Additions and Changes:

• More accessibility for basic interactions! A new setting will allow you to go into an interaction mode just by clicking (and exit by clicking again), instead of needing to hold the button down. We've added new, dedicated containers. Now you can sort and keep most popular items (like medical supplies) in a dedicated and visually distinct container.
  
• Equipment quality of life: you can now quickly move items from your hotbar to your inventory and back. Same works when interacting with containers!
  
• No more getting lost in the shelter! You can now place waypoint markers on the shelter's map to make it easier to navigate in the game.
  
• More information in the world map: old animals waiting to be rescued will be clearly marked as such.
  
• Animal fur and human hair will sway and move on the wind.
  

[h3]We’re also making progress on the black screen issue that some players encounter when trying to connect with friends. It’s a very elusive bug, but we’re getting closer to solving it – thank you for your patience! 🙏[/h3]

Additional fixes and changes

• Fixed disappearing garage door when upgrading the garage.
  
• Fixed issue where items could sometimes levitate after loading a save.
  

Every update brings us closer to making your shelters the best they can be!
