InDev 31 Unstable 5 Change Log

• You now have 10 goals slot, that will unlock slowly as you play.
  
• Unlocking a goal will reward god experience, and completing unlocked goals will award perks, god experience and reduce global corruption levels.
  
• Goals you do not wish to complete can be reset, and the unlock counter for a new goal will start.
  
• You can beat the game now. Assuming you figure out how to reach day 10, on every single region in the entire game without losing any of them. >:)
  

• Corruption has been completely rewritten. Corruption spawn and spread rates are now based on the global world day, not the individual region's day.
  
• A new corruption threat bar has been added to the world map view, the higher the bar fills, the more dangerous the entire world is.
  
• A local corruption threat bar has been added to the region select screen on the world map, giving you a general idea how strong the corruption is on that specific region.

• Baseline spawn rates have been slightly increased, to help offset the corruption reduction when migrating and completing goals.
  
• Monster spawn levels and types are now based on the world day.

• Holy Golem's spawn level is now based on the world day, not regional day.

InDev 31 Unstable 4b and 4c *HOTFIX* Change Log

• Chests have random perks in them, like "Farelle's Constitution" offers a global 5% max hit points bonus to all your villagers, on all regions.

• Completely rewrote how save data is handled, allowing for rolled back up to 8 saves.
  
• This system is not used to correct game play mistakes, this is used to fix corrupted save files! Rolling back a perfectly working save is not advised and can cause other problems. The intent of this system is an emergency quick fix if your save data is completely ruined.
  
• To access the save rollback menu, hold left shift while viewing your region on the world map, or in the skirmish load menu.

InDev 31 Unstable 2 Change Log

• New Building: Courier Station. This new building will spawn courier golems that can be used to deliver resources to nearby regions. Upgrading the building will increase how many parking spots the station has, how many golems it can spawn, as well as reduce spawning costs.
  
• New Job: Courier supplier. These new workers will bring resources to the spawned courier golems that are parked in the courier stations, to eventually be delivered to nearby regions.
  
• You can send an unlimited amount of resources every day assuming you have enough golems, and the resource is set on the new courier panel on the left hand side of the screen. Setting the "Daily" value will cause the golems to try to send as many resources as you selected out every day, where as the "Send" value will try to send that many resources in addition to what you have daily sent at that day.
  
• Courier suppliers will supply parked golems in the courier stations with resources to deliver all day long, but courier golems can only leave the village during the midday.
  
• When a courier golem arrives at the connected region, they will drop off their resources and try to park at that region's courier station. If a courier station does not exist or there is no parking available, they will destroy themselves.
  
• Both organizers and labor golems can supply courier golems.
  

• Rebalanced the requirements for villagers to be able to migrate away from the village. Many more villagers should now be available.
  
• Migration way station migrations per day have been increased.
  

• Completely rewrote builder construction AI to be much more intelligent where it decides to pick up resources to deliver, as well as when to harvest.
  
• All new Patreons names added to the game.

• Added a new food type, melons, but it is currently not used on any official map.
  
• Decreased the chance guards will flee.
  
• Completely rewrote panic and flee mechanics to pick more intelligent coordinates. (AKA: They run to the village now)
  
• Farmers can now plant new seeds during the extreme heat in the summer.
  

• Fixed some minor collision map issues on the golem combobulators.
  
• Fixed map editor not saving maps on exit.
  
• Fixed some very minor size issues on the left panel GUI.
  
• Corrected some page buttons on the GUI from double-rendering.
  
• Fixed a few typos in the help system.
  
• Fixed a bug that would cause some of the AI to crash if a building or target resource was nearly out of bounds of the map.
  
• Fixed a typo on the kitchen description.
  

• The resources bar on the top of the GUI will be compressed down to only one row, and only display harvestable and low level refined materials by default. (Wood, rock, crystal, boards, stone and crylithium), but will have a "Customize" button that can be clicked to add/remove any resource you want.
  
• New, larger, tooltips will be added all over the GUI, allowing you to highlight over some of the more confusing areas and get a description of what the GUI is trying to explain to you. For example, if you moved your mouse over the "Maintain" text in the production panel, it will say something like "This is the total amount of resources you want to always keep on hand in the village, keep in mind this also counts resources that are currently equipped by your workers."
  
• The harvesting button on the bottom left will be compressed down into a single button you can click on, opening a context menu to select specific resource types, but will remember the last selection so you can single click to reselect a previous selection.
  
• The "Harvest Food" and "Harvest Water" will be broken up into two buttons.
  
• a "Harvest All" button will be added.
  
• The entire road system's GUI will be rewritten. More on that later! :)
  

InDev 31 Unstable 1 Change Log

• You can now send villagers from one village to another connecting village or new region via the new migration tab on the left panel.
  
• You now will only get "freebie" villagers and resources on your first region. After, you must send migrants to connecting regions to establish them.
  
• When starting a new connected regions you will get up to 15 migrants as soon as you place your camp. After, you will get anywhere between 5 and 10 a day until all incoming migrants have been completely exhausted. During this time you can still receive nomads as usual.
  
• New Building; The Migration Way Station. It enables access to the new migration tab so you can send villagers to nearby regions as well as increases your maximum amount you may send per day.
  
• When sending migrants to new regions, the villagers will become migrants in the morning, and actually leave at midday.
  
• The village will only send healthy, young and single adult villagers out of the village.
  
• The world map now allows you to start anywhere you want for your first region, but blocks expanding into other regions unless you send migrants there first.
  
• When visiting a new expanding region you get up to 15 migrants as soon as the camp is placed.
  

• The game can now be played in borderless full screen. Although on Mac and Linux, some versions may still display your task bars.
  
• When using traditional full screen (the old style), you can now change the game resolution.
  

• Reworked a large amount of the world map GUI to support the new data in migration system.

• Fixed render ordering of the map buttons so they are not under the buildings on the world map.
  
• Reworked the "You Lose/Abandon Region" GUI.
  

• When your population hits zero, you now "lose" the map and are ejected to the world map.
  
• Nomads and provisioners now arrive and leave on the edges of the map rather than random locations.
  
• Nomads and provisioners can no longer arrive in locations that can not reach the village, unless the village is completely blocked off.

InDev 31 Road Map

• Goals will be added to the world map for the player to accomplish. The goals will be all sorts of different things. Like "Maintain 3 villages with a population over 50", "Control an entire biome on the map", or "Have at least one village survive to day 80".
  
• For every goal you achieve, you will unlock a perk. These perks can be anything from +5% harvesting, increased birth rates, increased hit points, carry capacity, unlocking new buildings/upgrades, unlocking new spells, etc.
  
• Every goal achieved will lower the global corruption threat, allowing older villages to survive much longer than before.
  
• You have to maintain the goals, if a goal is lost you will lose the perk you gained and the corruption will become stronger.
  
• You will now only be able to visit your first region for free (Getting free villagers/resources when you place your camp). After, you will spread out from the region selected outwards using the villagers from your initial camp, and won't be allowed to visit those regions until enough villagers have been sent there to establish a new village. (See below)
  

• A new exploration building will be added, that will allow you to send villagers out into nearby connected regions. The more upgraded the building, the more you will be able to send each day.
  
• Villagers sent to nearby regions will be in a sort of "stasis" until the player decides to visit the region they were sent to. Once they visit that region, the villagers sent will pop up as soon as it is safe. (Dawn through Midday).
  
• You will be able to send villagers to a region regardless if it is or isn't occupied, allowing you to share villagers between established villagers, or start new ones.
  
• A new trade outpost building will also be added, this building will open up delivering resources to other villages by way of the Catjeet (Or possibly, a new mob type, time permitting). The Catjeet will act as "delivery men" and take resources from your village to the assigned region for a small fee.
  
• Same as the villagers mentioned above, Catjeet that leave the region will arrive at the delivery region next time you visit.
  

• Limbo will be completely removed from the game, replaced with the migration system mentioned above.
  
• Skirmish Mode's initial villager spawn in will now work like the World Map does, giving you villagers only after you place the camp, and spawning them directly on the camp with some free resources.
  
• Time permitting, an "abandon the region" mechanic will also be added, instantly sending the entire village out in all directions to any connecting region. How this will work is still to be determined.
  

• Borderless full screen will be added, currently works on all tested Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 machines. Linux and Mac work as well, but the task bar is still being displayed. Sadly, this may be an unavoidable issue. But I will try to work it out.
  
• Fixed resolutions will be added, so you can change the full screen resolution of the game to anything you want, rather than your set desktop resolution.
  
• The original full screen mode will still exist and can be toggled in the settings menu, for players who prefer non-borderless modes.
  
• The game will now use a hardware cursor!
  

InDev 30e Change Log

• The entire main menu has been reorganized, moving a majority of the buttons to the left side.
  
• Added transitional zooming to the game, now when you zoom in and out, there is a transition period that makes zooming feel smoother, as well as some sound effects if you zoom in and out quickly.
  
• Interface scaling settings can now be set in the settings menu, rather than having to edit settings.properties manually.
  
• The interface scaling settings now refuse to make the interface larger than what will fit in the window, preventing situations where the GUI may become unusable as a result.
  

• Updated song Sunken Hope.
  
• Added new song Be Water My Friend.
  

• Fixed a bug that still allowed players to cast spells on the edge of the map and into the void, that should have been prevented in InDev 30d.

• Walls, gates and fire pits are no longer completely invulnerable.
