This is a small patch that fixes a couple of small memory leaks and also a rare crash.

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed two small memory leaks from liquid drops and interpolated object positions
  
• Fixed a rare concurrency crash that could occur when calculating tile inaccessibility across chunk boundaries

This is a small patch that fixes a couple of rare crashes and small memory leaks. Thank you very much to everyone on the Discord that has helped to find these :)


[h2]Simulation[/h2]

• Slightly improved performance of simulations that modify entities (such as buildings, items, and explorers)
  
• Explorers will now walk up to doors to open them, rather than sometimes opening them from a distance
  
• Fixed a bug where light levels were incorrectly calculated for cells two or three tiles away from a light source
  
• Background buildings such as wires and pipes can no longer be built if they are suddenly covered by a solid element
  

[h2]Quality of life[/h2]

• Further improvements to object selection: when on an overlay layer, any relevant buildings will now have a higher selection priority (e.g. selecting wires when the power overlay is visible)
  

[h2]Internal[/h2]

• Hovering over the world clock now displays the "time of day" in the game world, rounded down to 15 minute intervals (e.g. 12:45)
  
• A new world starts day 1.0 at 12:00pm
  
• Wire bridges can no longer be built on top of other buildings' power points
  
• Renamed "Materials" to "Elements"
  
• Split "powered" building tag into "generates power" and "consumes power" in the in-game database
  
• Re-ordered each build panel building category, so common buildings such as wires and pipes are always at the top
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed a crash when trying to render buildings with a very small game window
  
• Fixed a very rare crash that could occur when trying to load game databases at startup
  
• Fixed a bug where sometimes connecting a power wire would not update power network status until a nearby building or element changed
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur if a DIG errand remained on a tile that no longer held a diggable element or plant (for example, from an element phase change)
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur if a plant uprooted itself while it was actively being harvested
  
• Fixed a couple of small rendering memory leaks from particles and mass packets
  

This is a small patch that fixes a few crashes that slipped through our tests, and also slightly improves the rendering performance of all user interfaces. Thank you for reporting the crashes on Discord!


[h2]Internal[/h2]

• Improved rendering performance of all user interfaces by ~10%
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed a crash if the game window was resized to smaller than 80x80px while the game was loading
  
• Fixed a crash if an explorer was selected from the top bar before the explorer had been rendered for the first time
  

This is a small patch that fixes a few bugs, but also adds a better way to select items in the world. I'd love to hear your feedback on these changes!

[h2]New features[/h2]

• Improved object selection
  
  
  
  • Objects in the game can now be selected more precisely, with non-square, non-integer selection bounds
    
  • Selecting a tile now prefers the tile itself (such as oxygen or vacuum) over any background building (such as a background panel)
    
  • Currently selected objects, and about-to-be-selected objects, are now highlighted
    
  • If the mouse cursor moves while an object is selected, doing another selection now skips the current object, since it's unlikely you actually want to re-select the existing object
    
  • Added selection animation
    

[h2]Internal[/h2]

• Selected plants now clearly describe "needs" and "currently" for their growth requirements
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Meteors are no longer selectable
  
• Fixed a bug where explorers could get in a loop when trying to move to food while carrying another resource
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur if an explorer was eating some food while also carrying a different food
  

Thank you very much to our community testers who found some of these bugs :)
