It skipped a few numbers as the roadmap items and goals got completed

I think the 2.X.Xs might be more normal with smaller jumps if any

I got a bug when I tried to move to the macroscopic stage.

You should use [pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com) to report such long error logs
* * *
It seems like 2 of my multicellular editor savefiles are unopenable without an error popping up? I suppose I will send a link to download those saves right away

Yeah, in general it seems macroscopic triggers an auto-evo error constantly by trying to run auto-evo on a macroscopic species. So we’ll have a fix where auto-evo again ignores macroscopic species like it should.

The save seems to have the player in extremely broken state already. If I let myself die and respawn, then everything seems fine.
Going to the editor and exiting does seem to show the bug. It just takes _extremely_ long to go to the editor due to auto-evo.
Edit: now when I tried it again, I spawned in with the full mass budding count. So it somehow seems random?
Maybe it has something to do with despawning entities or something like that?

Am I the only one for whom the game doesn’t want to proceed into the gameplay part after getting 20 cells?

I opened an issue for the mass budding problem as I cannot fix it right away:
>
>
> For some reason it seems nearest cells to the player are missing in some cases a…fter mass budding when the count is relatively high (confirmed at least with 11).
>
> Here's a save where the player is extremely bugged, but respawns properly. I managed to trigger this problem once from the save by respawning, going to the editor (this takes very long due to auto-evo) and then exiting. But I've now tried it 4 times and I only was able to trigger the bug once. So it seems pretty rare and hard to track down. I used commit \`252ce367e36d3e945f7a3f15281ceb679cfdc133\` to test so at least that can reproduce this issue.

Here is a save file that allows you to quickly get in the editor, if you place the cells in such a way that the multicellular organism looks like a big hexagon with 1 small hexagon on top, totaling 20 cells, and press the proceed button, the game won’t seem to ever load the gameplay part of the game

Did you wait 5+ minutes? I’ve seen the same case, I think, in which case the layout algorithm tries hard for multiple minutes before giving up and doing a really quick and dirty conversion, allowing the game to proceed.

That was just the “usual” multicellular auto-evo failing. It’s an unrelated error to what I was talking about.

So I’ve looked into this and it seems like that after the multicellular autoevo fails, all editor saves that follow will be corrupted and unopenable, throwing out this log:

No I think they are working on fixing those issue, especially the multicellular autoevo crash?

As of pretty much now, we’ve managed to patch, I think, every single new reported issue. There’s still some non-fixed reports but I’m pretty sure they were related to game functions that already existed, i.e. they aren’t new bugs in this release.

That should make 1.6 ready to release either today or tomorrow.
I feel like with this release multicellular gets a MASSIVE jump in quality when compared to the previous iterations of the stage and I suppose it goes to show the stage is now some 60% complete…
Also a bit of an unrelated topic but I can imagine the jump from 1.1 to 1.6 will raise questions for quite the long time, as we’ve even already had an user touch that in the 1.6 livestream questions.
