We’ve just released Alpha 17.3 B18 Stable

For A17.3 we have set focus on bug fixes and RWG.

We have fixed the issue which caused chunks to be reset to their original state, often affecting players’ bases.

To report bugs please go here: Alpha 17.3 B18 Bug Reporting Thread

RWG

For RWG we worked over to remove the POI replication spawns (radio tower cities), reworked the roads so be more vehicle-friendly, overworked the world layout and adjusted the placement of POIs and cities.
This framework we are backporting to 17.3 is part of a larger Alpha 18 plan to make it awesome.
