What's being worked on?

Usually I like to pump out incremental update after incremental update, but unfortunately I can't do that for 1.8.

The reason is that building an entire region requires many interlocking parts that need each other just to be able to launch the game without crashing. I can't add them piece by piece like I have done in the past with test updates until I hit the bare minimum needed to have the workshop functioning on its own legs.

Just so you all aren't kept in the dark, though, here's what's going down:
