Game Versions/Version 0.4.3



February 8, 2017

Official Announcement

Slime Rancher v0.4.3 is a small patch containing mostly fixes to offer a smoother experience.

Changes: Fixes:
 * Resources can now be vac'd out of autofeeders for those indecisive ranchers.
 * The game name for new games now supports any character (including spaces and special characters) and can be up to 24 characters long. (Note: The filename used to store the save now takes the form of {timestamp}_{gamenamelettersandnumbers} )
 * Changed the way the load game screen is populated. It should be slightly faster now when you have a very large number of saves, provided they are saved with the newest format.
 * Fixed bug where clicking back/cancel from emergency return warning popup did not allow you to navigate the pause menu with a controller.
 * Fixed bug where med station could sometimes overfill the health bar.
 * Fixed bug where the Invalid Format warning in the Load Game menu would show text exiting the boundaries of the Load Game window and the buttons would be sized inappropriately.
 * Fixed missing level geometry on ledge near honey gordo.
 * Fixed missing level geometry causing a gap in Moss Blanket.
 * Fixed bug sometimes allowing you to interact with the scene after starting emergency return and causing strange time loops (technical term).
