What changed?Notes for build 2026.8.17
2026.8.17
  • The lobby and pause menus learned to share one handsome set of manners.
  • Settings got smaller, sharper, and much harder to adjust by accident.
  • Breakers now hide behind a real cover instead of trusting workplace etiquette.
  • Traversal, storage, multiplayer, and updater gremlins lost another round.
  • Ferns moved out on their own; the forest floor kept its batching benefits.
