American Woodcock (and more new birds!)
Friend Shaped Games
Jun 8
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
