Welcome back, Core Keepers! It’s time to dig into the latest stability patch, version 1.0.1.4, like a kid unearthing treasures in their backyard sandbox (don’t ask how I know about that). With some nifty updates and bug fixes, this patch promises to smooth out the rough edges of your underground escapades while keeping the fun intact.
Gameplay Improvements
- Gear Management Made Easier: You can now equip gear straight from your hotbar with a right-click! No more fumbling around like an amateur at a party trying to figure out how to mix drinks.
- Crafting Stations Salvageable: Anvils and smelters are now part of the salvage club, meaning you can reclaim resources like a true hoarder, er, resource manager.
Performance Enhancements
If you’ve ever felt like Core Keeper was lagging behind in performance, fret not! This update sprinkles some magic dust on various effects:
- The flame particles? Now they get updated on their own little worker thread instead of hogging your main thread!
- No more Urschleim particles cluttering up your experience when playing on Low particle quality settings.
- The electric beam effect has also gotten smarter, it won’t waste resources updating unless it’s actually visible on-screen!
- Sick of those pesky sprinkler animations eating away at memory? Not anymore!
Bugs Be Gone!
This section is where we really see the developers flexing their muscles. A slew of bugs have been squashed:
- You can finally switch between crafting stations without bringing your UI to its knees, you’re welcome!
- No more button hints crashing the loading screen party, they’ve been kicked out for good.
- A few visual hiccups with ore boulders and crystal gemstones have been addressed as well. They may have looked pretty, but if they weren’t functioning correctly, what’s the point?
This isn’t just cosmetic fluff either, issues with tile destruction using beam weapons and inventory shortcuts have seen fixes too! If you love getting lost in maps (and who doesn’t?), map markers now center themselves perfectly at your cursor position, no more wandering aimlessly through pixelated caverns.
Smoother Multiplayer Experience
If you’ve dipped your toes into multiplayer chaos lately, you’ll appreciate these Playfab improvements:
- The Cartography Table is no longer lagging behind when being used, it’s ready for action!
- A new message about “Too many join requests” will appear if you try spamming that refresh button like it owes you money.
If this update sounds enticing, and it absolutely should, you can dive deeper into all these details over at the official patch notes here. This version aims not only to fix problems but also enhance your gaming experience so every mining expedition feels fresh and invigorating again.
The Bottom Line
This patch does wonders by smoothing out gameplay mechanics while tackling annoying bugs head-on. So whether you’re crafting gear or exploring deeper caves solo or with friends, expect fewer interruptions and smoother sailing, or should I say digging? Grab your pickaxe and jump back into Core Keeper, adventure awaits beneath those layers of dirt!
