[h1]Buildings[/h1]
[list]
[*] Updated buildings: Engine and Large Power Wheel. Following a similar change to windmills, it is now possible to attach a Vertical (or Upward) Power Shaft to the central bottom tile of these power-producing buildings. They can also power up Solid buildings placed directly below (such as the Bot Part Factory).
[*] Updated buildings: Mine, Efficient Mine, and Underground Pile. These buildings’ entrances are now at the ground level.
[/list]
[h1]Misc.[/h1]
[list]
[*] Added the ability to assign keybindings for upward and downward camera rotation.
[*] The camera position is no longer saved in the map editor.
[*] Added warnings for Downward and Upward Power Shafts when you’re about to block their connectors.
[*] The game no longer warns about blocked power connectors when there’s at least one connector still available. And if [i]all[/i] connectors are blocked, the warning says just that.
[*] Added a tooltip to the grayed out “Delete” button when the building cannot be deleted because of other structures placed above.
[*] Updated icons for the [i]Local[/i] indicator on the map and mod selection screens.
[*] Updated shaders for some crops.
[*] Added flavor texts for both factions’ wonders.
[/list]
[h1]Bugs[/h1]
[list]
[*] Fixed a relatively common issue related to the player.data file that would crash the game at launch.
[*] Builders carrying goods were once again reminded not to ignore paths. Safety first!
[*] Cleared the 0,0 camera position saved as the default restorable position on Plains and Helix Mountain.

[*] Fixed plant life not changing its status after being flooded in the map editor.

[*] Water Gauge and Badwater Rig no longer clip through other buildings.

[*] Bot builders no longer feel superior and won’t act like they don’t need hammers to work.

[*] Fixed building highlights that sometimes wouldn’t disappear.
[*] Covered water sources no longer continue to produce water during badtides or badwater during temperate weather.
