Update Gravystein

This update was released on February 16, 2016. Read the official news post.

The changes are as follows:

## Bug Fixes

* Fixed Farm Description being cut off in Building Popup.
* Constructor’s Hut LOD fixed.
* Constructed buildings no longer disappear underground.
* Fixed an issue with nuggets going idle after mating. This might look like a feature, but it is really a bug...
* Fixed Nuggets getting stuck on game startup while leaving epicenter
* Canceling the placement of a building no longer marks that area as occupied
* Builders no longer take too many resources to build site
* Birds are now rendered correctly from both orientations(top and bottom)
* Animals no longer disappear
* Numbers fixed in the bottom bar of the main UI
* Fixed an issue with builders going idle when resuming their work after eating/resting
* Significantly improved the way construction sites and buildings can be selected

## New Content

* More descriptive job statuses. Job Statuses now include a Nugget’s current task within the description.
* Implemented what we call the “Baby Machine”. Players can now control the Nugget Spawn rate by clicking on the icons on the top left corner of the screen. Fertile females will appear there, and once you click on the icon, they will start reproducing. You can also enable Auto Reproduction, which means that the Nuggets will reproduce without player interaction.
* Basic PlayStation 4 and Xbox One Controller support implemented for PC only (world navigation only)
* New particle effects
* New News messages
* New shader for Nugget skin colors
* New shader for Nugget hair colors
* New shader for Nugget clothing
* New effect for Intervention
* Reworked Wildlife system, including Animals AI
* Implemented Statistics screen. Currently we have wildlife statistics only. Animals count on the planet will depend on different factors in the future, this screen will show the fluctuation of their numbers and what impact your actions will have on the entire system.
* Now construction process mainly depends on 2 factors, how much HP a building has and how strong nuggets are. The strongest are nuggets, the faster a building will be constructed. Also, you can now follow the construction progress through specialized panel.
* “Intervention” for trees and rocks - once player clicks and holds the left mouse button over an object they can pull that object out of the ground. Once holding the object they can launch it at other objects to deal damage or into space/orbit.
* Added a selection box to Planet Tooltip and improved how tooltip info is displayed
* Construction sites can now be selected. Upon selection, an Info panel will be popped, displaying the progress of the construction.
* Reworked priorities panel. Essentially fixing the issue where a nugget becoming an adult or dying would reset pending changes. Each profession now has a set number that indicates how many nuggets will be assigned to that profession. Epicenter will assign the nuggets in a cyclic manner.

## UI Design

* New Priorities Panel
* Creator Power Points Panel

## Performance Changes

* Smoother start-up loading (ongoing work being done here)

* Redesigned database (easier to tweak & faster access @ runtime too)
* Tweaked the building placement system (less stutter while building)
