Hey Astro Colonists!
In preparation of a major content update "Life of a Colonist", I just published another improvement and stability update. Below, you can check what actually changed in the game.
Thank you guys, for reporting bugs and cases with lower than expected performance.

UI HUD elements are reordered. For example, the hotbar appears on top of every interaction window. This allows a player who uses 130% UI to be able to drag construction items to the hotbar.
