All IPS-N mechs implemented

This month’s update is somewhat truncated since I’ll be at PAX + associated meetups for the rest of this week. We’ve got the rest of the IPS-N done and dusted, rounding it out with the Raleigh, Lancaster, and Tortuga. Other than that, we’re maintaining our bug steady state with a buncha fixes to offset the ones I’m sure I introduced with specifically Lancaster and its cursed winches and harnesses.

Oh! On a bsky recommendation, I also made an account on mod.io to start investigating hosting user-made maps (and eventually, someday, mods) via that. So, um, yeah. Nothing more to say here besides watch this space.
