Features:

• Changed how the camera bounds work so that the player is no longer locked exactly within the bounds of the playable hex shapes and can move the camera slightly outside them.
  
• Added fixes to the butchery to rebalance the storage sizes to more correctly match the ratio of the recipe from breaking down a pig.
  
• Added blocks for jobs that would overflow a crafting buildings storage to not get queued, but if for some reason they still do, to have the overflow drop resources on the ground so none are lost.

Bug Fixes:

• Added some code fixes for a crash related to tavern hero abilities, and a second fix related to treks.
  

Thank you for your continued support and feedback!
