Upcoming Version: 182.0 (ETA: TONIGHT Wednesday July 1 EST)
* Full Stone Structure Tier!
* Major client loading speed improvements
* Environment foliage rendering performance improvement
* Restored the previous "overdamage" of Harvestable Resources, while we work in the coming days on a new balance for per-Dino Resource Harvesting multipliers -- unofficial servers can enable the limiting optionally with "ClampResourceHarvestDamage=true"
* Fixed Shark spawn percentages (may take some time to have effects on existing servers, since the increased Shark population won't immediately despawn. Go Shark Hunting to clear 'em out ;). More Dolphins, and far less Sharks.
* Eliminated the absolute weight limit on player inventory items until we support stack splitting in remote inventories and automatic stack transfer splitting (soon, this week)
* Fixed Linux Server socket termination crash -- thank you to Steam user 'Beast' for tracking it down :)
* Fixed mod maps not automatically downloading when connecting to a server hosting a mod
* Mod makers can now override the minimap and spawn regions
