There are a lot of other tweaks. The game previously added some hideous “weather” types inanother recent update- sinister fog, sickening spores, and radiation leaks. But the fog turned out to be “too foggy” and has now been “reduced in intensity, just a bit”. The developers also spent some time optimising performance in some of the wonkier areas. “We tore apart some of the Sectors and put them back together in a way that allows smaller chunks of the areas to load,” say Deep Field Games in the update post. “We can’t promise we fixed all of the optimization issues some scientists have experienced, but we can guarantee one thing: we gave it a pretty good shot!”

So yeah, those are the highlights. The game’s community manager has edited togethera helpful and enthusiastic videocovering the most significant changes and additions.
