## Resources
- **Vespene Geyser**s and **Vespene Ridge**s now have smaller collision profiles, slightly increasing the value of oversaturation

## AI
- Updated aiscripts to properly use factional replacements in scenarios

## Editor
- **NEW:** Units preplaced for 'user select' players are now created at map start (use responsibly...)
- **NEW:** Units preplaced with the 'lifted' unit property are now only created for players if the unit's race matches the player's race
- **NEW:** Volatile Egg unit (id 416)
	- when placed for P1-P8 and cloaked, any preplaced units for that player will be created, allowing players to select their race without spawning melee units

	- Attempt to fix a middle mouse button scroll crash (r. TopRamen & iliektoeatgrass; c. DF, Jesse, & Veeq7)
- **Gameplay:**
	- Units will now only target Solarions over Stewards if the Solarion is within weapon range (a. Veeq7)
- **Audiovisuals:**
	- Unit response randomization has been restored (c. DF)
	- Unit portraits now animate when playing unit responses in-game (c. DF)
	- **Hotshots** now use their shadows instead of the **Madcap**'s
	- Player names (and damage taken) now display on completed structures (a. DF)
