Thoughts on the Update...so far

I like that limestone nodes seem to be scarcer and sandstone nodes a bit more plentiful in the early part of the game. It forces you to explore a bit farther out to get what you need, but you will not be bottlenecked like before when you could not find any silver to save your swim bladder. The crash powder seems to drop a bit more (I might actually make flares now) and silver seems to be more abundant -copper is a bit tight though.

I think the small changes to some of the recipes are nice and I hope more recipes are altered to make use of resources that were seldom used more than once or twice in other game versions.

The UI is nice and some of the new icons are more eye candy-ish than before.

So far I am enjoying it and want to let the developers know it is, in my eyes, a job well done.

....and don't swim next to the Aurora pre-explosion lest you become chum.

We now have a use for all that gold we've been dumping in a locker somewhere. That's always a bonus.
