First Kerbal Space Program 2 patch fixes a mountain of bugs
In what is perhaps the only situation which you should be excited about the phrase «a mountain of bugs,» Intercept Games has released the first big patch for Kerbal Space Program 2(opens in new tab). The situation being, of course, that «a mountain of bugs» is prefaced with «fixed.»
Which they did! A lot of them, in fact. The 0.1.1.0 update contains a tooth-dropping 300 changes ranging from minor to major. The development team thanked the community for all the information, and even credited the community with 42 specific bugfixes that their bug reports directly helped to fix.

There's also a load of bugs with connections solved, and joint strengths improved, to be better sure that your spacecraft will stay attached when you want it to and detach properly when you say so.
And, alas, the first big example of a Kerbal Space Program 2 Kraken Drive has been fixed: «Fix for engine thrust being deflected at too high of a value when a part obstructs an engine’s exhaust (the Kraken Drive bug).» For those not in the know, a Kraken Drive is the community nickname for any physics bug that makes a ship fly in completely insane ways—and this was certainly one of them(opens in new tab).
