Here's the first round of small fixes - there will be more in the next few weeks, but these were the most urgent :D

Be sure to let us know on discord or steam discussions if you encounter any bugs or issues (or just to let us know what you think!)

Balancing:

• Made the docking zone smaller to avoid edge cases with redocking and make it less likely to be accidental

• Rebalanced some submarine variables, including prices and pressure resistance levels

• Rebalanced the price of endgame treasures

• Made treasure spawn more reliably in the basin caves

• Rebalanced and fixed some achievements that weren't working as intended

• Removed the "foggy" affix from the "boots for the ferryman" quest

• Removed bottle crates from the non-treasure spawn pool

Multiplayer fixes:

• Docking should now be significantly less laggy on clients, and more reliable in general

• Loading now waits for all clients (and tells you who it's waiting on once you're done)

• Fixed an issue where clients couldn't see treasure stuck to treasure molas

• Added a safeguard against situations where a client thinks they're holding something (but they're not)

Tutorial fixes:

• Fixed some issues with tutorial quests and saving

• The tutorial submarine no longer replaces the player's sub when retaking the tutorial later

• Unrelated quests are now unpinned when retaking the tutorial

Other changes:

• Fish should now correctly be "discovered" when you encounter them (in case you didn't know what a "purple sagefish" looks like, now you can look it up!.. Assuming you've already seen one)

• Fixed an issue where navigation didn't generate for creatures walking on land

• Increased the size of the water pump's interactable area

• Tweaked when Zip's pressure warnings appear

• Moved toilet repair to the same input as fixing leaks

• Changed some visuals in the basin caves

• Added missing images to the manual

• Added hit and kill FX to cave monkeys, and reduced their range a bit

• Pufferfish from the kelp forest now deal damage (as they should, little murder pincushions)

• Temporarily removed Cave C from the shallows cave pool so we can polish it a bit more

• Added alternative colours to the basic outfits, unlocked by default
