Beta v 0.6.4.7
There were problems with the new system duplicating things and sometimes erasing things. They turned out to be one and the same problem as structures could duplicate, and then both be trying to update the same save data causing one structure to overwrite it's copy where facilities like storage chests may have been placed. This also explains duplicating building pieces as was being reported. A similar part of the same problematic system was also causing monoliths and animals to duplicate creating sometimes a dozen guards for a single area instead of the usual 2-3, or "ghost" animals that seemed unresponsive.
This patch fixes all of that, and should be a much more stable experience.
There are still some small problems with fruit trees and towns aren't fully upgraded yet. I'll be working on those today, and hopefully moving on to caves and other "world encounters" tomorrow before upgrading the current biome generation system which is still running in "chunks" for simplicity.
There has also been a couple reports of crashes from Radeon card users. I am also a Radeon card user along with many other players, so it's not necessarily all Radeon cards, but there are definitely some crashes going on. It looks to be a Unity engine GPU communication error, so not likely something I can actively "fix". I've reached out to Unity for support, though should anyone run into this I would definitely recommend trying to upgrade your graphics card drivers for starters, and please let me know if it happens.
