The new self destruct option on built machines accidentally removed the Crusher manual Jettison capability. Decided to add an auto-jettison after 30 seconds idle functionality while restoring manual jettison. Speaking of jettison - CUBO is now going to stop repeating that you must jettison items when trying to take off. That message should only ever appear once from now on.

• Restored overwritten Surface Crusher Jettison option
  
• Added auto-eject after 30seconds of sitting idle to Surface Crusher
  
• CUBO “you must jettison” text will now only ever show once
  
• Mining Laser “3” shortcut now cycles through equipment when pressed again
  

Cube Corp wishes you a prosperous weekend!

Here are some more bug fixes and quality of life improvements with a major feature that was mistakenly forgotten in the March update - the Self Destruction feature. Now you can have unwanted building explode with a few clicks to salvage their iron.

• Added Self-Destruct option to all constructions
  
• Fixed broken text in Shuttle Equipment Upgrade
  
• Polished up Gravity Well - slight animation, knockback for Command Bot, SFX added
  
• Destroying an initialized Gravity Well now ends the timer delay effect
  
• Fix to Workerbot failing after crane unload
  
• Fix to drilling sound that would sometimes continue to play after the Drill was destroyed
  
• Mining Laser “3” shortcut also deploys Forcefield and Batttery
  

As always! Cube Corp wishes you a prosperous day!
