Added cooking instructions to the fire menu.

Firestarter is no longer needed to add wood to a fire that is already lit.

Fixed an issue that caused some inventory menus to overlap and buttons to not be clickable.

Improved wildlife AI around cabins. This is an ongoing process and will evolve with future mechanics.

Fixed a rare issue where completing a tutorial task would would auto-complete another quest.

Added more intuitive menu key controls. Some menus will close with the same key used to open them. Some still need a button press with the mouse cursor. This is an ongoing process as making the ESC key close all menus as well as using the same button used to open menus is complex but a priority for user friendliness.

Keybinds and overall performance optimizations are in store as a priority for the next update.
