Patch 1.062 (25 October 2018)

Windows/Mac/Linux:
- Fixed some situations where text would not display correctly in some languages.

Mac/Linux:
- Fixed issues previously introduced by the 2018 patch, like incorrect text display on Linux and missing audio on Mac. Both versions are now on the latest 2018 patch.

Patch v1.3.1 (23 October 2018)

Slime Rancher v1.3.1 represents a significant overhaul to the way that a lot of backend systems work and while overall it should produce significant gains in performance, it may produce unexpected issues that we did not catch in our testing process. Should you experience any issues with v1.3.1, please email support@monomipark.com and we’ll be sure to help you right away!

The Optimized Update
The Optimized Update is here to improve overall performance of Slime Rancher. Yes, even though we're nearly 3 years out from initial release, we're still hard at work to make Slime Rancher the best possible experience for everyone!


Game Optimization:
We have upgraded Slime Rancher’s game engine which will bring performance improvements for a majority of players!
- We did a lot of technical wizardry, but the short of it is we upgraded the game engine to Unity 2018 and all game data has been reorganized to optimize the way we store data and manage certain game states.
- Most PC players, as well as all Xbox and PS4 players should see improved performance and overall frame rate.
- DirectX 9 is no longer supported. More on this here.[forums.monomipark.com]

Drone Improvements:
Drones got a nice little update that allows them to deliver to the Refinery and improves how they interact with some targets/destinations!

For plorts only:
- Refinery and Refinery Link have been added as a destination—for science!
- Updated “Outside Plots” to a new “Free Range” option. Drones set to “Free Range” will collect the target item from anywhere on the ranch expansion that is not in storage (e.g. Silos, Plort Collectors).
- Updated programming interface to clarify that drones can deliver to the Plort Market via Market Links when you’re in another ranch expansion. The destination will dynamically update to either read “Plort Market” or “Market Link” depending on where you are.

Miscellaneous:
- Updated incinerator programming so they now serve the sole purpose of feeding fire slimes rather than infinitely destroying items. Drones will only deliver food to incinerators until the ash trough is full. If you’re looking to burn two thousand carrots because you really hate carrots, you’re going to have to do that manually. But come on, they’re just carrots.
- Drones are now able to deliver food directly from silos to corrals.

New & Updated Translations:
- Added Korean translation!
- Completely overhauled the French translation!
- Updated the Chinese translation!

Other:
- Updated the super secret Party Gordo schedule. Wondering who the Party Gordo is? Check out the details over in the Party Gordo Update notes.[forums.monomipark.com]

Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where fruits and veggies would almost always be unripe in an area that you haven’t visited in awhile.
- Added a fix that will prevent some cases of items getting stuck below ground in Ogden’s Retreat.
- Fixed drone trail artifacts upon re-entering areas with drones.
- Fixed it so that drones would stop grabbing carrots out of gardens instead of odd onions while you’re not looking.
- Fixed a bug where certain other slime types were counting towards the Omnivorous achievement.
- Fixed gamepad bindings buttons being invisible in certain resolutions.
- Fixed an issue where the ash trough was not correctly remembering its fullness after a save/reload.
- Fixed a few instances where some game translations would overflow in the UI.
- Fixed the “Reset Defaults” button on the gamepad options panel leaving the invert-y-axis option in an inconsistent state which was resulting in some players not knowing what was up and what was down.
- Fixed an issue where plorts didn’t know if they should stay or they should go after a save/load.
- Fixed ferals sometimes cooling off after jumping into water while chasing you. This involved delicately balancing their ‘Hangry’ parameter. Game development is fun.
- Fixed a bug where gold slimes were leaving an incorrectly, unfabulously colored splat.

Again, if you encounter any oddities with this update please contact us at support@monomipark.com

Happy ranching!

##### Fleet Battles Balance Changes

##### Tywom

* Despite being the first ship players get access to in the Adventure Mode, it’s incredibly powerful and one of the best. The incredibly rapid fire rate of the main gun made it too good at bursting enemy ships down. In particular, the Spawn Turret mechanic could be quite exploitative and anti-fun by encouraging the player to avoid the enemy spawning turrets and never engaging directly. These changes will make the Tywom play more actively and make it feel like more of a starter ship.
* Tywom Bolt cooldown increased from 1.5 to 2.25
* Turret duration reduced from 30 to 15
* Max turrets reduced from 5 to 3
* Points reduced from 12 to 10

##### Greegrox Swarm

* The Greegrox was far too difficult to hit with projectiles due to the tiny Collision box combined with instant direction changing. These changes will make the Greegrox easier to hit.
* Collision box increased from 0.25 to 0.30
* Acceleration reduced from 18 to 12
* Points reduced from 12 to 10

##### Measured Response

* The Measured Response could be very frustrating to play against due to the permanent slows and difficulty to hit due to high acceleration, small hitbox and instant direction changes. It will be easier to hit and its weapons are getting toned down to justify its 7 points cost.
* Red Tape now only temporarily slows instead of permanent slows
* Acceleration reduced from 20 to 14
* Invitation damage reduced from 10 to 8

##### Terran Cruiser

* The Earthling Cruiser was too fragile and too clunky too control. These changes will make the Terran Cruiser stronger and more fun to play
* Health increased from 19 to 24Turn rate increased from 75 to 85

##### Lexite Interceptor

* The Lexite Interceptor was far too strong to justify its low 9 point cost.
* Points increased from 9 to 11

##### Trandals Frigate

* The raw power of the Trandal Weapon was too much, especially when combined with its massive mobility allowing it to flank enemy ships or pickup all the salvage easily.
* Laser Ribbon Bola damage per second reduced from 150 to 110

##### Scryve Probe

* Like the Tywom Bolt, the Scout Shot was able to burst targets down far too quickly despite also having the dangerous self-destruct.
* Scout Shot damage reduced from 6 to 5
* Scout shot cooldown increased from 1.5 to 2.25
* This is intended to also affect other ships using Scout Shot.

##### Drenkend Carrier

* The Drenkend Carrier was too strong to justify 12 points. The De-energizer Bolt could be quite exploitative due to it’s rapid-fire and low energy cost, which could permanent chain stun targets.
* Points increased from 12 to 16
* De-energizer Bolt energy cost increased from 5 to 10
* De-energizer bolt cooldown increased from 0.4 to 0.8

##### Xraki Devourer

* The Xraki Devourer was too strong at 12 points. The long range and massive energy pool encouraged the ship to avoid the enemy and fly away poking long range black holes, which also were deadly at close range. Lowering the range of the Black Hole projectile will force the Xraki ship to approach the enemy more.
* Points increased from 12 to 14
* Energy cost reduced from 100 to 85
* Black hole duration reduced from 5 to 2.5

##### Menkmack Negotiator

* The Menkmack Negotiator was too weak for 12 points.
* Points cost reduced from 12 to 10

##### Phamyst Consumer

* Invitation was far too spammable at only 10 energy as it practically had no drain on the Phamyst, given the huge range and lack of required aiming it was too powerful.
* Invitation Energy cost increased from 10 to 20

##### Kzanti Intimidator

* The Kzanti ship was frustrating to verse as it was overly nimble and able to knock the enemy away with Repulsor. It will now be slightly less agile and not be able to spam Repulsor on top of planting mines. Especially important as this was one of the first ships the player would encounter in the Adventure Mode.
* Points cost reduced from 13 to 11
* Repulsor energy cost increased from 5 to 10
* Max speed reduced from 6.5 to 6
* Acceleration reduced from 6.75 to 6
