OK, got a lot in this week! We finished restoring Aziel, the seamless space travel, and added in the cloud file system which will take over from the old SQL database structure. We updated the Aziel "giraffe" creature to the new AI and gave it the Herd Behaviors which we migrated over from our Beta Branch tests. We also updated a number of "quality of life" changes, moved the worms to the dunes, toned down the chance of a dust storm, and a bunch of other small items.
