I’ll start as off with: Sound speed fix, sound now travels the same speed as light.
Lifespan of dogs and cats increased due to popular demand
Also optionally can be puppies for much longer but without the downsides.
Enabled wealth cap. Several players were holding on to massive amounts of money, artificially inflating the in-game economy and driving prices higher than the average player can realistically afford.
Bowser Revolution
Mosquitoes removed in the latest patch
Literal bug fix.
Fixed a timing bug were 5 hours of work only made the clock advance by 5 minutes, and 5 minutes of spare time randomly made the clock advance by 5 hours.
This breaks Einstein time dilation e2e tests. Please revert.
Sound speed fix, sound now travels the same speed as light.
This change has been reverted as it caused all high explosives to have the effect of nuclear weapons. The developers apologize for the inconvenience. In compensation, DNA has been given resistance to radiation damage: this reduces the speed of evolution, but prevents cancers from all the nuclear waste caused by the previous patch. As a bonus, humans with low melanin no longer develop skin cancer due to perfectly ordinary sunlight. Sunburn is still a hazard; wear sunscreen!
Yeah that one’s on me. I’m still an intern and thought it would be handy. ^^
Always try new features in prod
Wouldn’t this mean all matter could easily reach light speed?
Yes, sound is carried in waves of matter. If sound moved at light speed, the.matter must also. Interesting thought of the day, your heartbeat would explode your chest.
Sound waves are pressure waves, so it isn’t matter that moves in only one direction. It’s matter that moves back and forth. Therefore I assume the wave can propagate faster than the matter moves.
Fun fact:
When two objects collide, the maximum internal propagation speed of the shock wave is limited by the local speed of sound in the material itself, which is typically 2000-6000 meters per second (m/s).
In low earth orbit, satellites move faster than that, around 7000-7700 m/s. So when they collide (at up to twice that amount in closing velocity), the structure of the satellites is moving faster than the resulting internal shock wave. In one case, there was still a signal sent from a satellite a split second AFTER it had smashed through another satellite, because the resulting shock wave hadn’t finished destroying it yet.

Holy shit this makes so much sense!
Dammit, now the lips and words on Netflix don’t match.
Rotation now set to “standard” 24 hours exactly. No more wonky 23.99873 hours screwing up automated functions every 12 years.
And a year is exactly 360 days. Or maybe 364 so there are a perfect 52 weeks in the year.
Why not take this opportunity to make time base 10 for all meaningful measures?
100 weeks a year. 10 months wherein the moon orbits once. 10 hours per day.
Or even just base 2. I guess it probably matters most that planetary bodies have evenly divisible periods and we can figure out the rest.
Those weird hairless monkies destroying the planet now reproduce at 10% of the speed.
imagine being pregnant for 90 months
Or only one in ten births were viable, like the Krogan Genophage.
Just realised that in ME:Andromeda they changed it so Krogan lay clutches of eggs.
It was “births” in ME1-3
Or is it just everyone getting 90% less fertile?
Removed by mod
For clarity: I mean humans in general
OP: EARTH get an update.
Also OP: let me rewrite the laws of physics that apply to the entire universe.
For the America server, it’d be nice if they got rid of the MAGA.exe virus and patched the vulnerabilities it used to cause problems in the code.
Memory corruption bug is still there and it’d just come back in another form
Fixed typo resulting in ticks giving lyme disease instead of limes diseases. Ticks now properly feed on fruit juices instead of blood.
Finally I can enjoy nature the way it’s intended. Reading a book under a tree, Frodo style, without fucking dying.
Nothing too bad. Wasps and hornets now have knives. Enjoy 😊
Bug Fix 00567 - NPC Stacking:
Players have noticed that under certain situations NPCs can be “stacked” into unreasoning hordes which can allow a player to subjugate other players.
This was due to a buffer overflow condition in the Money, Power or Charisma stat causing it to overflow into a negative integer and causing an NPC’s Doubt and Reasoning stat to also go into a negative value.
“Stack of Dumb”
I believe this is one of the names the community has given to this exploit.
- Fixed pathfinding for common winged insects. When attempting to leave enclosed areas they should no longer bounce off windows two inches from the intended exit point.
The big skin color patch is here!
After hearing many player requests, human skin can now appear in popular colors such as gray, purple, orange, and iridescent turquoise.
Skin color heritability has been reduced, allowing the new colors to be introduced naturally at character creation time. We expect this will also reduce some skin-color-related bad behavior that players have reported.
For players wishing to change to one of the new (or old!) options, we’ve released a series of colorful plants that can be consumed to change skin color.
- Climate control bug has been fixed
- NPC balancing. Added air and land mammals that feed on humans. Added sea mammals that are super territorial and attack human shipping vessels.
- COVID24 has been introduced to correct previously mentioned balancing issues
- After review, many extinct large animals have been reintroduced since they disappeared to correct effects of balancing issues
Added sea mammals that are super territorial and attack human shipping vessels.
Orcas > humans!
Climate control bug has been fixed
I wish it was that easy…
