Forager News

Hey Foragers!

This will be a quick update to fix most bugs found on Betas 8 and 8.1 as we approach the final release date! I am so freaking excited!

I should note that apparently Microsoft has recently screwed something up on a recent WIndows update, and this may be causing lag issues for some videogames. We haven't had any issues at all with Forager but I thought I would mention it just in case!

• Amulets now work with digging (they used to only buff Sand drops).
  
  
• Added a few more things to the Extra Content menu (including the game's development story), marking it as officially completed! (for now anyway!).
  
  
• Added automatic savefile backup reading when the current savefile can't be loaded for any reason.
  
  
• Added localization for all the missing text strings from Beta 7 and onwards.
  
  
• Large numbers are now abbreviated (1,000 is 1k, 1,000,000 is 1M, etc.)
  
  
• Shrines are more expensive and have longer cooldowns.
  
  
• Bosses have higher resistance to Freeze (to avoid cheesy permafreezing).
  
  
• Some more performance optimizations were added. For even higher FPS!
  

• Fixed a crash that would happen when having more than 20 items on your hotbar.
  
• Rainbow puzzle was not working correctly. (Some mushrooms would not spawn, or rewards could be gotten more than once).
  
• Fixed an issue that caused explosion effects to randomly crash the game.
  
• Fixed an issue that was causing bridges to become invisible.
  
• Area of effect circles for buildings no longer draw on top of the HopFrog trivia minigame.
  
• Fixed an issue that was preventing a switch puzzle in the fire biome to be solved.
  
• Fixed an issue that was preventing certain objects to melt outside of the Crystal Cave dungeon.
  
• Fixed a few issues that would get the player stuck in specific positions.
  
• Fixed an issue that would prevent any building from being placed immediately adjacent to an Offshore Drill or an Inscription Table.
  
• Fixed several resource spawn collision issues.
  
• Fixed an issue in which the spike traps in the Graveyard biome would not disappear after getting the 4 small treasure chests inside.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused it to randomly use seeds when planting without actually spawning the saplings.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the Waterproof achievement (build on top of every water tile) to be unobtainable.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the normal Rods to appear again after upgrading them at the Spirit Crystal.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the Flower Press to not show accurate Coal and Steel counts when crafting stuff.
  
• Fixed a rare issue that would case the build menu to not contain any options at all.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused certain buildings to get negative efficiency after boosting them TOO much (for example: using a Droid, a Power Plant and the Thunder Rod on a Shrine).
  
• Fixed an issue that would cause NPCs to randomly disappear to never be seen again...
  
• Fixed an issue that would cause NPCs to give multiple rewards by quickly spamming E when completing a quest.
  
• Fixed an issue that would allow Demon Scrolls to be infinitely spammed when used directly from the inventory menu.
