Patch 1.0.27

Hey Birders, we have a new patch that adds a lot of fixes, stability improvements, and a much-needed moderation tool. We're going to be doing more bug-bashing in the near future.

1.0.27

Major Feature: Banning

  • You can now "Ban" players from your lobby, preventing them from being able to rejoin.

  • When you ban a player, they will not be allowed to join any lobby you host ever again.

  • You can unban them manually in the developer console with banlist (to list IDs of all banned players) and unban <id> (using the ID from the first command). I don't expect you'll want to unban people often so this is high friction on purpose.

Level Changes

  • Birds should no longer perch on top of bushes that have other bushes stacked on top of them

  • There is now a Dock in the marsh

Minor Features

  • Lobby Code Only lobbies will now show up in the Join Game menu if your friend is the host.

  • Fully replaced the profanity filter.

  • Scrapbook upgrades are cheaper and don't scale as dramatically (it should now be easier to get the camera upgrade achievement)

  • Birds will sometimes face forward/backwards while eating

  • When scoped into the Camera or Binoculars, the zoom buttons are now hinted in the bottom right corner

  • You will now be warped to the outhouses when if you fall out of the world.

  • There is now a Reduced Motion setting that turns off some UI motion effects. Namely: Develop-O-Tron UI becomes much more static, and shimmer on new photos goes away.

  • There is now a Brightness setting that will change the gamma of the 3D graphics (does not affect UI).

Bird Changes

  • Added more detail to Crow and Raven wings

Bug Fixes

  • Removed stray collider in the middle of the lake

  • If you fail to connect to a lobby, you should get sent back to the title screen more often (previously you'd just hang in the loading screen)

  • The Waterfall sound is now affected by the SFX Volume slider
