Today, we've implemented another set of fixes for Distant Bloom. This marks the fifth update since you got your hands on the game. During this time, you've provided us with valuable feedback that has helped us work on improving your gaming experience. In total we’ve managed to address over 25 issues and add quite a few 'quality of life' improvements!
Thank you for your involvement!
Check out the full list of recent changes below:
April 8th
- NPC's should spawn correctly in base after the main questline is completed.
- Sick beasts should now properly display the "New Recipe Unlocked" notification when scanned (a minor blueprint node was missing).
- The snot monsters near the Deep Timberlands crystallite have been removed, and the nearby root bridge has been replaced with a wooden bridge.
- WASD movement in the UI should now be fully functional (the W key was not working properly).
- Foliage suppression for buildings was somewhat incorrectly set up but should now be functioning properly (minor fix).
- Loading zone fix for the wetlands 1 - forest 1 transition area.
- Fixed a collision issue for the ascended architecture staircase near the Mederi vista point in forest 1.
- Reverted plant sims to be blocked, fixed a bug in critter/creep monster spawn logic that could multiply the amount.
- Added a Quality of Life (QOL) improvement for the base where we increase the number of critters when planting in hot pools and the quarry, as well as in the base itself. Also made it randomize so we don't only have snabels in the base.
April 4th
- Further improvements in Lightning during sunset/night hours.
