Status Update: Version 1.420 Bug Fix

Thanks to Hurricane Isaac, our bug fix for the "rare mutation" mentioned on the 25th had to be delayed a little... We used the extra time to address some other issues that arise when back-crossing earlier Limited Edition plants with the new version, as well as add a new mutation and a couple of cool appearance features.

  • In addition to the new Blonde Lebanese strain mentioned in the earlier post here, we added three previous Limited Editions to the internal database that every seed carries. Version 1.420 females are now fully compatible with foliage from Giant Champion, RFL Pink Ribbon, and American Beauty papas, and those cool LE foliages are no inheritable!
     
  • Second, the "bug fix" seeds will feature a special "Dayglo Bright" mutation (25% chance) that sets foliage into full bright node.
     
  • Third, plants rotate randomly from zero to 180 degrees at germination to help break up the monotony of a row of identical plants.
      
  • And lastly, there's a 50:50 chance that the foliage texture will flip left to right at each growth interval, again to provide a little more visual interest to your gardens.

Hopefully, the post Isaac clean-up won't take too long, and the bug fix (tentatively labelled 1.420 K-9) should be in the store by week's end.

  1. For geekier growers, we've made some changes to the internal data structure in the seeds and program flow so to help pave the way for the upcoming version 2.10! (Some of us are still working on that, you know! ;)
