BUG FIXES

Major Fixes

Xbox and Windows Store players can rename Storage chests again as long as their profile allows User Generated Content to be shown.
If you progressed beyond the story of receiving the Embiggening Cell, but did not get it for some reason, the game will grant it to you on your next load of the save.
If you progress to the story point where you need to interact with the Javamatic but the game will not let you, the game will fix up the quest state on your next load of the save.
Loading an early access save will no longer trigger the “Analyze a Pebblet / Analyze Raw Fiber” quests if you have already done so. Fixes 1.0 saves that are stuck with this quest as well.
Players will no longer disconnect from multiplayer after being online for 4+ hours.
Doors at player bases will properly have the door open state synced if the open state was changed while a client was far away.
Wolf Spiders will more reliably sleep during the day.
