[p][/p][h3] MASSIVE CPU OPTIMIZATIONS [/h3][h3] MASSIVE NETWORK OPTIMIZATIONS[/h3][h3] NEW MECHANICS[/h3][h3] NEW UI[/h3][p][/p][p]After MANY attempts, I have finally been able to rebuild the fishing system from scratch and got it to run locally on each clients machine. This means that the host’s PC will no longer have sad thoughts while running multiplayer, while remaking there were also MANY optimizations made which increase performance even for single player gameplay.  Since this new system doesn't require the host to run. Ping should no longer affect this system (probably).[/p][p]The new system uses both LMB and RMB, it should be much more intuitive and easier to get the hang of while still being difficult. Instead of Using LMB to REEL you now will reel in constantly, but if you are in the center of the bar it will reel faster, and on the sides it will reel slow. The UI was also overhauled with a new aesthetic and is displayed in-game attached to the pole (You can still use the classic on-screen UI by enabling the setting in the esc menu.)[/p][p](There may still be a few bugs with this system as it was a major overhaul so if you do encounter any issues please let me know on discord or steam discussions and I will have them fixed asap)[/p]

• [p]Bobber is much smoother now when moving in water.[/p]
• [p]The size of the fish (not just species) now plays a large role on the difficulty to catch a given fish. This means that you won't spend two minutes reeling in a tiny paddlefish.[/p]

• [p]Amount of days survived bonus is now less randomized.[/p]
• [p]Nerfed Beer Bonus[/p]
  • [p]Before it would give an 80% bonus when max drunk (8% boost per beer)[/p]
  • [p]Beer is now nerfed and changed to a new formula, instead of 8% per beer the formula has been changed for a float graph that makes the first beer drank worth 8% boost and then each beer after worth slightly less, (the new max boost after 9.9 beers is 30%.[/p]

[h2]Other changes[/h2]

• [p]Thunder Storm bonus changed from 20% -> 25%[/p]
• [p]Fishing at Night time now gives a 10% bonus to bait score. (18:00 and after)[/p]

• [p]Butcher Table now required 20% more fish point value for each tier of bait
  -For example, before you would need a point value of 45 in order to get the best butchered bait. Now a fish will need to be worth atleast 60 points[/p][p]https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/45576697/82d5b4161800f0bf60e0912a05d44f7695b8b726.png[/p][p][/p]

like seriously [/p]

[p]YO[/p][p]
For the next week or so there wont be as many updates since me and my brother are working on some major features atm.
Im currently working on the new arctic map and my brother is working on remaking the fishing system from scratch.

For those who want to know more...
The arctic map will be slightly larger than the Jungle map
-It will contain around 10 new species of bait
-15 new fish[/p][p]- new legendary fish[/p][p]- new monsters ofcourse[/p][p]-new tech for traversing the map[/p][p]-floating/moving icebergs[/p][p]-lots of other stuff... im cooking rn [/p][p][/p][p]Fishing system rework... The primary issue with the current fishing system is that the entire system runs on the hosts computer. This causes extra ping and cpu usage on the hosts computer which is a poor expeirence for both the hosts and the client.[/p][p]-There will also be changes to the fishing mechanic itself but that is still very much work in progress[/p][p][/p][h2]PATCH NOTES[/h2]

• [p]Added an achievement for catching the new mythic fish[/p]
• [p]Added an achievement for buying the new high tier rod upgrade[/p]
• [p]Readded the boat back to the jungle map[/p]
• [p]Reduced cpu overhead by around ~20% [/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug where playing on the jungle map could cause massive cpu spikes[/p]
• [p]Optimized how much cpu fish use in order to reduce lag when there are tons of fish
  [/p][p][/p][p][/p]

• [p]Fixed Dunk not being properly displayed above head.[/p]
• [p]Fixed bug where ai would get stunk on the tree trunks in the swamp[/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug where blue gills would reproduce infintelty on the butcher table[/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug where the Hev (the lake cave monster) would venture out of his cave and kill people without mercy[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where the lighthouse hotspot location would only be accessible via boat[/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug where the Stalker creature would spawn much to often[/p]
• [p]FIxed a bug where the grill would appear on but not cook fish[/p]

[p]
[/p]

[p]yo

I noticed no one has caught the fancy new fish:( This update should help out with that

I spent the last 6-7 hours working on some cpu optimiztions for yall aswell, sadly you won't be able to cook eggs on your cpu anymore... In addition to the things I fixed already, the primary cause for cpu spikes has to do with the fishing system when playing multiplayer, which is now officially under construction (it has to be completely rewritten plz pray for your local dev)
[/p][p]Also if you experienced a "fatal error" crash that should be fixed now aswell

thanks for playing i owe yall big time [/p]

[p]Fixed a bug where certain fish could not be sold or sacrificed[/p][p]Fixed a bug where player move speed would not be reset after swapping off your fishing rod before the bobber hits the water[/p]
