Summary (AI)

Patch 3.0.25870 for Abiotic Factor introduces several quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes. Pets now sprint to keep up with their scientist and their interactions for picking up and petting have been swapped for better consistency. Various issues were addressed, including pets not saving XP after reload, pet container name resets, and unlocking the Tareccary Compendium entry. The Core Companion Trinket effects have been adjusted, and several recipes and item interactions were updated, such as the Panic Flask and distillation of Raw Moon Fish Filets. Fixes were also made to prevent chair clipping, resolve Wisps despawning, and correct interaction issues with the Hardlight Sledge and other items.
