Hello Birders! We've been hard at work on a new region map (we'll have more info soon!), but ahead of that we have a new update for you all. By popular demand, the American Woodcock (along with a few other birds) dances its way into Goose Lake!
Patch 1.0.47
NEW BIRDS
5 new birds have found their way into Goose Lake!
We've got: Black Chinned Hummingbird, Golden Eagle, Mourning Dove, Pileated Woodpecker, and the vagrant (but requested so often it would be silly NOT to include...) American Woodcock.
(spoiler on the last bird in the list): American Woodcock has a special animation for walking along the ground
Utility Upgrades
There is now a new upgrade category called "Utility"
There is now a Utility Upgrade that increases your hotbar capacity, up to 9 total slots!
We also moved the Scrapbook Pages to Utility.
This means you no longer need to max out Scrapbook Pages to get the Camera Upgrades achievement.
Fixes
Fixed layering bug in which shiny birds draw in front of thickets
Fix water shader foam (Thanks Green Fox!).
Re-enabled occlusion culling, which got disabled by accident. (Should not happen in the future)
Fixed navigation bug on Steam Deck that caused the settings menu to have a flickering tooltip and be un-navigable.
Fixed scrolling bug in inventory while using controller
Fixed texture mapping on some seed bags (icon should be more visible in shop/inventory)
Fixed occlusion culling bug at the end of the pier in Marsh.
Experimental Changes
Enabled Physics Interpolation, this should make the game feel smoother at very high framerates
We no longer use Steam Voice Chat, we now record your mic directly into the game. This SHOULD fix a microphone issues seen by a good chunk of players... hopefully.
We also have a gain slider now directly in-game to increase your microphone input volume.
Misc Changes
Increased max framerate to 240 (apparently some monitors go that high!)
Moved buttons in the settings to the bottom of the panel (ie: Delete Old Photos is no longer at the very top)
Added a button in settings that behaves like getlogs command to streamline bug reports.
Added a button in settings that behaves like opensavedata command for the same reason
"Points of Interest" tab now has an index page.
Raised the price of Scrapbook Pages Upgrade
