• [p] Increase damage to Cart Wheels on Terrains[/p]
• [p] Bumped up Seasonal Rain chance[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Immediate Feedback for BETA 029 was a drastic drop in performance.[/h2][p][/p][p]I dove in and updated a few systems as I was hunting for the culprit...and then finally found it. I posted it here in the discord: FPS Killer.[/p][p][/p][p]Overall it was a silly scanning trigger that had not been in use for awhile that was re-activated. It has now been removed and along with those other changes you should have MUCH BETTER FPS.[/p][p][/p][p]Apologies for the mistake, but it did lead to some other good improvements.[/p][p][/p][p]Of note, animal animations will have to be updated and I will do so tomorrow morning but wanted to get this Performance Fix out ASAP.[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks![/p][p][/p][h3]Steam should have the BETA 029.3 ready for you to update to for those that play the Beta Version.[/h3]

[h2]Good evening![/h2][p][/p][p]Thank you to all those who found the game through the Summer Sale and WELCOME![/p][p][/p][p]I did want to provide and update that I did not meet my goal of getting the Beta Patch 029 out today. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Firstly....I went ahead and added in an Updated Brake System to the cart that is more visual. [/p][p][/p]

• [p]If you are on the Discord you can see my post here showing it: Cart Brakes[/p]

[p][/p][p]Secondly...while yes the Cart Wheel Replacement system was working as intended....I felt better about changing it to allow for the better goal of:[/p]

1. [p]Purchase a wheel[/p]
2. [p]Apply the wheel[/p]
3. [p]Remove the wheel[/p]

[p]....all at your discretion and it's the actual wheel, the whole time, no gimmicks. Allowing it to be traded and damaged etc like any other item.[/p][p][/p][p]I'll be working hard tomorrow to get Step 3 of that process working and will of course keep you updated![/p][p][/p][p]Apologies for the delay![/p][p][/p][p]As always, I'm in Discord should you need anything.[/p]
