Summary

Publishing a new Island version removes it from all player’s favourites and recent.

We have an Island released. We are waiting to release it for a special event. Our problem is that upon publishing a new version of that island, it gets removed from all favourites and recently played lists. For what I could find, this behavior isn’t documented anywhere, so we cannot know if it is a bug or something we have to work along. The island is released -for now- as unlisted.

Additional Notes

For what we understand, it is expected from us to update our islands perpetually. However, this is very much harmful on that regard.
