Stabilization Modes

Stabilization Off:

Stabilization Lazy: In Lazy Mode an world drop is placed when you stop using your Thumbsticks to move. This is automated. It's not synced for late joiners. Positions can slightly variate.

Stabilization On: In On Mode, you take an automated jump or step forward to orientate playspace. It's recommended to not look to far up/down and to not move your head left/right for 1-2s after toggling On.
