Well, Alabaster coming at you for what may be the last time in a while.

We've heard news from the higher-ups that someone big wants to take over a large chunk of the project and redesign it from scratch, so after this update, they're not going to be making more until that's done, unless something big breaks.

So, uh. With that out of the way, on to the changes? Yeah.

Aeroponics tubes have been given a new description that should hopefully point to the fact that they don't need watering, so no more wasting water from your cans on this stuff.

They've also tried to make more things compatable with the 3d printer, but aren't sure how well they did. But the Nanoloom recipes are now known to all species, so there's that too.

A few things that were locked behind the upgraded Farming Table no longer require that upgrade, instead being available from the regular Farming Table.

Your shotguns have a new look as well, and SAIL will now go through his full speech. You'lll even find your large cargo containers have gotten a better inventory packing system! Much larger.

Well, uh... This is Alabaster, signing off. ... I'll miss you guys.

Alabaster here, and THIS IS IT, folks, the one you've all been waiting for!
I've just gotten a memo straight from upper management, and with this update, they feel that enough issues have been resolved that they're ready to come out of their hiatus!

In this update, lots of weapons have been renamed. You'll have to remake them, folks, sorry, but it's for the greater good: Utilizing a new feature in .recipe files, we've been able to take the previous 6 unique items per gun and condense it into only one! Level (And thus damage and energy consumption) are now set by the recipe, rather than the item file!

Speaking of recipes, almost all of them are properly functioning now, with, hopefully, ZERO instances of that coveted Perfectly Generic Item. I've got quite a few of those myself. They really ARE perfect.

You'll find that your elevators have vanished, sadly, but that's also for the greater good! Introducing.... AVALI RAIL PLATFORMS. Aerogel-based, upper management didn't let the elevators go to waste, with parts of them being reincorporated into this new system. Rails are a lot more flexible and featureful than elevators ever were, and we do hope that you all enjoy! You can find these at the Rail Crafting Table, which in turn is obtained from the tier 3 Inventor's Table.

With those announcements out of the way, on to the reason you've all been waiting for this particular update: Upper management has decided to come out of their hiatus, which means NEW CONTENT is coming! They want me to tell you that Content Updates will be coming a lot less frequently than before, but bug fixes will be appearing hot off the presses roughly once a week.

Finally, on to that point you've all been missing me hear repeat over and over, issues belong in the Github, and suggestions in the Trello! I also feel inclined to tell you that they're going to be a LOT more selective about which suggestions actually make it into the game, and probably a lot more secretive about what they're working on.

That's all I've got for you, enjoy the update!

Removed the elevator, replacing it with a rail platform (It's an upgrade, trust me.)

A few other tweaks I can't think of right now.

Fixed a lot of recipes to make them craftable and available to the player

(Hopefully) fixed NPCs, but maybe not

All 2-handed avali weaponry now has alternate abilities (Rebalancing will come later)

Fridges and beds now function like vanilla fridges and beds

There's probably more but I'm tired and can't think of it.

Added previous update's recipes to list of default known recipes

Moved a few recipes to the farming table because the new nanolathe doesn't have them
