This is a small patch to fix some of the issues that slipped through, as well as some missing QoL features for the Dimension Update.

The Dimension Update was very well received, and it was great to hear all of your questions in the AMA and your feedback. Thanks for your continued support!

We are also working on some big things for shapez 2, but it's too early too announce those just yet - keep an eye out for future devlogs if you're interested in finding out more!
