Patch Notes

Diplomacy/Factions

  • You can now build a throne room (from a throne), which will allow you to unlock the diplomacy menu (more diplomacy-related features will be added later)

  • You can send one of your workers on a reconnaissance mission to make contact with other factions.

  • Unlocked factions will regularly send merchants (more faction-related features will be added later).

  • Merchants will attack enemies within range, and vice versa... so protect them!

Trade

  • You can now build a trade room (from a trade counter), which will be needed to buy/sell items to merchants sent by factions.

  • Added a new item, Krown, which is the game's currency.

  • Every item in the game now has a price.

Food/Hunger

  • Basic rations now reduce hunger by 100.

  • Fungus, Curmara and Bacca reduce hunger a little more.

  • The game now starts with 14 rations, and characters start at 0 hunger (instead of 50).

  • The hunger bonus for crafted rations has been reduced (sum of ingredients *1.5 => sum of ingredients *1.1).

  • Added a “Full belly” buff if a worker reduces hunger to 0. This buff prevents hunger from rising for 4 hours.

  • Workers will now eat several times in a row to reduce hunger as much as possible, avoiding wasting food (e.g. they won't eat a ration that gives -100 hunger if they only have the hunger bar filled to 10).

  • The “hungry” and “thirsty” debuffs now arrive 1 hour after hunger or thirst are at max (instead of immediately).

Bugs

  • Fixed a bug related to goblin item theft.

  • Fixed a bug where, when loading a save, all workers assigned to rooms were set to “none” by default.

  • Fixed a bug related to the deletion of a stockpile.

  • Fixed a bug that caused workers to get stuck in walls and disappear from the map when loading a save.

  • Fixed a bug related to invisible enemies.

QOL

  • Stockpiles now have a darker color

  • To move workers in tactical mode, the shortcut is now CTRL + Right-click. The simple right-click is now reserved for cancelling selection or closing windows.

  • Sound added when a log is added.

  • It is no longer possible to place a torch on a square that is already lit.

???

  • Cyclops related event added...

Enjoy the game and have fun :)
