## [Changelog] -- 2023-02-07

Notable changes:

• Scorchlands is now available on Linux & SteamOS.
  HUD was heavily reworked in order to take up a lesser part of the screen.
• Introduced a system that visually shows the player how the resource production balance changes when performing various activities. This is done through spawning animated resource icons.
• Added localization for 3 languages: German, French, Chinese and Russian.

• Missing resources in colony production UI are now represented by black color on their respective bars (previously they were marked red).
• Whenever placing buildings, icons of newly produced and consumed resources will appear on the screen to better show the player what is changing in the colony production-wise.
• UI present previously when placing and relocating buildings was removed
• Info panel present at the bottom-left corner was reduced to a simple bar displaying the currently hovered object name and icon.
• Minimap has been relocated to the bottom-left corner of the screen.

• Restored missing rock meshes in the desert biome & missing pebbles in Grassy and Cliff biomes.
