[QuipSilver]

Man, I'm not used to play a game where bug fixes are dished out at light speed. You're making 99.9% of games look bad. (..and I'm here for it)

So we can play back and hear our library playlist creations on the bar juke box now?? I didn't know this!???

Would be fun to see the tune names scroll by on a small screen, translated into the alien heiroglyphic language in the game. ( no real need to know what it says, just be fun to work it out) :D
