Modding

Mods can now support custom artwork including 3D models and icons. There is a new mod tool available for setting up your custom artwork. A new guide covering custom artwork has been added to the Steam guides section.

UI Changes

A few UI tweaks have been added, but the most notable is a rework of the Add Item Order interface for crafting stations. The recipe list is now visible via icons on the left hand side instead of buried in drop downs.
