Hey Colonists!

The last patch addressed the memory leak and stutter problem, but many of you reported issues with creating the Piranha Drone and the unrefiner with the update. This patch will let you craft your Piranha drone without issue.

As for the unrefiner, it isn't technically implemented in the game yet despite the PGP mailing you one along with the blueprint. Someone at PGP must have snuck it into the outgoing mail without us knowing. The unrefiner will be fully implemented in the next update!

Check out the patch highlights and notes below to see all the improvements, fixes, and changes.
