Close look at new biome updates, mounting and optimizations

Mounting

Further progression on Mountables branch this week with improvements and a new feature! Players will be able to rotate their camera around while sitting. If you don't follow updates Rust is adding the ability for players to sit in chairs to decrease crafting times. Although it was set to release on 9-14 it was quickly removed before final due to possible exploits in the system. It's unclear whether or not it will be included in this update.
