v0.52 Early Access

Alright, here is the early access for the public build of the v0.5 update! 

After the hotfixes for the beta and lots of testing this past couple weeks it seemed like there were no more obvious soft/hard locking bugs, all that was left were minor petty glitches.

Took a couple weeks or so to fix most of those glitches which can be seen in the change log at the bottom of the post.

Wasn't planning to take this long on releasing early access, but insomnia suddenly kicked in really hard and it's had me dead since last week. I was hoping to release it once it went away, but it's been taking a bit too long to go away, so I'm releasing the update and hoping I didn't end up missing something.

So long as everything is ok with this build, I'll open it to the public in a few days, and follow it with news on v0.6.

v0.52 Windows 

Known Issues:

Saves from prior updates have some issues, I'll be band-aiding it a bit, but no promises on proper stability on them. I would advice to start a new save.
