This week, we have taken strides in making it easier to work on Thrive. Most notably, we have updated to using .NET 7 and have removed our dependency on Python for translations. A new multicellular track is also in the works!
The cilia pulling in things mechanic implementation is also finally progressing again thanks to work starting on a general upgrades system which will be used to enable that for the cilia.
