Hi everyone!
I'm happy to say that we've made huge progress toward Content Drop 1 over the last week, and we expect to deliver it sometime in the next 2-4 weeks for sure.
While working on all of those exciting as-yet-unannounced new features, we saw a few opportunities to improve performance and address some player feedback, and we felt we should put this update in your hands ASAP.
Changes in this update:
- There should now be much less 'lag' when placing or recycling buildings in very large colonies
- Optimized loading; some saved games with extremely large colonies (such as the one shown above) now load anywhere from 2x to 8x faster
- Fixed an issue with the Farm / Greenhouse productivity values not being shown properly if you dragged it outside the colony
- Added a read-only key binding to the key bindings list: "Hide Interface" (Ctrl-Alt-X) -- this is useful for taking screenshots. It's always been there but not all users were aware of it
- Fixed an issue that could cause the "Not All Citizens Relocated" notification to pop up twice in a row for the same residential structure
- Fixed a very rare stability issue related to Expedition Centers
- Fixed a issue that would sometimes show a medal in the main menu for levels that had been lost; these should only show up for missions that have been won
Thank you for being a part of the Aven Colony community! Your infectious enthusiasm keeps us going.
Hang tight; we've got some really exciting new content on the way, including Content Drop 1 and further updates after that.
We're also working closely with our partners at Team17 to finalize our development roadmap and we'll be sharing it with you as soon as we can.
