[b]Dear Junkers! [/b]????????
This update is heavily focused on performance optimization and improving how core systems behave under the hood. We’ve worked across many gameplay mechanics, machines, world systems and physics-based objects to reduce memory usage, improve stability and smooth out performance spikes.
Some systems received full optimization passes, while others received partial improvements and will continue to be refined in upcoming patches.
Thank you for your continued feedback — it directly helps us target the most demanding areas of the game! ????
