Update 0.08.00 is an update for Stranded Deep released on January 12, 2016.
This build features more extensions to the building system with new doors, arches, windows, and half-walls! There are new pieces for each building tier, totaling 20 new pieces. It's worth mentioning that there's been some refactoring of our building system's connector code to allow it to be completely universal to support the new raft system coming soon, so there's a possibility that your existing saved structures might load back incorrectly. Please try replicating any bugs on a new structure before posting them. There have also been some performance tweaks that should improve performance for systems with lower-end CPUs.
