The developer continues to investigate an unresolved issue with fog reveal drifting away from the player. This update focuses primarily on bug fixes with no new features.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

Hi everyone, this patch fixes an Auto Explore bug that is impacting a decent chunk of the player base, so I'm pushing it out along with some other minor fixes:
Changed Auto Repair's algorithm to wait until a Reactor finishes its repairs before checking for energy/biomass, preventing unexpected leaving if for some reason your energy or biomass drops down momentarily mid repair.
And that's all! compared to v1.0.4 it's a short list, but again; Bug #1 listed above has been a thorn on my side for the past 2 days; glad to see it gone.
The other major bug I haven't been able to track down is "Fog reveal drifting away from the player", any clues or further information helps! (I've heard that turning on/off your sensor fixes this drift/offset)
