Bug Fixes

 * Fixed audio performance issues - more stable FPS in R&D and situations with lots of Techs.
 * Trading Stations now fire out purchased blocks from their chute.
 * Trading Stations on old save games upgraded with a SCU.
 * Trading Stations’ SCU now take blocks from Block Magnets.
 * Closed exploit where SCU would be replaced infinitely when sent to inventory at the end of the GSO Grade 3 SCU Mission.

Known Issues

 * Trading Stations in existing saves are not fully updated to the new version. This means that they don’t have a SCU but players cannot sell blocks to them either.
 * Sumo, Gauntlet and R&D Test Chamber may start with an initial noticeable stutter depending on how many Tech snapshots are present in the TerraTech folder.
 * Anchored blocks can be placed in close proximity to each other, causing them to overlap.
 * Multiple resources travelling close to each other along Conveyors may generate bottlenecks and clog bases up, especially around Refineries and Filters.
