Hello everyone,
We are happy to release our first big update.

So here's what this patch is about:
A difficulty on-demand

- 2 new notes added on the HoloDesk with 16 tips.
Maintenance and repair
- New "Fixit - CV2007", a new tool that can perform quick repairs but only to damaged housings (unusable to new or broken housings).
- New "Fixit Cells", a new consumable required by the new Fixit tool in order to make repairs (you can perform 2 repairs with one Fixit cell).
- New default location on the toolrest for the Fixit tool.
Environment
- Update of the start screen
- Update of the gearbox textures
- Update of the DBE textures

We will now focus our efforts on fixing the various bugs that you found then we will get back to our original roadmap with the goal to push a second big update before the end of the month. We also won't forget to release the promised wiki (end of next week).
We hope this first update will meet your expectations.
Have a good game!
