• Improved performance around Mysa Tarill.
• Improved how building piece rotation works with a controller, to have more granularity.
• Players now have more opportunities to build in the Shield Wall section of the Deep Desert.
• Added renaming functionality in the Placeables and Vehicles menu for players to be able to organize their bases better.
