With searching for a task with higher priority after completing the task “build constructions”;
With current task cancelation for an exoskeleton when it has a low charge;
With loading order for containers while collecting resources;
With critical error in the micromanagement map view of a location while it moves away;
With incorrect movement speeds for asteroid belt layers on the star system map level;
With checking error for asteroid sprites appearing on the local space and micromanagement map levels while arriving to the asteroid belt on the star system map level;
With extra task performing “move on 5 tiles in random direction” after completing another low priority task;
Error with operating logic of kinetic shield after it’s manually switched off by the player;

Yes! Unfortunately, it's error after uploading on IndieDB. I've checked source gif and everything is OK with it. I'll be able to fix it because, after that we need to get authorization again. Sorry for that. Check our blog Solarkindiegame.blogspot.com if you want to look at all gifs in normal quality.
Is there something wrong with the second last gif?
