Bug Fixes:

• Added a better crash logger
• Fixed a bunch of rare crashes
• Added auto-run option in the settings menu
• Fixed some issues with saving
• Fixed a bug that would dupe tiles with the firestarter
• Fixed an issue that would cause some items to get lost

• Fixed minor artifacting on asteroids on main menu
• Fixed a crash related to not having a sound device
• Fixed a bug that would copy inventory from one character to another when switching characters
• Tweaked lighting above ground a bit to make it more natural

Gameplay Changes:

• Made the torch equippable, shows up in the gadget slot (slot 4), equip it and right click on a background tile to attach it.
• Changed behavior of some mobs to stop them from piling up quite so much.
• Spitter spit no longer affects spitters
• Mobs should no longer spawn anywhere that has a player-placed background.
• Tweaked mobs to make them spawn in less annoying places (Shouldn't spawn in the pod or on inorganic materials)
• Scissors and saw now require copper instead of iron
• Capped the width/power of the laser pistol
• You can now swing melee weapons through platforms
• Brick oven now requires bricks instead of brick slabs to craft
• Pod no longer automatically generates on existing worlds after you've destroyed it
• Added item drop on death toggle, press "t" to open the console, then type /toggledropitems
• Added a toggle command to disable mob destruction, /togglemobdestruction
• Added brick/mud brick smelting recipes
• Upped drop rate of biofuel on pupa and saltpeter on larval eggs, increased the at-generation amount of pupa/larval eggs, and increased the spawn rate of pupa/larval eggs. We likely will need to do more with the way the pupa/eggs spawn as they are still too hard to find (they only spawn on mud).
• Doubled the length of the spitter melee DoT, halved the damage.
• Added stone and mushroom deposits to the surface area during world-gen

UI/Graphics:

• Made it so you can scroll through the scroll slots by clicking the appropriate number repeatedly
• You can now drop items on containers to put them inside
• Made gems stackable
• Project window amount font switched to the small font
• UI element positions are now saved between sessions
• Ammo type/ammo in clip now saved between sessions
• Added feedback effects for when melee weapons hit blocks
• Misc work on weapon effects
• Updated copper sword sprites
• Squished the scroll slots a bit closer together to make the UI better for people at lower resolutions.
