Sleipnir

Hey friends!

Quick post to let you know I've put out a hotfix to the game. I noticed some load issues and wanted to put out a small update to address these. Here are the notes for it:

• Enabled additional error printing in the Player.log file.
  
• Fixed a bug where loading the game could sometimes get stuck in winter.
  
• Fixed a bug where the resolutions list wasn't showing options lower than 800 width. 768 should now be the lowest option to support the game's lowest resolution of 1200x768.
  
• Fixed a bug where players weren't able to mine upwards.
  
• Fixed a bug where certain blocks weren't being deconstructed by the clear/remove job and would then cause the block to not be assigned any clear/remove job again.
  
• Added additional text for the initial game boot to indicate loading. Some expressed that they thought the game was stuck here because it shows just a black screen.

I also wanted to do a pass on the entity tooltip as I have always felt it was poorly done. This is the expanded version (holding ctrl) of the entity tooltip:



And collapsed (hovering over a target entity):
