Night Vision by default

We realized it was very difficult to build in dark areas and underground, so we added night vision! This feature is now on by default and can be turned on/off in the view settings.

Vertical Fly Speed

In addition to being able to configure your fly speed, it now works in the vertical direction, making it much easier to fly around in all directions.

Farm undo/redo

Accidentally spawn a farm in the wrong place? Annoyed that you can't do anything about it? Well... we have a solution for you! You can now undo/redo farms, making them easier to work with if you made a mistake.
