New Version 18.10.17

Hello, there is a new version out on Steam and itch right now. This version is post-feature-freeze which means we’ve focused exclusively on bug fixes, some balance and GUI tweaks, and the removal of some unstable features. We’ve also made some features (like auto-digging and auto-farming) optional.
