Mindustry Files

After a long wait, v8 has finally been released. For those coming from v7, here's a brief summary of the major changes:

• A complete overhaul of the Serpulo campaign maps, along with replacement of all procedural base sectors
• Difficulty modifiers for the campaign
• Many unit control improvements, including a new stance and group system
• New ammo types for Erekir turrets
• Countless additions to world processor scripting in maps
• A data patch system to change stats, weapons and behavior of blocks or units per-map
• Rendering performance optimizations
• New decorative metal & colored blocks
• Various QoL features, like a detachable camera, pinging locations, viewing other player's build plans, and more
• Completely reworked most sound effects, as well as the audio engine

Note that this release does not include any Neoplasm-related content; that will be worked on in v9.

• Fixed some minor JSON and data patcher bugs
• Made core unit projectiles inherit unit speed as before, but keep range the same
