New Locations!

• We've added 8 new locations in total to visit in Ficterra. These are spread across several of the biomes that were a little lacking in locations

• These locations are:

  • Buried Tower, a gardener tower buried under the Giant Crystalscape biome. Discover the secrets buried with it

  • Selenite Obelisk, a large obelisk made of selenite in the Giant Crystalcape biome, what lies at its core?

  • Mythic Marble, a small chunk of marble with some hidden mythic ore found in the Maquis biome

  • Prison Tower, raid a dragon whelp prison for riches in the Red Rock Desert biome

  • Staggering Rock Formation, a larger than normal rock formation that holds a surprise in the Red Rock Desert Biome

  • Ice Obelisk, an obelisk made of ice in the Snow Rock Mountains biome

  • Storage Bunker, a hidden, snowed in and frozen bunker in the Snow Rock Mountains biome

  • Swamp Treehouse, explore a rundown treehouse high atop the trees in the Swamp Biome

  

Better Performance

• Completely rebuilt the mesh building system

• Mesh building now takes advantage of multithreading

• Mesh building now uses Unity's burst compiler for better performance

• Variant's meshes now have less triangles due to more advanced culling, this reduces load on the gpu

• The new system only supports texture arrays; if you have an older system the game should default to the previous mesh building method instead

Other

• Added the ability to turn on/off multithreaded mesh building in the options

• Fixed a bug causing the game to self identify as Spacewar

• Fixed a bug where the game would delete the 'no minimap' texture

• Added a shadow on the Research Screen behind the research box at the bottom

• Fixed a bug where exiting the settings menu via Esc caused the character to be unable to move

• Fixed a bug where pressing Esc when not in controller mode in the main menu would send the game into controller mode
