##### The Infection

Some creatures are displaying symptoms of an infections disease. What is it? And could you contract it yourself?

##### Research Facility

Something terrifying was being done here. And something went horribly wrong.

##### Containment Facility Exterior

A giant structure has appeared deep beneath the ocean floor. For now, we're just teasing: You can only explore the exterior, and will have to wait for a future update to see inside...

##### New Biome: Crag Field

Where there was previously empty seabed, the Crag Field has arisen. Explore this new environment, but watch out for Bone Sharks!

##### The Lab Cache

Deep within the Lost River biome, an enormous skull shows signs of being studied by... Something. Nearby, you might just find some useful resources.

##### PDA Drag'n'Drop

The PDA now supports drag-and-drop for quick slot item assignment.

##### Improved Map Scanner Room

The map scanner room now features a much great scan radius, scans faster, and is easier to move around in.
