The build is one of the most vital milestones for the game, colloquially tied to the stable era of the massive "Living Large" 2.0 update. While it brought over 800 bug fixes and added highly requested base-building pieces from Below Zero, subsequent minor security and Unity engine patches completely broke mod compatibility.
