Patch Notes for Update 0.6.7

[p]Hi there prospectors,[/p][p][/p][p]Welcome to another update that introduces a new camera feature that's extremely useful when building bases and larger Techs.[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks as always for the invaluable feedback and bug reporting and we hope you enjoy playing this update.[/p][p][/p][h3]Camera focus on a Tech or structure block[/h3]

The camera will now focus on that block until you set the camera to focus on another block.[/p]
  • [p]This should make it easier when building bases and larger Techs.[/p]
