Experimental update: Steam Workshop, x64, New terrain type, ...

The new update is a bit bigger and introduce a lot of new functionality and code changes, so I am still very suspicious about releasing it as a public default version.

On the other hand, I would like to let you try it while it is a holiday time, so I've decided to release it on experimental branch today and if you experience any issue, please report it to [email protected]. This option to let you play while still working on the update is the beauty of Early Access, right? :)

You can switch to Experimental in steam client - properties - beta versions - Experimental.

and now lets talk about news:

• Steam Workshop (first iteration)
  
• x64 build (downloads automatically according to your OS)
  
• New terrain type
  
• Silvester mod :)
  
• Tons of other smaller improvements and fixes
  

...and happy new year to everyone! 🥂🍾
