New update. What's going on in inventory?

When I open my inventory I now see a bunch of red exclamation marks that fade after a few seconds. What are these? Are they "This item is new since you last opened your inventory"? Or are they "Your inventory is not saved and these things will be lost if you die now"?

    either way that's a really useful feature to add!

    They seem to be a "these are recently added to your inventory" notifications, they also appear for data entries when you scan new flora & fauna and acquire new blueprints.

    New things in your PDA, it works like that in fabricator too. I think it is useful.

    Yes - that seems to be an excellent 'nuance' to help keep us informed...

    I agree it's especially handy, and makes it a lot easier to read new PDA entries without having to hunt through the ever growing list and try to spot the newest one.

    The new item tag is handy. I'm having issues with the inventory in general though. Usually when I'm 'inside.' In my base, the inventory (and any container I open) appear 'greyed out.' They're still functional -- clicking works normally -- but it's all grey-washed.

    Then a few times now, while inside the Cyclops, my inventory windows have just went completely invisible. Can't see the UI, can't see the items. But they are still there. I clicked my mouse and accidentally ate a Peeper while this invisi-glitch was happening.

    Saving the game, exiting to menu and reloading fixes the invisi-glitch, until it happens again.

    I agree it's not a terribly bad idea. Bit alarming to have hordes of red exclamation points show up without warning though.

    Honestly, I'd like it to be an option that I can turn off. I find it both disconcerting and distracting, for no real actual benefit to me.

    Huh. I hadn't noticed it was in the PDA data entries as well.

    Now THERE, as an "unread item" marker, it sounds actually useful. In the inventory it's just a distraction, urgently telling you things you most likely already knew.

    "ZOMG!!! THERE ARE TWO LANTERN FRUITS IN YOUR INVENTORY!!!" Yes. I know. I just picked them. Now I'm about to eat them.

    I've reported this same bug in another thread here: http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/comment/2318745/#Comment_2318745

    What's really annoying is this bug has been reported by other people during the last experimental build and they still failed to fix it before pushing this new build to release.

    It's popping up every time something is added to your inventory, not just when the items are "new".

    It's becoming particularly annoying, IMO.
