Today's 1.4 mini-update is now live!

This update includes a few cool new features as well as fixes and changes. The highlight of the update is the Gem Compressor - a water powered machine which can compress any gem into a compressed gem. These compressed gems can be used in crafting just like regular gems!

Another addition is the player sprinting ability - a highly requested feature.

Steam Workshop is now implemented for Hydroneer! Now you no longer have to visit github to download mods. Please be patient with the quantity of mods listed on the Workshop, more mods will be added over time by the community. This is completely out of my control. The old mods are still available on their respective sites: https://bridgepour.com/mods
If you're interested in making mods, there's a great channel to discuss with other mod devs in the discord: https://discord.gg/hgYBTGP

Finally another new addition in this update is the new community created wiki. We've got rid of the Fandom wiki and a new one has been created from the community: https://bridgepour.com

Thanks everyone, hope you enjoy 1.4!
