It's been almost a week since the Automation Update release and you guys managed to break the game already, way to go. Just kidding, thank you so much for reporting all insect that got into the game with the new update. Special thanks goes to our Discord and Steam testers that relentlessly keep on testing no matter how many new builds we throw at them.
As the title suggests with a bunch of fixes we also added 2 new features. You can see the first one in this video. Basically, you can call the drillship from anywhere to a landing site near you. Small disclaimer: if your drillship is heavily damaged you might want to reconsider this move since it could drive through lava as it's coming to you.

This drillship calling feature also changes the way you can move around the map. If you wanted to explore on foot before, you always had to return to your drillship. Now you can wander off and then just call the drillship to you.
The second feature is a Dead End notification for situations when you're better off loading your last save than continuing. Situations like being stuck inside a cave without a drillship - you're alive, but you can't get out of there so you're just waiting for the eruption to vaporize you.
