Changelog

Added

• Horde Biome Decay
  • When hordes cross over from their initial biome, they will start to decay until eventually ending up at a density of 0. If they return to their initial biome, the decay stops.
  • This will prevent, for example, lots of harder biome hordes (i.e. wasteland) overrunning easier biomes (i.e. pine forest).
• improvedhordes flush command that will flush (reset) all hordes in the world and their respective populators.
• Rough implementation of hordes detecting players nearby on sight.
  • Expect this to be ironed out in future updates. You may encounter a few minor issues like hordes being able to detect you through walls when nearby.
• Some changes to player grouping for a future update to limit multiple nearby spawned horde entity counts.

Changed

• Multithreading system changes
  • Moved from a task-based approach to a traditional thread approach. Each core system runs on its own thread assigned with a prefix of IHThreaded-.
  • This means that the horde threading settings are no longer relevant and thus have been removed.
  • This is an attempt to fix micro-stuttering that is present during gameplay.
• Zone horde density tweaks to ensure that a zone cannot spawn hordes greater than the biome it is in allows.
• Wilderness horde sparsity was previously affected by biome difficulty. This is no longer the case for animal and screamer hordes, but for standard wandering hordes still applies.

Known issues

• Horde respawning of same type/number of entities inconsistent.
• Entities sometimes frozen in place when sleeping, or the game AI lags behind if there are too many entities spawned.
