Update 2.3

Hello again! I just published a big update for this game.

I've been updating Factory Town 2 (which is 20% off this week, hint hint, see below), and realized a lot of these optimizations and improvements could be back-ported to the original game:

• Boats now can navigate straight across the ocean, no more weird zig-zag paths. They will more reliably reach distant targets, and performance for boat pathfinding is improved. They will also smoothly change direction as they navigate through the water.

• Airship pathfinding has also improved, and they will also more more smoothly and can find paths around large, tall obstacles instead of flying awkwardly over them.

• All kinds of various performance improvements: removed unnecessary physics calculations, unnecessary transform updates for out-of-view units, and redundant building auto-output calculations. Added distance-based culling of structure icons, batched rendering of belt & pipe items, and instanced building renders.

• Fixed big lag that can occur when opening the World Data panel on very large towns

• Fixed bug: distant terrain drawing at wrong tint

• Fixed bug: slot package setting changes via right-click wasn’t updating the item slot detail panel immediately

• Fixed bug: Audio sliders appeared to default at zero

• Fixed bug: Ambient audio could remain playing when exiting to the main menu

• Fixed bug: Effect particles could get mixed up

• Fixed bug: deleting a train could result in double refunds

• Fixed bug: copied barns had max capacity but still allowed upgrades

• Fixed bug: possible to place duplicate fish if you modified terrain with a fish in the column

• Fixed bug that would break compute block processing: attaching an inventory sensor to a building, then moving the building (or the sensor), and deleting the sensor.

If there are any other pressing bugs or long-wished-for features, let me know in the comments, or on the Discord, and I'll see what I can do!

Cheers,

Erik
