Topic: Good work on the most recent patch (12/05)

It's refreshing to see issues getting addressed quickly and minor balance changes getting tested out again. Small balance changes keep this game interesting as it effects the flavour of the month a lot.

I haven't tested the patch yet but the patch notes are impressive and I think just what this game needed after the expansion.

Good work.

I'm surprised on the patch update specially as it is 150MB, but anyway fixes are spot on nice to see so soon after expansion. +1

When they make a terrain change, even 1 tile, the entire map has to be updated. Currently is just over 1,800 assets in the game data files. From icons to sounds and even island and robot models.

They said in the patch notes to expect a large patch. I honestly like that they're fixing age old terrain issues and cleaning up some of the new ramps.

I'm impressed too. Cookies for all devs.

Or perhaps they prefer beer?

That cleared up a lot of outstanding issues, excellent!

Beer flavor and sweet/salty peanut butter cookies, so they taste good and make you thirsty for a real beer too...

I was going to say no. Just no. Even if peanuts are involved.

But then I discovered such things do exist. As do beer and pretzel marshmallows.

I promise to send some when POS/terraforming is released.

Cookies before beer... this must be the Hungarian way because it doesn't fly on this side of the world...

Actually the terrain gets updated in real-time if you go to an area, but we prefer to update the whole terrain data from time to time so that the 2d map and the silhouette of the terrain is up to for everyone, not just the people who frequent a certain area.
