System · 1

• Performance optimizations have been made to the game. The game's main shader has been switched to a version that renders in a single pass for better performance and to allow for foliage and better terrain. Frequent, heavy memory allocations across the game have been reduced to decrease lag spikes. Memory usage regarding creature AI has been optimized to share memory pools when appropriate. Creature search algorithms have been optimized for better and quicker performance on large maps. Cameras on indoor monitors now display at a lower framerate to save performance costs. Interiors now have basic distance culling to save performance, especially in large interiors. When loading while landing the ship, the interior now loads asynchronously for a smoother loading sequence.

Fix · 12

• The Kidnapper Fox has been readded with improved AI behavior regarding territory and spawning.

  fix

• Functionality has been added to creature AI and settings to prevent land creatures from walking deep underwater. A proper animation and sound have been added for the player pushing the lever to leave the moon. A visual animation and overhauled sound effects have been added for the main entrance door to the interior of all moons. Interactions where creatures could collide with and damage players from outside the mineshaft elevator while it was closed have been fixed. Some creatures not moving towards the player even when visible in a closed elevator have been fixed. Creatures setting their destination unnecessarily, causing them to 'jitter' on large maps, has been fixed. Indoor lights now have basic 'indirect' lighting, which can be toggled off. Company advertisements no longer display an inverted sale percentage for shop items. Desync between the 'collected ___' hologram display for different players has been fixed; they now display only when players drop scrap in the ship. Players dropping items due to death will now properly drop them on the cruiser and mineshaft elevator. Running into fellow employees will now shove them aside, with a collision occurring if both are running at each other. Crouching or carrying heavy scrap makes players harder to get around. Spray paint and similar items now work correctly when facing up while someone is watching on the map monitor. The game's randomness has been fixed so that creatures will always spawn in the same order on Challenge Moons. When creatures die, the game now waits until the determined spawn order is finished before spawning extra creatures. The game now detects if a client is running a mod loader and indicates this to other players in the server list. Starting a new file now sets a random seed initially, meaning the furniture on sale will always be different on the first quota. Fog on moons has been updated to fit better visually, and foggy weather is now varied by moon. Players are no longer using the improper two-handed hold animation when switching items.

  fix

• Sigurd's log locations have been swapped on many moons.

  fix

• Forest Keepers can no longer be 'charged up' by almost seeing one player and then use that charge on another player.

  fix

• Tulip Snakes no longer cause lag spikes for the host player when they walk the interior.

  fix

• The paycheck UI now scrolls properly through all sold scrap.

  fix

• The head-mounted camera has been turned around and its draw distance increased. It no longer displays a black void outdoors.

  fix

• Old Birds can now break bridges when walking on them, similar to Forest Keepers. Old Birds can now be stood on while moving, and scrap can be placed on their heads. Old Birds can no longer spawn from thin air.

  fix

• Baboon hawks dropping scrap will now properly drop it on the cruiser.

  fix

• Hygrodere no longer fails to properly morph to accommodate the environment, fails to change size based on variables, or camps the main entrance when following a player to it.

  fix

• The distance at which Coilheads will not enable their collision when stopped on a player has been increased to prevent them from pushing players through walls.

  fix

• Weeds will no longer begin growing near the ship, though they can spread to it. The player's hand and fingers now match the ship's lever when pulling it to land. The visuals and audio of landing and leaving in the ship have been improved and embellished.
