The optional Test Build branch is for testing the latest features before they go live to everyone. As it is a testing version there can be more bugs/issues than in the normal version. If using the Test Build branch, please report any issues you encounter or any feedback on new game play mechanics.

Not a major thing, but twice in my current game I have encountered a POI marker that does not disappear after being visited/extracted.
S&Rl fixes it, though..
If it's relevant, this game is still the one I was playing on the EXP Branch before the move across....

Thanks for the report. Shouldn't be an issue using an existing save from experimental, but good to know regardless. Do you recall what the POI was that you encountered that didn't remove itself?

Best I can do is describe it:- Point down, Egg shape with tiny 'o' in the centre... :)

Edit :- I may have spotted an issue with dropped bed assignments - it's only a few - but have now reassigned all colonists beds and will keep an eye on it..
