Fixes

• Optimized UI for increased performance on lower spec systems

• Fixed issue with color correction causing strange screen colors on some video cards

Thanks for the report. I have not had any reported issues of game crashes related to the bio-refiner. The botanist profession now handles crafting at the bio-refiner. Are there any specific steps to recreate the game crash?

My bad, didn't notice the change. Either way, should be super replicable--just queue up a few of the three building materials and wait for the game to hang, then crash.

Quite strange indeed. I queued up 10 or each (Resin/Plastic/Cloth) and they completed the entire batch of 30 items without an issue. I'll see if I can get the crash to replicate with different combinations as it appears to be something specific that triggers it.

Edit:
Looks to be related to queuing items you don't have enough resources to craft. Got a hard lock by queuing up cloth, as well as resin, before having the ingredients to make cloth. Now I just need to fix it. :)
