First impressions about new update (0.8.1.1)

The pressure slider is ridiculously finicky. I have to get it pixel-perfect - that is not an exaggeration - to get the bonus. I’m doing this with a trackpad.

Problem is that pressures are ridiculously different on the surface versus the deep ocean (it was someone’s really good idea to make the Thrive oceans max out at almost 6000 m deep). What makes it easier to adjust is just clicking the slider and then using the left and right arrow keys to adjust it.

I’ve opened an issue about improving the slider:

Valid ranges for the pressure sliders on the surface are very small

There’s a UV slider, but not the one for more general radiation that I was promised.

I don’t know what to say other than this was not promised.

For some godforsaken reason, I’m able to leave my game idle with engulf active because a gigantic horde of cells is following me with single-minded determination to the point of starvation, for no apparent reason, staying targeting me even if I turn around and go the other way. In fact, I’ve stopped engulfing them because they all got too big to do so! They’re still chasing me and when they all divide I’ll start engulfing again, no doubt. Ridiculous!

I had a similar thing happen, but I was moving between 3 patches and this only happened in one of them.

So it is just gameplay variety from stuff evolving. Though, this shouldn’t be too common as it leads to people reporting it as a “bug”. So hopefully it isn’t too prevalent as I have no idea what would need to be adjusted to make this less likely to happen.

It seems to have no impact on the species’ population, although in one editor step they vanished without a trace and a new species appeared. (Editorwise. They’re still loaded in the patch.)

So it did affect them? Probably the external effects dropping the population due to deaths on screen would have been very massive.
