v0.6 has been released! It is the first of many updates to come!

The storm now has health and is a boss fight! 

New turrets and defense options have been introduced.

One of the new buildings is the Deflector. When struck, it deflects lightning back at the storm, damaging it and stunning it for a short duration, allowing your other turrets to pummel it.

Your best shot at defeating the storm is still to build the Faraday' Device, but the new small turret is added to let you damage the storm gradually.

Summary of new content:

• Storm now has health and is a boss fight
• 4 New defense buildings, 3 new researches
• Dash ability
• 7 new music tracks
• Add autosave, save/continue feature
• Storm now arrives faster, and arrives faster with each storm
• Add house level 2
• Workshop nerfed
• Tons of improvements, rebalancing, optimizations, fixes

Be warned, the game is harder now. However, several rebalancing changes were made to improve the game and reduce reliance on randomness.

Workshops were overpowered and have been nerfed. However titanium is now easier to obtain.

Cookhouses will now only appear after you unlocked veggie farms and diving stations as it requires their materials as pre-requisites.

The tutorial that asks you to pick sand now guarantees sand as an option.

Please let me know your thoughts if you have any on the new changes! Too easy? Too difficulty? I'd like to hear them so I can improve it further!
