Minor[ | ]

The following are minor patches that followed this version.

Added the "Forging Terminal", an object you can forge which allows you to extend the area where forging is possible.
Turrets will "stick" to things and remain locked in place rather than tumbling all over the place. They can also be attached to other physically simulated objects, including spinning slammer turrets.
Preferences you set in the settings screen are now saved and will be applied each time you load StarForge or join/host a server.
