Stability update, v2.1.16

This v2.1.16 build is mainly to address the gameplay breaking regression bug on the machines. Bugfixes

Machines in level 3.2 and 4.1 were completely broken by the last update. Again. Fixed this. Again. Tjebbe was not pleased by the severity of this bug and the risk of regression, so he instructed Bertus to take measures to lower the risk on this in the future.

Gameplay changes

The hint button will now always target a dropped key, if any present. Its order is: first a dropped key (or machine part), second a gnome, and third a collectible. This way, if you are stuck the hint button will now reliably target the most important thing to do next. A note on the hint system by Bertus: "I have no clue where this blue beam of light is coming from, but it seems to be helpful so it should be OK."

Other

Added another unique gnome name, part of the community reward. This one is in level 4.1. I think this gnome has some artistic potential...
You couldn't select some locations on the map due to invisible UI elements being in front of it. Repositioned the camera and the UI elements to counter this. Tjebbe and Bertus are still not pleased with this whole map thing, they keep getting lost and find it difficult to use. They are planning on doing an interior redecoration of the captain cabin in the near future, to address this specific issue.
Stability issue: If you did reset a level that had a savestate, some systems didn't properly reset. The hint and drone/bird could end up in an unpredictable state. Rest assured: No birds were harmed in this.
Stability issue: If you clicked on a gnome just when it entered a hidingspot and started fading away, your bird/drone could end up in an unpredictable state. Again, rest assured: no birds were harmed in this, we asked Floris and he said that he 'in some cases experienced dizziness and a bit of nausea but it went away quickly'.

What Is Find the Gnome?

Find the Gnome 2 is a hidden object game with cute gnomes and a bit of action.

Move around the scene, try to spot the gnomes that try to hide out of sight. They can be everywhere, so watch carefully.
When a gnome starts running, chase it down with your drone. Make sure it doesn't hide again, by blocking the objects it is heading to.

Find the Gnome 2 comes with a full set of hand drawn comics, presented with a parallax camera. Immerse yourself in the Dutch mythology of gnomes and follow the inventor Tjebbe on his journey to save his home town.
Journey through the forest, over the farms and through the village to the city. And all while listening to a variety of chill soundtracks, matching to the environment and the current action.
Use the overhead map to keep track of your progress, replay levels, or watch the comics again.

And if you like the gameplay: continue after the story completion to find all collectables, run levels again with randomized locations, try to find and complete all achievements and/or do speedruns (tools included).

Features

There are 30+ achievements to get, with optional hints that unlock over time if you are less about the discovery but more about the completion (1 hint per 30 sec playtime).
