Hi Galactic Survivalists,  
  
  
  
We want to give all mod developers an early heads-up regarding an upcoming change planned for next week’s update.  
  
  
  
We have successfully increased the maximum block limit in **BlocksConfig.ecf to 8192**. As a result, all item IDs used by the API _(code mods)_ will shift accordingly.  
  
  
  
If your mod uses item IDs in any form, you will now need to calculate them using:

- Item ID + 8192

Failing to apply this offset will result in incorrect items...
