Lots of Problems
1. Jerboas are constantly making noise regardless of the weather. They start chirping or growling for no reason for 2 minutes, then stop without any weather actually happening. When weather does happen, they don't warn me, or they tell me the wrong weather. Weather is also so frequent its awful. By the end of day 2, i have had 3 sandstorms and about 6 heatwaves.
2. The graphics are messed up. The water keeps flickering for no reason which is really annoying. In shadows, things keep glowing and flashing even though it is dark, and during the day, in some areas it becomes blinding and the contrast makes it hard to look at the game. It is also really blurry and foggy, unless i turn my global illumination down, which i don't really want to do.
3. I cant find silica pearls. so far I've looked at green ob and the northern canyons but i haven't found a single one yet. Where do i look?
Is anyone else having these issues, and are there any fixes?

pearls spawn down the entire central river system in small clusters. look for them at night to have an easier time. they have a bluish sparkle at night which makes them pretty easy to see.

the other things are bugs and should be fixed in a few patches

Best spot to find the pearls that I've seen so far is around the red OB terminal

water flickering for me too, on two computers with different GPUs (RTX 4080 and 4090) and different driver versions. I think it's flickering since the last update.

Silicia Perls: I found lots just around the red obelisk, just next to the platform. Check at night, you see them easily. Collecting is easiest with a whip. I found 300+ in no time.

Jerboas: they forecast weather, they don't tell current weather AFAIK. cannot confirm they are predicting wrong. But yes, weather is changing like every 5 minutes hence Jerboas going wild.

I downloaded the game loaded it and died 4 times without even taking a step I like the old game better

My babies keep vanishing when I hit E to claim and I've lost 8 Yuts and 3 Thylas not sure why that's happening still even on this map but then again I have 30 tumble weeds that somehow phased through my house and they take like 30 minutes to vanish. I'm glad I'm not the only one with the Jerboa issue because my sandstorms have been super heatwaves every single time which confuses me because I know all the Jerboa weather actions.
