    1. Update v1.6:
    2. Changes:
    3. Terrain deco destruction:
    4. Added a toggle for deco destruction which can be added to the gameoptions.yaml:
    5. EnableDecoKnockDown: True/False # (Default True) to Activate or Deactivate the Terrain Decoration Destruction
    6. The ability to knock down a deco depends on the speed, mass & thrust power of the ship (don't expect a tiny HV to be able to knock down every deco at once).
    7. When a vessel hits f.ex a tree and is not able to knock it down some damage is done to the tree. So after a few hits the tree could go down.
    8. Enabled all 3 planes for use with symmetry mode:
    9. Supporting now up to 3 symmetry planes active at the same time.
    10. Work flow:
    11. Set each plane in the location you want them in 1 by 1
    12. Then activate them all at the same time after they have all been set 1 by 1.
