Here is a fairly substantial patch! I unfortunately had a big family camping trip planned this last week so these fixes were delayed a little but I've made some great progress on resolving issues the last few days. This patch as well as 0.6.11 are now on the default branch.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues and I will continue to fix them. There are still a few a few more that I'm aiming to resolve before fully moving onto 0.7 but I wanted to get this patch out now. As always, thank you everyone for reporting issues and helping make AutoForge better.

Surprise! Another small patch to fix a fairly major issue. Monster invasions strength was incorrectly being calculated which resulted in them being magnitudes stronger than they should be. Any existing monster waves will be wiped out on load and future waves will be significantly weaker. Apologies to those that got completely owned by these juiced up invaders. You are not bad at the game - we just were sending end game strength invasions at the beginning of the game...

Yet another small patch to address a pressing issue related to saves. Thank you to those helping out with reporting these issues and for your patience as I resolve them.

I am continuing to investigate a few crashes that some players are encountering as well as fixing a few other issues. If you do encounter an issue then please report it either on the Steam Forums or over on our Discord.
