Possibly? I just started a new world because I was pretty certain the mechanics for automatic kelp farms had been updated. I built an excessively large kelp farm that usually would have been able to keep 20 furnaces running, but couldn't seem to power one. (It was so ugly as I kept adding to it and still didn't seem to be improving my rates, and if it didn't work, I couldn't be bothered making it look nice or tear the entire thing down, it was taking way too much time when I literally only want to mend my one pickaxe. So if that's a possible performance issue? Would this mean needing to upgrade my Xbox?
Just had my thread closed for this issue.
