Hi everyone,

• Improved map fit when at minimum zoom
  
• On map, added ability to click visibility header icon to toggle all resources on or off
  
• Can now place standalone road post with [Alt]
  
• Fixed bug where occasionally at workshops resources would be allocated when there wasn't room, causing an error
  
• Fixed issue with trade ship departure if space port rules removed and resources destroyed whilst a bot is fetching a resource for sale
  
• Fixed cow farm field contiguous verification not always working correctly
  
• Fixed bug with loading game at exactly one game tick
  
• Fixed some pathing issues related to flat tiles that are the exact same height as sea level
  
• Fixed issue when pressing return on name editing not immediately focusing back to game
