[h3]Howdy builders,[/h3]

A hotfix patch has just dropped, please see the checklist below:

• Fixed some issues that were caused by the Yakmel milk after the mission: A Fake Friend.
  
• Fixed some issues with the consumption items for the Refiner.
  
• Fixed a few placement issues in the mission: A Window to the Cosmos (if you still have issues, go to bed and it should be resolved the next day).
  

Many thanks for the feedback; More hotfixes and optimization are in progress.

Howdy builders,

Early hotfix patch may lead to a bug that your items in the tool bar and backpack would disappear.
Please follow these steps to solve this problem:
1, Exit the game
2, Load the save
3, Drink/abandon the Yakmel milk from the quest: A Fake Friend

We're sorry for the inconvenience, and we'll try to fix it as soon as we can.

Thanks for playing Sandrock.
