Changelog v2.2.18.126568 - Week 143
=== Notable Improvements ===

* Added a new master glass material and reworked all the current glass BLD materials, to reduce the excessive amounts of fog that could be seen through the glass

* Upped the stack size of kiwifruit to 100 to match most other harvested small fruits/veggies
