Hey Beekeepers,

This is a maintenance patch for APICO to keep those pesky bees out of the cogs!
Mostly bug fixes and some multiplayer tweaks, thanks to everyone who's been reporting issues
A few MacOS players have reported crashes when trying to use mods - currently this issue is still present in this build.
These crashes are due to an issue with GameMaker and has been reported to them directly, so until they fix it MacOS players will not be able to run mods.

I've tried to find some temporary workarounds but unfortunately there isn't anything I can do about it my side - I'll keep you all posted and I'm very sorry for any inconvenience
