The Hitch Update
This update introduces a new component: the Hitch. It allows you to connect two or more vehicles using a free joint, ideal for trailers, articulated modules, or towed structures.
The current version of the Hitch is fully unconstrained, with complete freedom of movement on all rotational axes. In the future, we plan to introduce movement constraints to offer more realistic and controlled articulation for specific use cases.
Hinge and Pivot components can now be manually controlled via the GetInfo (V) interface, without requiring power or data.
Archeans dedicated server is now available via SteamCMD, making it easier to install and update on any hosting setup. (AppID: 3557220) [hr][/hr] Full changelog:

* Engineering Sandbox
* Solo or Multiplayer
* Open World
* First person
* Space Sim
* Full size Earth and Moon
