PLAY THE EPIC CRAFTING UPDATE TODAY IN EARLY ACCESS

Automation Update - Version 0.4.0.30

• Carts will now pick up and deliver items just like the dwarves will.
  
• Don't worry, they will still transport dwarves!
  
• Platforms are now gone from the game. Use carts instead.
  
• Platforms are now gone from the game. That's right, the rail and elevator network is now one and the same!
  

• The building previously known as Elevator Station is now known as Rail Station.
  
• The building previously known as Railway Station has been yeeted. (But will continue to work in your old saves) (And may come back in some form.)
  
• It can connect both to horizontal and vertical railways.
  
• Some say it can even connect to Inclined Railways. Extremely obscure reference warning: Or dress up as a stationmaster.
  

• Or is it just Incline Railway? Sloped Railway? The debate rages in the dev chat channels.
  
• This is for those of you who like to build your base diagonally!
  

• Dwarves will now automatically go to equip new items that are better than the ones they have in the toolbelt.
  
• This can be turned on and off. There's also an option to customize how you want it to work.
  
• By default, the autoupgrade logic will attempt to figure out ONE profession per tool that it thinks it should look for when upgrading.
  
• Unallowed professions are ignored, and Favorited professions are preferred.
  
• The logic refreshes when the player favorites or allows a profession, and when the dwarf gains a level.
  
  
  
  

• It is now possible to equip items directly from a dwarf's inventory.
  

• It is now possible to set a dwarf to automatically acquire Talents when they level up.
  
• Double click on any Talent to set it, and all of its requirements, to be auto-acquired.
  
• Improved Talent tooltip.
  

• Dwarves will go and drop off items they are carrying that aren't reserved for something else.

• New icon variant for dwarf entries in outliner.
  
• Outliner scrollbars are now hidden if the list is too small.
  
• Rumor has it that parts can even be completely hidden!
  

• A Production Capacity modifier has been added, allowing for location production on the Overworld to differ based on various effects.
  
• It's now possible to affect Faction Influence on the Overworld by paying a location with Trade Lore.

• With great automation comes great coin. Now you have somewhere to store it!
  
• The Small Vault has been added. It can store 10 gold.
  
• The Large Vault has been added. It can store 50000 gold. Yes, you read that right.
  
• Vaults are now the primary storage for your Mountainhoard.
  
• The Mountainhome can store a small amount as well.
  
• A Vaults Needed Alert is shown when your Mountainhoard is larger than how much can fit inside your vaults. Avoid this, or coin will be continuously wasted.
  
• Added an indicator by the Mountainhoard UI that's visible when you are over capacity.
  
• Dwarves will, for now, still go to the Mountainhome Chest to take gold, but it will be magically teleported from an existing vault.
  
• All coins are in fact magically teleported to and from vaults. In the far future, we may figure out how to make the dwarves carry gold to them.
  
• Vaults visually display roughly how full they are.
  

• A brand new Cave Mission has been added. Upon completing it, you trigger a Win Condition.
  
• To complete the mission, you need to construct a Large Vault, and then fill it to the brim!
  
• You can continue to play even after winning.
  
• If you manage to do this, let us know! It is not an easy task.
  

• Dwarves can now jump or drop vertically into a room. They don't need to enter from exactly level ground any more.
  
• Dwarves will no longer try to satiate their desires (Health, Morale, Energy) from things on the ground, like mushrooms.

• Dwarves have a preference to haul items that are already in their inventory.
  
• Haul jobs are now given an overall higher score.
  
• Item equipping and regular move orders are now HIGH_DESIRE actions, rather than PERSONAL_ORDER. This means they will do them slightly less urgently. Move orders for selected dwarves are still PERSONAL_ORDER (the highest priority).
  
• Jobs are now assigned once per second instead of ten times per second. This improves performance significantly.

• Added some Water to the Mountainhome chest.
  
• Fixed layout for Infirmary.
  
• Improved various textures and models for the Overworld Desert biome.

• The logbook entry for arriving at the cave no longer pauses the game, it simply shows a notification.
  

• Dwarven Maps can now be crafted again.
  
• Dwarves (and other creatures) can now stop moving while traversing down natural cave stairs, without teleporting to the end. This fixes a bug where a dwarf and an enemy were locked in a vinkelvolt!
  
• Dwarves and creatures spawning from lairs will not get stuck in a jump/drop loop.
  
• Dwarves are no longer able to run in unexplored areas on the Overworld.
  
• Dwarves will no longer "forget" to unreserve an item when they go from a mild desire to a high desire. This may have been the cause of some instances of not healing downed friends.
  
• Dwarves will now be able to haul things between two buildings that are connected by rails, even if there aren't any carts on the rails.
  
• Elevator rails should now be buildable downwards.
  
• Fixed a bug by which hauling to locations would stop on account of no inventory space.
  
• Fixed a bug that would cause dwarves to do the left-right-dance.
  
• Fixed an issue that would cause dwarves to only stash gold in the dwelling once, and then getting completely stuck.
  
• Fixed bug that would cause dwarves to think they couldn't haul an item they actually could haul, resulting in them changing jobs overly frequently. This also improves the performance of the game.
  
• Fixed bug that would cause the wrong Overworld tiles to be explored, thus potentially locking movement.
  
• Items should no longer be moved into containers with unmatching filters.
  
• Job broker no longer distributes jobs types into fixed buckets based on how many are working on them. This would frequently cause dwarves to abandon hauling. This feature may return in some form at some point.
  
• Maintain orders on hand pump now work as expected.
  
• Overworld mission hauling will now let dwarves haul all needed items if they are able to.
  
• Overworld missions should no longer be hauled to just one or two items at a time.
  
• Overworld missions should require the correct amount of items after load.
  
• Pathfinding is now updated properly when the last tile in a block is removed. This prevents dwarves from getting stuck, standing in the air.
  
• Recipes that produce the same output item regardless of input (Bone Ash, for example) now works properly with 'local maintain'.
  
• Regular move order utility scoring no longer reduced by legacy 0.5 multiplier. Also decreased the impact distance had on scoring.
  

• Added storage category to Mushroom Oil and Bones.

• Fixed various text issues.
  
• Items should now be in the correct langauge even after switching language.
  
• Notification option 'Notify, pause, and pan to' now works, meaning you can run the game at full speed and still pause at important events.
  
• Sell and Buy UI works more consistently under the hood. Sorting should now be possible in both tabs.
  

• Added a tiny sleep while waiting for game and media thread to sync up.
  
• Fixed an issue with Overworld debug names that will make logs easier to parse.
  
• Fixed inheritance issues with crafted bones.
  
• Locations no longer calculate any reserved item as 'in stock', only those claimed by itself.
  
• Missions to buy lumber should properly register when buying lumber in bulk.
  

• Performance decrease in late game. We have internal optimizations already and will continue to improve this for the next update.
  
• Two dwarves mining/digging on the same block may appear to make zero progress. We have a fix for this internally that will be in an upcoming update. Workaround: Select one of the dwarves and move them somewhere else, or ensure they do another job.
  
• The Large Vault graphics are work in progress.
  

Overworld Quality of Life Update - Version 0.3.1.14

Patch Notes

• Only a few missions have been added. More will come soon.
  
• The Faraway Lands Cave mission correctly hooks into the new Overworld missions.
  

• A new Trader profession has been added. Traders are wise types who work with great fervency to get the best deals.
  
• A more skilled Trader will yield better trade results.
  
• A tip is to just allow this profession for a handful of dwarves to keep the rest working diligently in the cave.
  

• Dwarves will now carry bought things from the Overworld to chests and storage, even without checking 'Take from Inventories' setting.
  
• Location types, for example the lumber mill, will yield the appropriate output based on what the biome feeds it.
  
• Locations that have a lot of items of a specific type will sell it at a discount. The amount of items will fluctuate a bit.
  
• Locations types will now be spread more evenly across the map. For example, it should be rare to find two markets next to each other.
  
• Locations will now have a wider distribution of items to buy. Yes, that includes lumber, for some location types.
  
• Many of the locations and hexes have been remade to be prettier and be more optimized.
  
• The biome a location is on will now determine what is available for a location to produce. You won't be finding that Vendar Lumber in the desert.
  
• The faction capitals now have a new cool model!
  
• The Hunter's Lodge has been added, providing hide, bone, and meat.
  
• Towns and capitals have a minor desire for drinks.
  

• Fluid sources now re-spawn fluids as intended.
  
• The fluid sources now need to be discovered before they can start re-spawn any fluid.

Overworld Update - Version 0.3.0.19

• The map, factions, locations, and roads, are procedurally generated every time you start a new game.
  

• Different locations want different items, based on the type of location.
  
• Locations occasionally have higher demand for some items, increasing how much they are willing to pay for it.
  
• Demand goes down if you buy a lot of that type of item, then slowly comes back over time.
  
• To sell to a location, a dwarf needs to take the items and walk to it on the Overworld. A tip is to ensure that your dwarves have plenty of carrying capacity, for example by dropping a tool they aren't using.
  
• When you buy from a location, it's put into its inventory for you to use. A dwarf needs to go and grab the items, just as if it was stored in a chest. A tip is to build a chest or two near your Entrance and set up its filters so that dwarves immediately bring home items you buy.
  
• By trading with a location, it gains Trade Levels. Whenever you gain a Trade Level, more area near the location is revealed to you. You also gain Trade Lore in this manner.
  

• Factions control different parts of the map.
  
• Factions have relationships with each other and with the dwarven Mountainhome.
  
• Relationships will change dynamically over the course of the game due to various factors.
  

• Dwarves could flip between a restoration job and other work. A gentle tweak to remove this behavior has been applied.
  
• Dwarves idling on an elevator will now try to go somewhere else to idle, freeing it up for the rest of the dwarves.
  
• Dwarves who need to drop some items to make room for some other item they wish to pick up from a container, can now put it in the container instead of dropping it on the ground.

• Added starting time randomization for ambience layers.
  
• Removed unnecessary variations of assets.

• Added a Pen tool in a few variants for the Arcanist profession.

• Removed a close button that would show up after selecting a save file in the load menu.

• The Overworld button closes the Overworld if open.
  
• The Overworld button has a different icon while the Overworld is open.
  
• The icons for digging and mining have been removed. You can still set the priority for orders, though it isn't very clear at the moment. You can inspect the Job List UI to see the different jobs and their priorities.

• This is now the default option for Maintain Amount.
  
• Global inventory now tracks reserved and unreserved items separately.
  
• Inventory Ledger UI lists both reserved and unreserved items.
  
• Mountainhome Maintain only tracks unreserved items.
  

• You can now drag a box to select multiple dwarves.
  
• When issuing a move order, the dwarves who arrive first will become Vigilant until all have arrived.
  
• While Vigilant, a dwarf will not do any work. They will engage in combat, and they will look after their most pressing needs.
  

• Colony and Mountain name are generated, and can be changed.
  
  
• Mountain name is now the seed for the game.

• Look at the detailed map tooltip to see which modifiers each Biome Region has.
  

• Handles destroying things after they've lived for a very long time.
  
• The pace of decay is currently very slow. It is more of a performance feature than something players will need to think about.
  
• Items on the ground will decay faster.
  
• Reserved items such as mission deliveries and toolbelt items do not decay.
  
• In case you're wondering where all your cool Dwarven Statues went with all that sweet Sovereignty... In the old system, they decayed and despawned. Oops!
  

• Changed dig reservation rules slightly so that digging downwards creates a sparse pattern similar to when digging upwards.
  
• Combatants will look a bit further for enemies in certain cases.
  
• Combatants will switch target if a better one is found, resulting in MORE VISCERAL COMBAT and LESS BENNY HILL.
  
• Combatants will use a more generous range when actually checking to see if they hit, resulting in fewer swing-and-a-miss.
  
• Creatures idling near other creatures will move away from them. This results in less doomstacks outside lairs, as the the enemies guarding it will be more spread out nearby.
  
• Dwarves will no longer look for refill items - mushrooms - in Unexplored areas of the map.
  
• Dwarves will now stick to any action they start doing for one second.

• Creatures who fall into a fluid will be slowed down, reducing falling damage to potentially zero. A fancy effect has been added!
  
• Creatures who fall will grab ahold of ledges, reducing their chances of falling to bad places.
  
• Creatures idling near other creatures will move away from them. This results in less doomstacks outside lairs, as the the enemies guarding it will be more spread out nearby.

• Correct cursor used for weird DPI scalings.
  
• Fixed crash when clicking alerts just as they disappeared.
  

• Starting a new game is required to get fluids, and definitely something we recommend. (You can still acquire water in the farm, so old save games will still work.)
  
  
• Two types of fluids: Water and Lava. Don't step in the lava, unless you're a Lava Slime or a Lava Rat, in which case it's all good.
  
  
• A Hand Pump building to help you pump up the fluids from the cave.
  
• A Drain Sink building to pour them back into the cave.
  
• Fluid sources that dole out fluids from time to time.
  
• Lava pouring onto Water will spawn Granite blocks.
  
• Small fluid puddles dries up after a while.
  
• Effects are now listed in the character screen. (There are currently only fluid based effects)

• They have different modifiers applied to them, so one might be extra wet, another may be dark, and so on.
  

• Dwarves can no longer be recruited willy-nilly. A certain level of Sovereignty is required.
  
• Sovereignty is currently gained from various Knowledges, and from exploring and finding Dwarf Guardian statues.
  
• The Mountainhome's current Sovereignty is shown in the top bar.
  
• New Cave Mission: Establishing Sovereignty
  
• Recruitment screen shows Sovereignty to make it clear why you can't recruit a dwarf.
  

• Jobs have three levels of priorities.
  
  
• You can now set these on construction orders on the map, using the new button in the action menu, or with the "." hotkey.
  
• You can also get an overview of all the current jobs in the second page of the Job Broker UI. From here you can set priorities and move the camera around to the different jobs.
  
• Game now shows the Job Priority of construction orders, if they differ from 'Normal'.

• Fixed save/load issue with enemy lairs.
  

• Fixed dwarves sometimes not using items from an inventory to refuel a building or heal another dwarf.
  
• Many creatures had a faulty climb animation, occasionally causing them to get stuck in the so called "vinkel volt".
  
• Attack orders are now removed when the target has zero health.
  
• Recipes now accepts any mushrooms.
  
• Dwarves can haul things from sacred well and other neutral buildings.
  
• Combatants will now prefer to attack over approaching an enemy, and prefer to approach a nearby enemy over moving to a marked attack target.
  
• Fixed haul jobs sometimes stopped working. A bug made haul jobs incorrectly think they already had enough items incoming, making them refuse new workers.
  

• Vulkan implementation now falls back to system RAM when out of GPU RAM, instead of crashing. GPU RAM will always be chosen if possible though. Fixes VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY on low-end systems.
  
• Fixed a rare crash that occurred when the game started.
  
• Fixed crash when clicking fast enough to spawn two popups. Could happen with the storages filter button, and items' right click menu.
  
• Fixed crash when pasting storage filter settings too quickly.
  
• Fixed infinite loop when spawning enemy waves.
  
• Fixed a crash that would happen after issuing a new construction order.

• Fixed a few crashes that could happen when a UI showed an entity that died.
  

• Dwarves can now steal hauling jobs from other dwarves if they are better suited, making hauling in general more efficient. Fewer dwarves will carry more stuff!
  
• It is now possible for dwarfs to refuel or extract items from inventories using the same positions as they use when delivering items for crafting or constructing buildings. I.e you no longer need to build floors under drills to refuel them or take their ore.
  
• It is now possible to set attack orders against lairs.
  
• More settings for storages.
  
  
  
  • You can now toggle if a storage accepts items from the ground or not, and if it accepts items from other buildings' inventories or not.
    
  • It is also possible to change the priority of the Hauling job generated for a storage room or chest.
    
  • Inventory filters now remember their layout for game entities (filter tree will be expanded in the same way as it was when last you saw it for that storage entity)
    
  • New Storage filters: Industry Produce, Support Beams, Charcoal, Ashes, Lime, Mortar, Killer Plant Berry & Root
    
    
    
    
  • Added settings for if the storage should accept items from the ground and/or other inventories.
    
  
  
• Options menu reworked
  
• Added support for input remapping
  
• Camera controls are now exposed in keybindings
  
• Professions list in the dwarf UI has several improvements.
  
  
  
  • You can now right click to toggle if a dwarf is allowed to do a certain profession.
    
  • You can left click to toggle a profession as a "Favorite". Favorite professions do not affect gameplay, but serves as a useful reminder, and is shown and used in other UIs, such as the Job Broker and the new Equip Item window.
    
  • Added a "base" production value column. The profession list is now sorted by this value.
    
  • Professions have a mouse-over effect to indicate they can be interacted with.
    
  • Mouse now works on the whole profession list in dwarf UI.
    
  • The blue bar now shows the dwarf's XP in that profession.
    
  
  
• Equip Item window has been reworked.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • The professions that the item affects gets a column each. The values shows the dwarf's profession in that value. It's sorted by Favorite, allowed, disallowed professions.
    
    
    
    
  • The toolbelt slot icons now show the level of the profession that the item in that toolbelt affects the most.
    
  • Icons have been added to quickly show if equipping an item would be an improvement. The comparison is done using the professions that the tool affects, factoring in the dwarf's levels, and hinges on whether or not the profession that the dwarf is best at would improve.
    
  
  
• Knowledge improvements:
  
  
  
  • UI more clearly indicates that it's scrollable.
    
  • Knowledge unlocks sorted in UI
    
  • Knowledge unlocks now indicate which type of unlock it is.
    
  • Knowledge Lore aligned.
    
  • New Knowledges: Lething Militia, Geological Surveys, Written Chronicle, Cargo Manifests.
    
  
  
• Enemy waves improvements.
  
  
  
  • They will now spawn from a better direction. This gives the player a better idea where the lair might be, and ensures that the wave will attack a more reasonable target.
    
  • Performance improvements.
    
  • Lairs will now spawn enemy waves even after saving and loading the game. Oops.
    
  • Lairs that haven't been found yet are less likely to spawn waves.
    
  • Lairs will become active from a longer distance.
    
  
  
• A new archetype system will allow us to more easily patch the game in a backwards compatible manner.
  
• Added support for Mountainhome Modifiers, affecting all dwarves. Formalized Education now unlocks a modifier "Educated Populace", which increases XP gain for all dwarves. The idea for future development is to add more of these Modifiers under new Knowledges.
  
• Maintain Amount can now be toggled to be the default way to start recipes.
  
• New damage calculations for armor.
  
• New talents: Thrifty Outlook, Forgemind, Goldsmith, Fearless Brawler, Militia Volunteer
  
  
  
  
• New underlying “Modifier 2.0” system improves the way we can give buffs, generate tooltips, and fixes some outstanding bugs such as all dwarves getting +200% movement speed. Item tooltips should also become a lot clearer from now on.
  
• Shroomfolk lair added.
  
  
  
  
• You can now rename buildings.
  
• You can now select the next/previous dwarf that has unspent talent points on the character screen by holding CTRL. Added hotkeys for this as well.
  

• Many tweaks to improve dwarf AI:
  
  
  
  • Distance matters a lot more for calculating which item is desired.
    
  • Desires are now less likely to become high-prio, but dwarves are in general more likely to fill their desires, compared to doing other things of the same priority.
    
  • Multiple dwarves can now satisfy their greed at the same time.
    
  • Each copper is now worth 10 points of greed instead of 5.
    
  • Healing downed dwarves is now a high priority job.
    
  • All pathfinding queries are now more frequently recalculated, which should lead to less dwarves becoming stuck
    
  • Many buildings which were missing gamepaths now have them added, such as Infirmary and Foundry
    
  • Cleaned up the "Carrying Capacity" tooltip with a proper presentation of its calculation, and added a base value of 50. Dorfs should now be able to carry more.
    
  • More haul slots are now given to each haul job, allowing dwarves to carry their full potential.
    
  
  
• Character screen improvements:

• Recruitment screen button added to top bar with F7 as the hotkey.
  
• Removed XP popups. Added icon to "Level up" text

• Desire sensor performance improvements
  
• Dig sensor now serializes its data to prevent extra job and workplace creations.
  
• Haul system now updates destinations and distances in parallel
  
• Huuuge performance boost when loading textures. This comes at the expense of increasing the game archive size, which has gone from ~1.5GB to ~3.5GB
  
• Refill sensor performance improvements
  
• Resurrected haul system's update-distance-cache for better performance
  

• Many fixes to improve dwarf AI:
  
  
  
  • "has_path_to" now correctly calculates if the dwarf in fact does has path to. (Could cause dwarves flipflopping between hauling and idling)
    
  • Dwarves now dequeue from vehicles if exiting too early. Fixes dwarves stuck on elevators.
    
  • Dwarves will not try to fill their desires with things in unexplored parts of the map.
    
  • Fixed an issue where dwarves would arrive at a elevator/railway station, but not understand that they had arrived
    
  • Fixed an issue where dwarves would go to work on the middle of an elevator/railway and get off the platform/minecart, even when they shouldn't
    
  • Fixed another issue causing dwarfs to get stuck twitching left and right.
    
  • Fixed bug causing dwarfs to be assigned to haul jobs and immediately failing them
    
  • Fixed haul-jobs for overworld missions frequently degrading to normal-priority. They should now always be considered high priority.
    
  • Increased desire sensor (internal) stickiness factor for fillers that dwarves are currently running towards. This should prevent some left-right dancing issues.
    
  • Many fixes to elevators and stations, and dwarves getting stuck.
    
  • Various fixes for Maintain Amount.
    
  
  
• Added missing Mithril icons

• Removed small hole in Entrance Cave that allowed you to see into the void.
  
• Settings are now refreshed when opening the options UI.
  
• Tools should now have a minimum of 1 in production values.

• Increased number of simultaneous available textures (fixes ASSERT( !"Not enough buckets" ))
  
• It is no longer possible to use illegal characters in save game names.
  
• It is no longer possible to build rails on top of each other. Removing such dupe-rails would cause a crash. Note that previous saves may still have such rails, and they will still crash if torn down.
  
• Navigation queries now respect invert-dir from records.
