Quality of Life Improvements
We've been hard at work on a batch of Quality of Life Improvements and the first results dropped today!
Closeable Wall and Roof Vents!
The Wooden versions of Wall and Roof Vents can now be closed. Let Heat in during the Spring/Summer and Cool in during the Fall/Winter or close them to keep Heat indoors when you don't need to vent Smoke!
Click to Close!
Rabid Animal Moments
The Rabid Animal Moments have been improved so that animals that become Rabid during the event are tracked alongside the others.
Trading
You can now click and Drag on the - and + signs on the Trading screen to quickly select multiple Items.
Finally... Thank the Gods!
Mining
The Mining Command Type field ("Down" or "In") has been replaced by a "Remove Ceiling" checkbox - it's automatically checked in the situations where "Down" was automatically chosen previously. In addition, a "Remove Ceil(ing) Below" checkbox shows up when appropriate - making it much easier to dig upwards.
Belongings
We disabled reordering of the Portraits while on the Belongings Screen. A great many players, us included, do this in batches, checking their Nobles from left to right - so this makes it much easier to keep track of who you've managed.
If you prefer the old behavior, you can switch back under Options -> Interface.
Job Time Limits
The availability of Time Limits have been separated from Autonomous Job Assignments. Use this to limit how much time your people spend Guarding, for example
Animals
The Animal List will now always list your Animals that are on the current map, regardless of whether they're onscreen or not.
Sale
To celebrate the arrival of the Dwarves, Noble Fates is on sale for 33% off through 7/27!
