Fixes

• Fixed a longstanding issue/exploit where saving and reloading caused all fishing and dredging spots to repopulate. Sorry!
• Fixed a longstanding issue where research parts never appeared in crab pots. You're welcome!
• Fixed an issue where, in extremely rare cases, if a save file failed to load, the game would overwrite it with a new save.
• When a [REDACTED] causes a fish to land on your deck, it now counts towards your catch count in the encyclopedia, and will show the "new species" banner if it's a new discovery.
• Adjusted the position of the panic tutorial slightly to not overlap the panic eye animation so much.
• Trawl nets no longer function during the final cutscene, which prevents "new species discovered!" banners from popping up over the climax of the game.
• Ravens will no longer spawn if the player is currently right next to a dock.
• Random events will no longer spawn while the player is locked in dialogue with the photographer in The Pale Reach.
• The light on the Fort in Stellar Basin is now visible from further away.
• The "Perfect Packing" achievement wasn't unlocking in some scenarios.
• The "debt repayment" bar at Greater Marrow wasn't respecting custom colour choices.
• Placing map markers should always play a SFX now.
• The creaking traps in Twisted Strand are no longer audible from halfway across the map.
• Fixed an issue where text could get stuck on screen if it was very short, and Text Speed was set to Fast. Mostly affected Korean and Chinese languages.
• When playing with a cursor, you can no longer click on the Cargo tab while using the Spyglass.
• Quest grids that require players to make a decision about whether to pick up or leave an item no longer show a (non-functional) "Return to town" prompt.
• Players can no longer pick up an item from some quest grids and then interact with dialogs with the item still on their cursor.
• Removed a couple of bushes that were floating in the sky above Twisted Strand. Apologies to the folks who thought this was us hinting at a secret zone in the clouds!
• Adjusted a few pieces of terrain to prevent the hull of your boat from clipping through.
• The Travelling Merchant's bunting has been re-added.
• Rain no longer looks weird when climbing the steps to the Ancient Lighthouse.
• The Photographer's camera case is no longer able to be discarded via the temporary storage tray beneath the fishing minigame.
• Hundreds of text and localization fixes.
