With every new addition and every test, more and more bugs are found. This is a blessing and a curse to a developer; finding a bug is always upsetting, but always another opportunity to polish the game and make it better. This update today is primarily bug fixes; but a lot of them. It is my goal to never let my tech debt get too far out of control, so occasionally I will prioritize tackling my list of bugs in a single update, though I try to nip them in other updates as best I can as well. 

The next update will be aiming for fixing biomes, adding new ones, and some more cities on other planets to enjoy.
