UBID
A UBID is randomly generated upon a final build before distributing the Engine.
A UBID can be 5 characters long or 6 characters long. The format must look like X99(9)XX e.g. A26AA or A260AA
Release Schedule
The release schedule begins on the 27 March, 27 May, 27 July, 27 September and then with the final build of the year being on the 1 Jan (the next year).
September builds have sometimes been skipped, it depends on what is scheduled to release for the end of year build (which are more important than September builds).
Why are releases released the 27? The reason is simple. The first version of Saturn was meant to release on 28 March 2023 but I ended up delaying it a whole year.
