Hammerting

• “Maintain” craft order is now available (currently ignores explicit inputs)
  
• Holding CTRL or SHIFT to set craft amount will now first round to the nearest appropriate value.
  
• Added a “Talent Tree” to dwarves. Rather than leveling up DWARF attributes every level, dwarves now rather get one talent point every fifth level. Talent points can be used to acquire a particular bonus modifier “Talent” from a tree of such, with some Talents unlocking others, etc.
  

• DWARF attributes now automatically increase by one point randomly with each level up, with a greater chance to gain points in attributes which benefit their highest leveled professions
  
• Dwarves can now craft “Stone stairs”
  
• Added “Broodmother” enemy.
  
• Added “Broodlings” enemy.
  
• Added Spider lairs.

• Added 4-tiles rails and elevator rails, but they are currently not functioning properly.
  
• Added new bridges: Small Stone Bridge, Small Stone Walk Bridge, and Small Wooden Walk Bridge. The walk bridges only take up space in the walk layer, which means you can run elevator rails behind them.
  

• Added a safety-net that forces pathfinding to reevaluate for an entity after being idle for a while. This will get some dwarfs out of a stuck-in-idle state.
  
• Added an icon on the Overworld to indicate that a location has a mission that is in progress.
  

• Many improvements to elevator/rail pathfinding.
  
• Fixed an issue where some popup windows would disappear when using the mouse wheel.

• Castle War missions should no longer happen when the scales of war are approximately even (initial condition)
  

• Dwarf UI now closes when the dwarf is despawned.
  

• The game can now be continued after triggering a victory condition, such as winning the overworld war.
  
• There is now a gem cutting industry in six steps, by which gems can be refined from the raw, freshly mined state, to more advanced cuts. Three technologies added.
  
• Added a stone bridge.
  
• Scaffolds are now smaller and more versatile. Ore and other items flying through the air will now land on them, and dwarves can use them to jump and climb.
  
• Room layouts are now re-applied to the map after load, ensuring that they can be tweaked in a save-compatible manner.
  
• Added several new item filter categories for “Cooking Ingredients”, “Fluids”, Restless Bones, &c.
  
• Overworld missions previously requesting Copper Beams now request Any Beam instead.
  
• Overworld Crisis missions now present their fail timer in the mission outliner.

• Added another way to forcefully crash the game in the debug menu
  
• Buffed overworld mission reward for mission “A Windmill Ill”
  
• Equipping toolbelt items is now seen as an urgent action, ensuring that dwarves will do it as soon as possible.
  
• Drills now have audio. Drill particles now have slightly shorter life time.
  
• Updated game paths for Jackpot Mine and Sacred Well for better traversal of those rooms.
  
• Dwarves now have a 12 size inventory, rather than 10.
  
• Restless Bones are now a more common drop from Dreadstone and Tormented soil.
  
• Fixed several text issues, notably adding descriptions to Railway components.

• Dwarves will now claim (reserve) the item they are going to harvest/rummage, ensuring that two dwarves don’t try to use the same mushroom for different purposes.
  
• Various gamestate accesses are now more thread safe.
  
• It is no longer possible to set attack orders on dead enemies.
  
• Possible fix for the "existing->_replacable == true" crash (please let us know if you still get it).

• Dwarves can no longer waste attribute points by attempting to level beyond the maximum value.
  
• Fixed a bug that made tutorial pop ups visible although they were turned off.
  
• Recruits should now have all professions properly set.
  
• Disabled some debug-logs that were only supposed to be enabled in the experimental branch.
  
• Fixed a bug for the filter menu that wouldn’t let you select entries outside a specified space.

• Fixed dwarves sometimes getting stuck in a loop when climbing
  
• Lava and Skull Rat now have same animations as Fat Rat

• Fixed handling an entity losing its connection to the path graph.
  
• Rail station has more exits for better pathfinding.
  
• An old elevator model was removed, and model version bumped to ensure no invalid texture references.
  

• Fixed several performance issues in games with lots of generic orders (such as movement, attack, and equip).
  
• The number of movement orders created by enemies has been reduced a lot, and loading a save file from an older version will purge a lot of these orders that had already been created.
  
• Optimized the game-thread and gfx-thread synchronization and resolved some timing issues. The game simulation should see a noticeable speed boost from this.
