Patch 0.13.5 (Ghost Town Patch)

Hello explorers!

With the recent release of 0.13 and the Meta Quest port in spring, the dev team are taking a bit of a break. Our next major update is coming this autumn (most likely September). We also have a Dev Diary scheduled for July. In the meantime we hope you enjoy the following changes and fixes!
