      But yeah, don't expect anything like that for 1.0, unfortunately.

      The last thing I want to talk about is that there are currently some parts in the game that are going to be removed.

      You already know of one, which is beacons.

      The reason why we're removing beacons is because we've since updated how the map works with the addition of map markers, which you can more easily like place down on the map instead of having to like physically go and place them in the world.

      And now, sadly, there are two more casualties, which are flowers and color cartridges.

      Rest in peace.

      The reason for this is because we want to remove cost for customization.

      Originally, you needed to use color cartridges to be able to paint walls and stuff like that.

      We found that very tedious, so we opted to remove that for coloring walls when we removed the color gun.

      And so far we sort of kept that cost for patterns that you could paint on foundations.

      But even in the case for these, we feel like it's still a bit unnecessary.

      We originally had plans to make it so you could like automate color cartridges because like running around for 30 hours collecting flowers just so you could paint your factories felt a bit annoying and, you know, unnecessary.

      But after working a bit on the recipes during the rebalance pass that we're currently doing for 1.0, we felt like having to automate stuff to just like customize patterns doesn't really add that much to the game.

      We've decided to just completely remove those and make all customization completely free.
