Greetings scientists!

A few more beta hotfixes for you:

FIXES:

• Pipe Sockets were removed from the build. Temporary change.
  
• Mantis Gland now appears in the Studies Menu
  
• Mantis Gland now appears as a cause of Hemorrhagic Fever in the Studies / Virus Sample Analyzer menu
  
• The quest for finding Noah’s notes and Mantis Glands has been re-worded for clarity. Changed to “Get” instead of “Find”
  
• Noah’s Notes will respawn on all Underdust locations until picked up - this ends the “Find traces of Noah in Tunnels Under the Dust” quest
  

CHANGES:

• Simple Insect Lure balance - rotten food should be less probable to catch
  

Another day, another improvement hotfix:

• Sprinklers - Directly connected sprinklers (no pipes in between) should restore the proper state after loading the save
  
• Plant pots can now only be placed on the floor and tables, not walls and ceilings
  
• A new quest was added for saves that have already completed the first Underdust section. This “backwards compatibility” quest will bring players Immunity Status in line with players playing from a new save.
  
• Performance tweaks
  

Thank you, playtesters!

• Big Garden Pots - fixed problems with fruit regrowth on saves from build 1.5.0 #27546
  
• Infected Shed on a Greenhouse Tower location - fixed infected gnarls and roots damage that killed the player instantly
