Newsletter Date issued Description of change in newsletter
Newsletter I-1 2000-06-21 Correction of 1 spelling mistake. Update of the source information
gollark: Probably because 300 mods is quite a lot.
gollark: Well, yes. You can't expect a game to perform the same when several hundred times more content is added.
gollark: Quest books can't really fix the performance issues though.
gollark: Probably.
gollark: I mostly just keep running out of RAM. Part of the issue is that and part of it is that I just have no idea what I'm doing, especially considering how many random ores and plants and stuff I run into.
