Description

We’ve temporarily disabled Sand Tunneling on the Island while we investigate an issue. We’ll let everyone know when this feature returns.

Creative:

Billboards that use channels to activate or hide text are not functioning properly.

DescriptionBillboards that use the “set text visible when receiving from” and “set text hidden when receiving from” settings are only working as intended for a moment.

If using a channel to activate text, the text will appear for a short time and then disappear.

If using a channel to hide text, the text will disappear for a short time and then continue to stay visible.

There’s also the introduction of the Pele Cup in today’s update!
