Preparing For Steamworks - Patch 0.12
IMPORTANT
World Builder Steamworks implementation is under construction. I modified the way worlds are saved in this so you might notice a slight delay on initial load of the game the first time with this patch. I did everything I could to make sure this update goes smoothly but even with all of my testing some of you may experience problems and not be able to see your saves, not to worry there is a backup of your saves so if you run into any problems just email me at russell@gurujivr.com and I will fix your saves myself.

GRASS PAINTER
On the objects tab of the menu you can now paint the grass! There are 2 known bugs right now
