Thank you so much for your performance reports and bug submissions. We know that some of you have been experiencing performance issues, and we're happy to let our players know that the next two patches, 0.4.2 and 0.5, should address those issues.As a side effect of these changes, almost all harvestable resources will repopulate in the park. This will occur twice, once in 0.4.2 and once in the Summer Update. To help with this, starting in 0.4.2, any resource that repopulates through your floors can be harvested in a single Omni-Tool hit if you're standing on a floor or crafted structure.The fol
