[2020] Update 3 Patch Notes: Early Access (EXPERIMENTAL) - v0.3.2.2 - Build 116098

Hi Pioneers!

We’ve got another hotfix coming up which most importantly addresses the performance issues and introduces several balancing changes to the Refinery, oil refinement recipes and Alternate recipes.

Additionally, we fixed some crashes and minor bugs. The easiest way for us to debug on load crashes is when we have access to the saves that crash. If you crash on load and make a post about it on the questions site, feel free to attach your save file via a file sharing service to the post. It’ll help a lot with investigating these kinds of issues.

Please try out the balancing changes and let us know what you think on the questions site! Hope you all have a nice weekend <3
