A desert gardening survival game. Start from a tiny spring and cultivate a blooming garden. Explore a vast world amid the sands and uncover its mysteries. Can you defend against the relentless forces of nature and mysterious wraith corruption, to bring life to a dying world?
Hi Wildmenders!
We’ve got another patch for you with some bugfixes and performance improvements, as well as a couple of difficulty adjustments. Thanks so much for all your feedback! Build 209a has just been released on Steam, XBox, and PS5, with the following:
[b]Changed[/b]
[list]
[*] When a structure is destroyed or deconstructed, it now drops a larger fraction of the materials used
[*] Adjusted how Dust Storm spawns are randomized to make them more consistent over time (the mean time between them remains about 7 days, but extremely short or long intervals are no longer possible)
[*] Adjusted water evaporation in partially-sheltered areas and around sunrise/sunset to be closer to how the game behaved at release
[*] Reduced the collateral damage dealt by a certain unique wraith’s footsteps
[*] Increased the spoilage reduction provided by Preservation Baskets (from 50% to 25% spoilage speed)
[*] Removed the ability to open the debug overlay with a controller (it was too easy to hit the hidden button combination accidentally)
[/list]
[b]Fixed[/b]
[list]
[*] Fixed plant species that are immune to drowning (Witchwood and Glowstick) showing “Will Drown” in the planting HUD
[*] Fixed some cases where a player could get stuck on an unwalkable slope (deep corners or ditches)
[*] Fixed water drain attacks not respecting the Wraith Damage difficulty setting
[*] Fixed a certain wraith’s trail of corruption not respecting the Corruption Spread difficulty setting
[*] Fixed an edge case where wraith attacks could still start during certain quests that disabled them
[*] Fixed an error that could prevent quests that require the player to defeat all nearby wraiths from completing
[*] Fixed the clock displaying incorrectly on guest players after about Day 249
[*] Fixed an error that could cause certain gods’ journal entries to not unlock as intended
[*] Fixed an inconsistency in how Wellstones handled water overflow (they stopped at a shallower depth than other springs)
[/list]
[b]Performance Improvements[/b]
[list]
[*] Reduced the density of rendered leaves on large trees based on your Quality setting, to improve framerate on low-end hardware in dense gardens.
[*] Improved how terrain in the distance selects the resolution it renders at
[*] Reduced stuttering from AI processing immediately after loading a dense garden
[*] Made further improvements to shadows, culling and leaf shaders
