We have made the decision to move the changes from the beta branch over to the main game. It is right before a weekend but we will keep an eye on things in case something does not work quite correct so that we can issue a hotfix for those if they come up. The prior beta branch tested changes made to utility functions and you can read more on that from the beta thread.
Update Information:
Hey everyone.
We have some changes that could break loading or saving for some mods. We are requesting the help of testers to see if anything breaks with their unique setups: World creation, dedicated server hosting, normal gameplay, modded sessions for anything, etc. The more that can be thrown at the game to try to break it the better.
