Early Access Patch 8

Hope you're staying warm out there Pinies,

This is the final QoL-focused patch (forthcoming changes will be more focused on substantive changes to game mechanics and story). As before, these updates are all from community feedback -- thanks, as always, for taking the time to offer your thoughts!

(Spoiler Warning: patch notes may contain details of the game not yet experienced by players.)

QoL Improvements

• 2nd Renaissance digital journal entries are now easier to read

• "+1" icons gained from perks now appear as mouse-over text on nature locations

• The larger building cost reduction perk will now apply correctly (pertains to Elder Council and Technocratic Monarchy perks)

• Experience tooltips now display for unknown story notes with correct values

• Snail collection and Experience achievements are now rechecked at game launch (so that the associated achievements will now unlock)

• Layered pop-ups can now be closed properly

• Tooltips for UI in early game now display properly

• UI Scaling and Resolution options have been clarified

  • Widescreens will no longer default to a very large UI scale that requires adjustment in Settings

• Updates to game completion information

  • "DM a developer" text has changed to post in the game's Discord

  • Perks and Main Quest completion not longer count towards the total game completion (as these achievements are redundant with other accomplishments)

  • Government, Science, and Religion "Victory" pages now all work

"In the patches we are found, sayeth Quentin P. Brown."
