This is a update heavy on fixes. As well we made it a lot easier to stay in control mode for longer!

Control mode revamp
Something that makes Rekindling unique is the ability to play directly as any of your survivors.
As such we spent a lot of time for this weeks update on making it so you can do a lot more while controlling your survivors. You can now manage your inventory, equip items and do building jobs while you are in control mode. As well we have reworked how a lot of the core of control mode works so there are significantly fewer bugs around using it.

More help
One of the biggest complaints about Rekindling is it is hard to figure out how the controls work when you first start playing. As such we have added tooltips on what buttons you need to hit to do what. If there is something you think we missed that we should add please let us know!

Better item handling
Before this update if a item dropped on top of another item it would just delete the item that was trying to be placed. That is no fun! Now the item will find a nearby tile and drop it to that tile. As well when one of your survivors dies they will drop all of their equipment and items so your still alive survivors can reuse their loot!


Final thoughts/Next update
As always thank you all for the support and feedback!! This update, on top of the above new items, has a ton of bug fixes that are listed below, many of which were reported by you guys.

In the next update we will be expanding the control mode even further with a 'control only mode' and the ability for the person you are controlling to do even more jobs, such as crafting. As always please keep the feedback coming on Discord or in a Review (those help us a ton).

Thanks guys see you soon, full(ish) patch notes are below...
