Dear Players,

We're aware of the issue when your whole vault gets stuck and you can't move anything around
It's connected to whistling in the vault or pressing 'T'.
We're working on a fix for this, but the problem turned out to be way bigger than we expected
Currently no eta on a fix for this

Our only current recommendation is rebinding whistle to a button that you don't use in vault, sorry for any inconvenience connected to this
