Update 0.2 had been released back in September 2020, and with it came some issues, with the biggest ones being ironed out on the same day, but there still remained improvements that could be made. Thats where Patch 0.216 comes in. This patch is relatively small and revolves mainly around giving the galaxy a better appearance and a better UI. This patch will release both on MODDB and Steam workshop as it is compatile with both versions of the game, and it is a prelude to the bigger 0.22 update.
Anyways now to the important part of this article:
Edit: Patch has been uploaded to Steamworkshop and is also available to download on moddb here:
