Update 0.1.5

Greetings Cutters,

We are back this week with an important update bringing to you the new Science Gecko, Traditional Chinese localization as well as Configurable Gamepad binding. Cutters will also be happy to know that their helmet has been scrubbed so well by our LYNX Chief Visibility Officer that they will be able to enjoy brand new volumetric light inside ships.

Expert Cutters will be quick to notice new structural protectors appearing on ships. Of the many rigors placed on a ship as it travels through space, extreme temperature fluctuations and good old wear n’ tear are considerable challenges for any vessel’s key structural elements. To help keep a ship in one piece, sometimes structural Cut Points are outfitted with a Cut Guard. This condensed foam compound keeps a Cut Point’s temperature and humidity level consistent and manageable.

⚠️ LYNX advises Cutters to use caution, as Cut Guards are resistant to the heat of the Laser Cutter. However, they are highly combustible, and will burn for a considerable amount of time if ignited. The recommended salvage process is to break apart the Cut Guard with a heavy impact in order to expose the Cut Point underneath.
