UI Milestone Update — Build Smarter, Smoother, Prettier!

[p]Hey everyone![/p][p][/p][p]We’re excited to finally release our UI Milestone Update, the result of a huge behind-the-scenes rework!
[/p][p][/p][p]While much of the work in this patch is foundational (setting us up for the next two major updates), we’ve also packed in several long-requested improvements and visual upgrades that you can enjoy right now:

🧱 New Features & Improvements[/p]

• [p]✅ New Building Selection Wheel A long-time community request is here: Easily access building categories and specific elements using intuitive radial wheels—no more reshuffling the skill bars for building.[/p]
• [p]⚙️ UI Performance Overhaul
  We’ve significantly improved navigation speed and responsiveness across the board. Expect a smoother feel when opening menus or switching tabs.[/p]
• [p]🚧 Prefab & Wall Building Performance
  Improved speed and responsiveness when placing complex prefabs or long walls.[/p]
• [p]🌸 New Prefabs[/p]
  • [p]Wooden Passage[/p]
  • [p]3 Wooden Ramps[/p]
  • [p]Decorative Flowers from all 3 kingdoms 🌼🌸🌺[/p]
• [p]📖 Reworked Skill Book UI[/p]
  • [p]Clearer drag-and-drop indicators[/p]
  • [p]Clearer Sub-skill tree indicators[/p]
• [p]💥 Destruction Visuals & Performance
  All 130 building elements now have updated destruction physics, with better performance and smoother transitions.[/p]
• [p]📖 Ingame Credits: Many of the best ideas in the game come from you, the players! We've added a credits section to the game where you can see who's behind the various things we've added during the early access phase so far. (Have we forgotten you? Shoot us a DM on Discord!)[/p]

[h3]🐞 Fixes & Polish[/h3]

• [p]Telekinesis now spawns the right cube type instead of always dirt[/p]
• [p]Fixed a rare crash when hovering skills in the skill book[/p]
• [p]Fixed wall cost refund bug when placing prefabs inside walls[/p]
• [p]Fixed skeleton not spawning in tutorial (ːsteamfacepalmː!)[/p]
• [p]Smoothed out the Wasteland Shepherd’s movement[/p]

[p][/p][h3]⚠️ Important Note: Save Game Compatibility[/h3][p]Due to extensive internal system changes, previous save games are not compatible with this patch. We know it’s a pain—but it’s a fresh start for a much more stable and expandable game foundation.
