Birb Update Adjusts Nest Unlock Progression And Improves Desktop Compatibility

The October update addresses progression hurdles across nest tiers, refines interface alignment, and enhances save recovery reliability.

What changed

• Evolution III now unlocks the Nest at Tier I while preserving existing Nest levels.
• Mining automation now continues uninterrupted while typing messages in chat.
• Save recovery now applies restored data without requiring a full browser reload.
• Steam Cloud transactions are moved off the interface thread to prevent stuttering.

Progression and World Fixes

• Nest unlocking is restructured so Evolution III unlocks Tier I access without resetting established progress.
• Addressed an issue where imported save data placed Birb across the river before bridge construction.
• Added a clear Mine unlock checklist at the entrance and Parrot Forge detailing remaining milestones.

Interface and Save Handling

• Adjusted tutorial indicators and panel scaling to maintain proper layout on compact displays.
• Reduced hotbar icon flickering when inventory item counts change during gameplay.
• Strengthened save conflict management to stop outdated session states from overwriting recovered files.

Performance and Platform Support

• Cached fishing catch notifications to reduce excessive graphic redraw operations.
• Offloaded Steam Cloud background operations from the primary interface thread to eliminate micro-stutters.
• Expanded Linux platform compatibility with improved Wayland rendering and PulseAudio integration.
