Diod v0.1.0.54 — Pre-alpha

- Water shorelines follow the actual ground with finer contact geometry, reducing floating and abrupt edges.
- Distant terrain retains scanned ground and rock texture variation and broader surface shading.
- Map and minimap gain geographic detail as you zoom in, with relief and contours generated in the background. Viewing maps does not load distant 3D terrain.
- Your animated body is visible in first person when looking down, walking and crouching.
- Market trading and miner recruitment move into a Market tab in the pause menu. The harbour and moored ships are removed.
- Sleep requires a placed bed or bedroll. Ground sleeping and player-facing tester tools and shortcuts are removed.

Compatibility
Continue existing v53 journeys. Terrain, buildings, inventory and progression are retained; this update does not regenerate your world. Close the game before replacing the application. Existing harbour geometry disappears; use the Market tab to trade. Earlier separate regional saves remain untouched.

Known issues
- Startup remains slow; the exact signed release High/640m validation took 65.8 seconds on an Apple M4.
- Complex excavations and geographic view publication can still stall briefly.
- Map charts show baseline terrain rather than individual excavations. Structures and explored locations remain overlaid.
- Broader water/boat presentation and dedicated first-person arm artwork remain unfinished polish.
- Windows/Linux GPU, Intel Mac and physical-controller gameplay have not been validated. Windows publisher signing is not configured.
