[h2]Community feedback changes[/h2]
Thank you to everyone for participating in our last Multiplayer Demo during Steam RTS Fest! We received a lot of great feedback from the community during this demo and we've made some changes to address some of the most common feedback. We've outlined the changes made below.

• Zoom distance increased:
  This change is available in our Skirmish mode; this is not available in our campaign due to the way our missions are designed.
  
• Rebind Build Grid Menu:
  We received a lot of feedback about our default hotkeys and addressed a frequent request to be able to rebind the Build Grid Menu; we're currently working on adding more rebind options for the future.
  
• Improved Harvester behavior:
  GDF Harvesters will now go to the nearest refinery and will also queue if that is the fastest option. If too many units are queued, they will travel to the second closest refinery.
  
• Improved visibility of Ammo and Health bars:
  This change was made to improve the readability of key unit info during matches.
