Bauxite Bonanza (v1.12.6-rc.1)

Dear Players,
v1.12.6-rc.1, an unstable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager

If everything goes well, then v1.12.6 will be the last stable release before I start working on the next major update. This is mostly a bugfix release with a few small features sprinkled on top
