Rocks are now easier to investigate, and even faster for Science officers
Metal is now collected even faster by crew members assigned to the Metal Collector
Reduced the sound level of tricorders during investigation, sorry about your ears!
Reordered the buttons at the bottom left of the screen so the Crew Overview is closest to the main view
The Shifts game guide does a better job at explaining why your crew must use shuttles to travel between the ship and the planet

You only need to find one of the three beacons at the start of the game to complete the explore objective
