Patch notes for Update 0.800


A new save game is recommended, but old saves should still work.

Sorry this update took so long! The move over to Unity HDRP and overhaul of the room and water systems took much longer than anticipated. With those two out of the way the focus from now can be on polishing and improving the current systems as well as mid/end game content.

Fire


New fire system, items, plants, buildings, and some terrain types can go up in flames! Be careful with planning your base.
New bucket item for your colonists to put out fires. Haulers will automatically use them to take water from stills to the fire.
Improved avoidance of dangerous areas to come in the next patch, for now fires are pretty mild.

Combat


Ongoing improvements to combat pathing and behaviour.
AI squads should be much more capable at going home.
Unconscious creatures can no longer dodge or block.

Water system overhaul


Water has been completely overhauled, should flow much better now.
Pumps are more important now as water is more accurately modeled.
Proper implementation of salt water, oil, and smoke (no gameplay impact yet for oil and smoke).

Rooms overhaul


Room system has been overhauled. Temperature should no longer reset when blocks are changed.
Rooms can now be much larger than before.
New floor and wall types to decorate your rooms with.

Events


Many complaints that this event was not balanced at all. Greatly reduced the numbers of attackers, but they have new tricks up their sleeves (hint, it involves fire).
Changes to event/faction balance to reduce monster waves of orcs and too much randomness in wave size.

User Experience improvements


Improved interface to select things in game. You can now click directly on things instead of having to toggle through things on the same square.
Water overview mode should better highlight where water is.
Items can be claimed and forbidden by right clicking on them.

Research


Bookshelves can now store up to 3 books.
Research for basic technologys much cheaper.

Visuals


Upgrade to Unity 2021's high definition render pipeline. The main reason behind this was to improve torch performance. Now you can have lots of pretty torches without the game slowing to a crawl.
Visuals are improved as well, but some things still need work to take advantage of the new features.
New models for advanced furnace, gear making station, weaver workshop, and mechanical forge.
New terrain textures.
Added new option to control day and night brigtness.

Fixes:


Fixed harvest wool job not displaying animation and progress.
Fixed grave digging job not working.
Fixed event notifications breaking when leaving to main menu then starting or loading a new game.
Varous other small balance tweaks and fixes.



Update 0.760

  • Balance changes to speed up experience gain pace slightly.
  • Significant reduction in difficulty for the lower tier items and buildings. Combined with fixing the bug which was causing item quality to be calculated wrongly, should make building mechanisms and other difficult items and buildings much more manageable.
  • New models for advanced furnace, jewelry workshop, and lens crafting station. Note that due to the size of the advanced furnace changing, you will need to rebuild the advanced furnace in existing save games for it to work properly.


Bug Fixes



  • Fixed crash caused by research.
  • Fixed clearing camps not spawning research artifacts if "Zoom to Target" was clicked.


There will probably be one more patch to further tweak the 0.75 balance, but work has started on the next major update (0.8). The 0.75 update has been pretty rough with a lot of confusing (and initially buggy!) new mechanics. So sorry about that.

0.8 will focus on consolidating the current systems in the game. With the exception of a fire/smoke system.

Update 0.756
Sorry for the 1 week gap between fixes for the 0.75 update.


  • Fixed bug with builders trying to build completed buildings which use power.
  • Fixed bug with carpenters and woodcutters not getting experience.
  • Fixed gifting in relationship panel.
  • New mill and furnace models.

Update 0.755

  • Reverted a change from previous update which was meant to improve job priority but made things much worse instead ːsteamsadː. Very sorry about this.
  • Fixed bug with trade panel not showing up.
  • Fixed bug with priority for buildings which require item delivery (furnace, fireplaces, etc.) defaulting to zero. Unfortunately priority will need to be set for buildings which were already built (in the filter panel).
  • Fixed customize colonist panel not showing the correct skill levels.
  • Fixed load and save starting colonist panel and added a button for deleting saved presets.


Update 0.754

  • Fixed major bug with new research system. Should fix crashing and researchers not completing research sometimes.
  • Fixed crash when loading game with farms set to no crop types.
  • Fixed chest not set to correct construction job type.
  • Fixed fences set to wrong terrain type. Was causing crashes and colonists getting stuck in fences, please destroy your old fences and rebuild them.
  • Fixed bookshelf restocking job to break haulers when there are many bookshelves.


Thanks for all the uploaded save games! Your reports have been really invaluable in finding the bugs.


Update 0.753

  • Fixed colonist job progress cube indicator not being destroyed when new game is loaded.
  • Reduced effect of overheating from clothing.
  • Fixed performance issue with green highlighting of mechanisms and pipes.
  • Fixed bug with buildings losing "reserved" status when game is loaded.
  • Tweaked archers shooting from hold position stance.
  • Added job requirements to most order UI panels.

Update 0.752

  • Fixed failed crafting jobs not going away.
  • Fixed failed building construction jobs not being tried again.
  • Moved bandages to Weaver job instead of Crafter.
  • New research desk model.
