Hotfix 51A now live on the default branch
Hey folks! The hotfix that we tested has passed inspection and has been pushed to the main branch. It resolves almost all of the instabilities that we've been running into for Beta 51, but we're going to take a bit of a break for the rest of the evening and catch our breath.
As before, if you are having a crash on startup and have an AMD graphics card, please check to make sure your video card drivers are up to date!
FIXED: Make Copper Plates job
FIXED: Make Wooden Altar job
FIXED: memories and emotions hanging midair, predominantly for people with multi-monitor setups
FIXED: hitting esc to back out of a module recipe selection screen would leave the UI in a state of purgatory where literally anything you did next would crash the game.
FIXED: clicking on the trade depot crashes the game
FIXED (hopefully): phantom items occasionally left on the ground during stacking, building workshop transformation operations
FIXED: q and e are now bound hotkeys for camera moving left and right, rather than hardcoded
FIXED: Make chemistry workbench job
added "-opengldebug" command flag to return additional OpenGL debug information; please use this and send us the results if you are experiencing crashes on startup!
Thanks for all of your help, support and patience, we really appreciate it. If you still have issues other than those listed above, please tell us either here on Steam, on our forums at http://www.gaslampgames.com/ or by e-mail at contact 'at' gaslampgames dot com.
HOTFIX FOR BETA 51 NOW IN EXPERIMENTAL BRANCH FOR TESTING; AMD CARD DRIVER ISSUES
Welcome, new users! With a new influx of new users has come a stream of new, exciting, strange and bizarre problems. Thank you for participating in our first beta release and giving us useful feedback; we are working to address it as fast as we can.
If you are having a crash on startup, or after clicking the embark button on the embark screen, please check to make sure your video card drivers are up to date. This is a particular issue for AMD graphics cards, where older drivers will just flat out crash. Please download and install the latest Catalyst drivers immediately, and let us know if this does not fix the issue.
A test hotfix for Beta 51, entitled Beta 51A, is now available in the experimental branch on Steam. Once we have made sure it doesn't introduce new problems, and correctly fixes the problems it is supposed to address, we will be pushing it to the main branch on Steam. A list of things that this hotfix fixes is below:
FIXED: Make Copper Plates job
FIXED: Make Wooden Altar job
FIXED: memories and emotions hanging midair, predominantly for people with multi-monitor setups
FIXED: hitting esc to back out of a module recipe selection screen would leave the UI in a state of purgatory where literally anything you did next would crash the game.
FIXED: clicking on the trade depot crashes the game
FIXED (hopefully): phantom items occasionally left on the ground during stacking, building workshop transformation operations
FIXED: q and e are now bound hotkeys for camera moving left and right, rather than hardcoded
FIXED: Make chemistry workbench job
added "-opengldebug" command flag to return additional OpenGL debug information; please use this and send us the results if you are experiencing crashes on startup!
Thanks again for your feedback and patience while we move into the next stage of development! As always, if you have problems, please let us know and we will do our best to fix things in as timely a manner as possible. We can be reached either here on Steam, on our forums at http://www.gaslampgames.com/, or by e-mail at contact 'at' gaslampgames dot com.
Please send more coffee,

CLOCKWORK EMPIRES BETA: "Frontier Living in Interesting Times"
The Beta (aka Build 51) of Clockwork Empires, "Frontier Living in Interesting Times" is now available on Steam!
This is our first official Beta build! We have now essentially finished all of the back-end code required to complete the game, so we can switch to integrating mechanics, UI/UX improvement, optimization, and stability. And we can finally say that the completed game is a matter of mere months away!
MAJOR PLAYER-FACING CHANGES THIS MONTH
New Workshop order system: jobs are queued per work module (it’s super easy!)
New Event Arc system to chain interesting events together to produce Interesting Times
Colonists can now carry stacks of ingredients to workshop jobs that require lots of materials – much more efficient!
Tons of subtle UI usability improvements to make your life easier
Colonist Quality of Life system: good colonies produce happy, productive overseers
And here we see the changelog in it's natural habitat. Clearly it has not seen us, for its poisonous barbs are currently sheathed, but no swift movements please!
WORKSHOPS & OFFICES
all workshop code rewritten to queue jobs per module rather than per workshop
added carpet to recommended modules for carpentry workshop
added building upgrade ability: create the required modules per building, and upgrade your building
added ability to repair buildings
FIXED: colonists will no longer attempt to use services of offices w/o assigned overseer or w/ off-shift overseer
FIXED: pub wouldn’t serve booze
FIXED: can’t spam missions in Foreign Office by mashing button
EVENTS
added event director system
added The Fishy Idol event arc
added Foreign Invasion event arc
added Meteor Shower event arc
added Event Lighting system
made new alert code framework for events and non-event alerts
redid the entire tutorial from scratch using the Event Arc system, it should be MUCH more intuitive now
did event_director scripting for office points accrual event arc mechanics (required so that ie. a Laboratory can do work to advance study of an eldritch artifact to trigger different event states based on how much study is done)
made bandits far less likely to spawn directly in the middle of the player’s town
added bricabrac as a potential reward in a few events
replaced outdated/nonexistent Stone Charcoal Kiln in the smithing loadout with a mineshaft module
FIXED: scripterror in immigration event
FIXED: Planets Align event scripterror and re-enabled event

added “Quality: X” tooltip to all relevant modules now that module quality is a variable number
implemented the first pass on the bricbrac system: Bricabrac can be crafted in most workshops using different resources, and is used to make decor modules. Decor now contributes an amount of quality to buildings based on its bricabrac cost.
changed name of “Decent Cabinet” to “Practical Cabinet”
balance: removed building quality from all outdoor wall modules because it was exploitable and didn’t make a whole lot of sense
FIXED: game crash manually switching to module placement mode after creating a building
[B]ECONOMY[/B]
added ability to pause and unpause assignments via the assignment beacons
added ability for characters doing certain workshop jobs to pick up stacks of materials as opposed to dragging logs to their workshop one at a time (currently only Power Saw, Iron Charcoal Kiln)

FIXED: gameSimAssignment::CancelAssignmentInternal crash when assignment is already cancelled or invalid
FIXED: grapes couldn’t be made into stew

character info panel now has images for skills and skill levels
character health now represented in the character info panel as hearts because who doesn’t love hearts

FIXED: various other typos
[B]CHARACTERS[/B]

madness state combined with sadness and renamed “despair” (this makes madness more clearly linked to an emotional state, and makes sadness not boring); character state calculations simplified
refactored emotion names to separate emotion names “anger, fear”, from actual moods “angry, afraid” which was making writing things really awkward.
balance: middle class characters now start with one level of a random skill because it’s just more fun.
FIXED: corrected some typos in the new memory aggregator function
FIXED: characters spawning in the colony did not have the ? alerts above their heads
FIXED: “reverant” -> “reverent”
FIXED: raw cabbage will no longer be treated as a cooked meal when eaten
FIXED: several bugs with preaching
FIXED: people getting stuck trying to talk to fishpeople
FIXED: people will no longer pray at unbuilt wall shrines
FIXED: rare error when agent attempts to drop stuff
FIXED: added protections against scripterror in drop_item_for_trade_mission
FIXED: in certain rare cases people would attempt to intimidate a fishperson who died while they were running over to the fishperson. Now they don’t.

FIXED: starving colonists will no longer forage lacquer to eat
[B]COMBAT[/B]
military units will not immediately disband after the death of their NCO, but rather some other member of the crew will assume control.

There are yet more changes, which cannot be contained in this mortal form. Please review our full changelog on our website to know the full meaning of the Doom-Sigils, and their true and terrible power.
The development progress page has also been updated, with exhaustive notes on the status of the project, as well as even more details on the stuff we included above. Also, cute animal pictures.
Can you believe this is Alpha 50? In all fairness, the first public release of Clockwork Empires was Alpha 26 or something, but it's been a long time. SOON YOU WILL ALL KNOW THE UNSPEAKABLE HORROR... I mean, uh, have a good... weekend?
