No more crashs but still freezing and some other bugs.

The game still freezes randomly and there are 2 othes 'bugs' that are just stupid.

First one is the Refinery bug: Whenever the humans build a Refinery in a spot and there is an oil terrain on the right side of it the produced oil will allways sink into the oil puddle preventing their collection. 

Second one: Resources being produced and falling in water, lava, oil, etc...  This one is so annoying because it just makes no sense. If the people are harvesting wood from a tree whats the point in the wood being launched in the air miles away and falling into the ocean?? The same applies on resources produced in the Smelter, the Refinery or any other production facility. The same applies to the sample power. If I am a god and I want to give a sample of whatever I like to the people its not logic that the sample resource is launched far away just to vanish in the water or lava. The game is difficult enough without wasted resources and this mechanic is frustrating and makes no sense at all.

Sugestion: The gathered and the produced resources should spawn right next to their original source and they should allways spawn on the land. The flying resources thing should only happen when they are generated by natural phenomena such as thunder, meteor, quake, otherwise they should just spawn next to the place they were collected or created (using the sample power).

Third one: The game starts lagging a lot when there are lots of resources on the ground and the lag doesn't stop even if they gather all the dropped resources. I suppose that shouldn't happen  since the graphics are so simple. Looking at the CPU usage using Process Explorer shows just 23% CPU usage from Simmiland.exe and the overall CPU usage in my computer is bellow 40% so there should be no lag at all.

thanks for the suggestion. the smelter and refinery should already place produced items next to them on a land tile. are you sure they get dropped from the smelter/refinery into the lava/oil?

Pretty sure, it happened two times on different games, the first was with the smelter and the second with the refinery. The resorce drops from them to the right direction (at least in my case) and there was a patch of terrain that destroy resources 2 tiles away from the refinery to the right. I wish I had screenshots to show. If I can make it happen again I'll post the image.

On the picture bellow you can see the moment the oven throws 2 itens to the water. The apple pie felt in water but I was not able to catch the exact moment. As for the bread, It was thrown direct to the water to the north. Plz, fix this.


I am also experiencing significant lag towards the end of games. Playing on Mac with the latest build. This makes the game relatively unplayable about halfway into the game. To date I have not been able to finish a game for this reason!
