The prior update had about four regressions in it, which players helpfully reported and I've now fixed. Thank you! Hotfix 21 Changelog Bugfixes Demo-Only Harmless Error: Fixed an exception that would pop up in the demo version (only that version) when completing the Prepare VR Cradles project. It wouldn't actually prevent any forward progress, but it was annoying for sure.Busted Animal Capture Drones: Fixed an exception that would happen in the prior build when hitting enemies with animal capture drones.Actual Crash To Desktop: Fixed a bonafide crash to desktop in the prior build if you had a damaged structure during the setup phase and it was trying to rebuild itself. This was an infinite loop internally, which caused a stack overflow exception. These sorts of crashes are super rare, so I'm glad to have this one gone!Map View Missing Elements: Fixed a number of issues in the prior build...
