I’ll start as off with: Sound speed fix, sound now travels the same speed as light.

    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.

    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.

    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!

        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.

    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.

    • 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.

    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.

    Strange bug led to monkeys evolving well past other species and dominating before anyone else can get to late game, because of this we’ve increased the learning and beneficial evolution speeds across the board.

    Speed sound fix introduces some terrible new bugs where everything sounds really weird. Musical instruments need to be a million times bigger. Alas humans wouldn’t survive to experience these spectacular changes. Even the soft whistle of a flute would blast anything in its vicinity to smithereens.

    Updated the human immune system to function as intended. This will fix the following issues:

    1. There was a bug which allowed some microscopic entities to negatively impact the performance of human entities. This should no longer occur.

    2. Another bug that caused the immune system to improperly identify friendly or beneficial items as life threatening has been corrected.

    3. The immune system will no longer fail to recognize some cells that have corrupted genetic code. Should result in the elimination of the unintended cancer debuff that was introduced by the evolution process.

        Hotfix: ocular degeneration should no longer be inadvertently applied by immune system. Leaving environmental damage in for balance.

    • Existence fix: Implemented a streamlined mechanism allowing individuals to gracefully cease existence during their life cycle, eliminating the need for complex workarounds with forceful self-terminations.

    • Cop improvements: Implemented comprehensive updates to law enforcement algorithms, removing instances of impulsive or biased behavior, ensuring that officers adhere to the law they uphold. Additionally, the “suicide by cop” scenario is now obsolete due to the existence fix, rendering it unnecessary.

    • Economic System Enhancement: Implemented measures to rebalance wealth distribution by debuffing excessively wealthy individuals, promoting a more equitable economy. Prohibited money hacks to ensure fair play and integrity within the financial system. Disrupted exploits of the economy system to maintain a level playing field for all participants.

    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.
