Background Play Update — Alt-Tab Fix

Planet Munchers · published · build 26323254

Your swarm can now keep munching while you use another window.

Changes

  • Alt-Tab no longer automatically pauses an expedition.
  • Swarm feeding and the expedition timer continue while the game is minimized, in windowed or fullscreen mode.
  • Minimized windows skip unnecessary rendering, reducing graphics work in the background.
  • Fixed a rendering issue caused by a zero-size window during minimize/restore.

Want to pause? Press Escape or use Menu before switching away. Opening the Steam overlay still pauses gameplay.

Thanks for reporting the issue and helping improve Planet Munchers!
