Sorry this took so long to fix. Someone else on the team edited this variable yesterday evening before I exported so I didn't test it. Ironically, I was also stuck in bed IRL finally getting some sleep.
There's still a lot of things we have planned to work on tomorrow (especially in regards to NPCs) but for tonight that's it! I would also like to thank everyone for the continued support despite the "buggy start". Next few days, we're going to continue working on fixing more bugs & balancing stuff until we're good to go to continue adding some more flavor to the gameplay (like more different events, constructions & items and more). The launch has also already brought enough revenue in to cover the projected costs of developing the new code base during the next few months (which will make future updates less prone to bugs and make the game more modular, allowing for modding & multiplayer at some later point during Early Access).
