TheEmbers Adrift team got into a fight with vegetation, and the vegetation won. So this month’s patch for the game is tiny. No, really; the team was working on delivering performance improvements for vegetation, and the occlusion culling was put in, and the gains were… well, nothing. It didn’t help. So for now, the feature remains disabled, and considering how much of the team’s time is spent working on tech for the upcoming Forgotten Depths III, this month’s patch is… it’s not much! It’s pretty scanty, folks.
That’s not to say it’s nothing. Tooltip comparison for tools shows your currently equipped tool now, characters can learn three professions at once without having to level them, and there are chances of non-standard Blighted spawns for Bulletin Boards. But on a whole? It’s a very slim patch. Hopefully those forgotten depths will all be worth it. For now, enjoy those professions, walk up to the nearest tree, and think about how its leaves defeated the development team. It’s sad, really.
