Controller support

We've heard your requests for a more relaxed and comfortable gaming experience, and with this update, you'll have the option to play using a controller. We know that this feature is important to many of you, and we're excited to make it a reality. Please be aware that this feature is still a work in progress and will require further improvements to be fully polished. Get ready to dive into the island with ease and comfort. Known issue that came with controller support: Sometimes when you are moving and try to eat the character stops moving or changes running direction. We are working this issue.

Bug fixes

- Wooden boats should no longer teleport to other location if user jumps on it - Boat physics are now tied to the frame rate so they will behave almost same if playing in 60 fps vs 10 fps - Fixed the bug where lights would have massive blocks attach to them - Players should less often teleport to Sgt. Lake base camp upon connection to server. - Player will now receive error message if their network id is not set correctly and the server could not save their progression. Game restart should fix this issue - Fixed a bug where snow / rain did not go away after raining ended - Fixed a bug where you could teleport back to your boat by using ctrl + 1. - Players can no longer shoot structures from the farming island Heisala - Reworked some collisions on rocks to prevent players from getting stuck - Prevent player from teleporting out of the bunkers when entering the bunker - Fixed some warnings that popped up frequently in the server console
