🙏 A Note From Me

• I would like to apologize. I planned to add custom space structures from Ad Astra for the Legendary Monsters bosses, but they turned out to be too heavy on RAM
• According to my tests, a single structure uses up to 4 GB of RAM
• Unfortunately, I won’t be adding them, and this will most likely be the last beta before release
• It is my fault for not foreseeing this problem. I am sorry to everyone who was waiting for this feature
