Issue\Bug Report


Current Issues that need to be resolved:

  • The world 'chucking' system needs to be improved, causes small lag when loading in new chucks.
  • Object pooling improvements - 
    • some object settings are not being reset properly
    • make it generic to allow for more pooled items instead of only ground tiles.
  • Resource pickup's need to deactivate when off screen to prevent them from falling off the map when the chuck in unloaded
    • Currently deactivating the physics on the item when it gets too far from the player and reactivating the physics when the player comes back in range. 
    • Sometimes items are missed when they come back in range and are stuck with physics deactivated
    • When teleporting, items fall off the map before deactivating.
  • Drill tool needs to be revamped
    • Better tool graphics and SFX
    • Improve the feel, currently It's hard to tell if it's doing anything
  • Laser beam tool needs to be revamped
