Today we’re releasing next in line of updates for Aquatico. Backbone of this update is new pack of optimizations. Since last one was added, we’ve identified few new avenues that can help in further increasing the performance of the game. Mainly, switch between ocean floor level and upper dome level wasn’t properly managed, plus upper dome level now has majority of the same optimizatons present with models on the ocean floor level.



Improvements include some level of distance tweaks, corrections to shadow drawing, and a lot of optimizations to raw 3D models of buildings, corals and fish. All combined it will help with frame rate, especially in later stages of the game, and while using dome level camera view.

Besides that, this update also includes numerous bugfixes and the addition of three different keyboard layouts, something that was frequently asked for by the players.

CHANGELOG

• ADDED: Selection between QWERTY, AZERTY and QWERTZ keyboard layouts
  
• OPTIMIZED: Lots of 3D models of buildings, corals, fish and other ingame objects
  
• IMPROVED: Overall game performance while using dome level camera view
  
• FIXED: Label on production bonus bar now has correctly added global bonus included
  
• FIXED: Shadows on numerous 3D models are now enabled/disabled at correct LODs

Hopefully v1601.0 helps all of you and makes for a better playthrough experience!

Keep an eye on your oxygen levels!

Updated the map. We will add more buildings and monsters next time

We've been working on improvements to raid mechanics, as some of you at later stages of the game were getting multiple raids a day, resulting in slowed down progression. Additionally, a common bug with cauldron has been fixed and many other improvements were introduced. Thank you for your support!

• Made raid threat not increase same day of the raid, increase by half the next day.
  
• Made killing bandits only contribute to main settlement's raid threat instead of closest outpost; threat for outposts is still generated by their value.
  
• Modified animal respawning and migration logic; now it should be easier to find them.
  
• Fixed Granite missing from order list in Pit.
  
• Added remapping Tech Tree button (default U).
  
• Rebalanced some of the prices in village trading; this change will come into effect on the next in-game day. Larger rebalance is planned.
  
• Fixed Canvas not being visible in storage rules of stockpiles.
  
• Fixed Cauldron locking recipes when using raw food of different spoilage time.
  
• Increased Wolf Fang drop rate to be in line with other trophies.
  
• Temporarily removed laundry meshes from Weaver Hut to prevent workers getting stuck.
  
• Fixed crash related to villagers harvesting resources for constructions in neutral villages.

BugFix steam

Hi again everyone.

We've just released an update to address a few issues and rein back the Ave'brenn a little bit.

• Fixed an issue causing the game to hang on the 'Waiting for voters' pop up in single player.
  
• Fixed an issue with Army strength not being calculated correctly if one of your planets is taken on the same turn you try to take someone else's.
  
• Fixed an issue that allowed fleets to bypass enemy fleets stationed in a black hole system.
  
• Fixed a rare single-player crash.

The Ave'brenn seem to have dropped in very strongly, so we're updating them a bit to slow down their Culture spread and XP gain a bit.

• 'Keepers of Ave'brenn': Increased the cost to trigger the factions Faith ability to 15 (from 12).
  
• Fanatic: Decreased XP gained for using Rain Fire to 20 (from 25).
  
• Seeker: Reduced XP gain per discovered system to 6 (from 8).
