Changelog - Version 0.32

Performance & Networking

• Hugely reduced input lag for actions like placing voxels or shooting RPGs.
• Removed automatic ping kick. Lag compensation is now limited based on the `sv.pingthreshold` cvar (recommended max: 225ms). Players exceeding this threshold will need to lead their shots more significantly.
• Voxels now regenerate health gradually over time (`sv.voxelhealth.heal.voxels.count`) after a configurable delay (`sv.voxelhealth.wait.time`) to prevent server lag spikes during regeneration.
• Clamped client simulation rate (`sv.player.max.simulation.rate`) to reduce server CPU load caused by high-performance clients.
• Fixed block destruction particles causing major performance freezes (Optimization).

Gameplay & Features

• Added the new Thunderstrike Shotgun for the Miner class.
• Added 'Smooth Mouse' option to the settings menu.
