  • When you save a map the file name will now be the same as the map name.

  • In the map editor, you are now limited to how close you can place ground textures for performance reasons.

  • Players online list should no longer say "8 players online" when you first load the page.

Gameplay

  • Increased Peregrine health from 690 to 1100.
  • Gnat cost set to 25 ore.
