Demo 4.5

Hey Beekeepers!

This is a small update just to get you all up to speed with the fixes and changes that have been done for the Playtest/Beeta! Main things are fixing the light duplication/save lagging issue, adding an auto-save option that can be modified and turned off, and a few things to help clarify a few features that people seemed to be confused on.

[h2]Changes[/h2]
  • Auto-save is now a setting, by default set to 10 minutes
  • Auto-save only runs when the player isn't walking to reduce visible lagging for a splitsecond
  • Tweaked the drowning respawn teleport to only happen when no books are open so its clear why you teleported back to spawn
  • You can now view the contents of a backpack in the expanded tooltip like you can with crates
  • Reduced a little bit of lag when saving by caching world tiles but ultimately you're trying to save 5mb of save data in an instant and GM doesn't have async threads for that tasty json stringify so ;'(
  • Added tooltips to make it clear that pressing escape on a highlighted menu closes ONLY that menu - pressing escape when not highlighting a menu closes ALL open menus
  • Updated inventory progress bar to only show the 10 demo bee icons
  • Updated "Microscope It Out" quest to explain the recessive + buff symbols (≡, +, -)


[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]
  • Fixed the light source duplication on save, any saves with duplicated items will be deduped automatically when the game loads
  • Fixed backpacks not working after moving through gates or teleporting back to spawn after being stuck in deep water

  • Fixed no shadows showing underneath lanterns and lamps

  • Fixed leaving Royal Jelly in a hive preventing the queen from working
  • Fixed Noticeboard UI not updating position properly after moving the noticeboard menu then opening a quest notice
  • Fixed Noticeboard bee icon crashing when clicked twice
  • Fixed being able to open menu objects through books
  • Fixed cargo boat being drawn twice when moving left
  • Fixed items held in the mouse not being saved
