Patch 1.17.88

Project CHEER Delivery LTE
Project CHEER crates have returned to Sylva, Desolo, Calidor, and Glacio! Recover lost objects and send them back to EXO Dynamics via the Request Platform. Be on the lookout for a new CHEER object!

EXO has also made additions to the Small Printer; use scrap and other resources to produce CHEER objects for recovery!

EXO Dynamics will give rewards for participation, these include:
 * “Tinsel Town” Palette – Rewarded for reaching 1500 Recovery Points of objects returned.
 * “Festive Chapbow” Hat – Rewarded for reaching 3500 Recovery Points of objects returned.
 * “Baublehead” Visor – Rewarded for reaching 6500 Recovery points of objects returned.
 * Useful incremental rewards along the way.
 * Randomized recurring rewards from EXO at the end of the event.

High Quality Mode
Added new High Quality Mode for higher end hardware which will affect draw distance, shadow quality, object detail, lighting quality and terrain quality at the cost of performance.

Full High Quality support on PC via various sliders in the settings menu:
 * Added support for limited High Quality support on Xbox One with a more involved Series X/S option (that is accessible via backwards compatibility but has to be enabled in the settings menu)
 * Added support for limited High Quality support on PS4 with a more involved PS5 option (that is accessible via backwards compatibility but has to be enabled in the settings menu)
 * Added code fixes and FOV (field of view) slider that will help with ultra-widescreen setups on PC
 * Added various CPU and GPU optimizations that will speed up game rendering even if High Quality Mode is disabled
 * Fixed periodic frame hitching due to services calls by making them asynchronous

Improved Shuttle Controls
While orbiting a planet, you can adjust your speed to avoid long waits or missed opportunities. (Adjusting orbit speed doesn't consume fuel).

The doubled up 'Launch' action has been split into 'Launch into Orbit' and 'Launch to Another Planet', which will launch the shuttle directly into the 'Planet Orbit View' or 'Solar System View', respectively. (You can back out of launching to another planet by selecting the planet you're currently orbiting).

New Platforms
Make the most of your auto arms with these specially designed platforms.
