Notes

Floaties increase buoyancy in the water and aid in the prevention of uncontrolled Nautikin drownings, they are currently sold at the Portus buy shack. Store inventories do not display mass. Usersnames are now scrubbed from logs for a couple reasons, its not useful information for debugging purposes and some may not want their usernames exposed in order to report bugs. Reporting bugs should be encouraged and I have no need or desire for PC usernames, this is something that Unity generates automatically when referencing path names for saving / loading game files like settings and vessels. Additionally, any unknown log statements that may contain usernames in the form ".../Users/[Username]/AppData..." will simply display "[Username]" instead of the actual PC username. Worker hardhat and jumpsuit can only be obtained by rescuing Worker Nautikins Some user requests got pushed out of this build into the next build due to various required fixes of existing features and the amount of time that rescue activities consumed. Seems like outdated drivers may be causing a hard crash occasionally (unclear what the issue is), re-enabling the default logging to see if a crash dump shows up there, I sort of doubt it, make sure GPU drivers are up to date. Will probably disable again with next build. With new dynamic clipping, even when the view distance is set to max, it will be clamped unless at very high altitudes that require the ocean to be rendered very far away.
