The “stamp” and “place in world” features were misbehaving in some of the science simulations, so we’ve fixed them! There were also a few UI issues, so we fixed those, too.
Since this is a maintenance release, and we don’t have any exciting new features or announcements to share, we’ll leave you with a science joke:
What did one tectonic plate say when it bumped into another tectonic plate?
Sorry! My Fault.

Other updates include:
Tracking improvements
Updated UI system
Fixes for some localizations
