This update brings a bunch of new features which have paved the way for various Sandbox improvements. We're very excited to bring the hotly requested feature that is
Grid Snapping! That's right! You're living on a grid now. Misaligned blocks are a thing of the past! Grid Snapping is enabled in both Campaign and Sandbox mode, allowing players to precisely align their blocks before placement.

We've also added a host of new tools:
a "gizmo" for moving objects in the sandbox after you've placed them,
a saw to cut plants into the exact shape you want, and a
vacuum to collect loads of fruit immediately.
