[h3]v0.2.0d Experimental Info:[/h3]
- Testing Cycle: ~1 week
- Experimental Saves: Enabled
- Backwards Compatible: Up to 0.2.0
- Update Type: Experimental Patch
- Contains Spoilers: Yes
[h2]Patch Notes[/h2]
The following is a list of changes pushed to the experimental branch. While changes are usually tested beforehand, please note that some may require further testing to validate.
[h3]General Improvements:[/h3]
- Re-Added the placement sound heard when drones construct a building
- Added new sound effects for the drone ports opening and closing
[h3]Bug Fixes:[/h3]
- Fixed generators continously adding power to your power storage.
- Fixed an issue where buildings without a utility resource would cause the unlock window to error out, resulting in the Entity Manager terminating the lab that finished the tech.
[h3]Core Tech:[/h3]
- Improved the efficiency of the entity pooling system & model cache system, by switching out the ID keys for hash keys, and storing recycled entities in a stack instead of a list.
- Re-enabled automated on-screen status updates. This was disabled earlier on in v0.2.0's development and never re-enabled, meaning in the builds prior to this all entities were simulating as on-screen entities. This is now fixed and performance improvements should be noticeable.
- Removed the entity priority system. This was tested in the initial v0.2.0 builds by having it disabled, and performance impacts were reported as being negligible from this change. Optimizations will continue to be made on each entities individual logic, utilizing the screen status to cull more expensive calculations or actions, and improving other areas of the overall simulation.
