patch notes 0.5.8

Loopbound — v0.5.8

Automation

• Priority system reworked: numeric priority now overrides category order. You can make any fabrication or exploration action run before gathering actions by setting a higher priority.

• Default effective priorities: gathering actions start at 20, fabrication at 10, exploration at 0. You can override any action above or below these defaults.

• Existing saves are automatically migrated on first load. No manual action needed. Priorities may show higher numbers than before — this is intentional to preserve previous behavior. You can adjust them freely.

• Priority input now accepts direct number entry (max 50). Arrow buttons change ±1; hold Ctrl and click for ±10.

• AddedAutomation mode buttonleft-click cycles through available modes; right-click opens the selection menu.

• New buttons to set/unset all automations in a world/category.

UI

• Reset cycle has been rebuilt: now it resets to exactly the same situation you were when starting the cycle.

• New button: Reset World — resets to exactly the same situation you were when starting the current world.

• Export/import to/from file.

• Permanent XP is now gained in a 1/1 ratio with cycle XP, but the experience needed to next permanent level is multiplied by 10 also. This is a cosmetic change; it does not affect gameplay or balance.

• Actions added with the emergency for food mechanism are marked with a warning icon.

• Release notes tab in settings.

• Fixed several tutorial issues.

Core

• (Internal) Action time rounded to 0.1s.

• (Internal) Progress bar would show 100% after pausing the game at the moment (0.1s) an action completed.

• (Internal) If top-up inventory for food ends exactly at the same time the resource is eaten, it should keep gathering.

• Severely reduced export size.

Gray Zone (Maze)

• The Give Up button now performs a Reset World instead of ending the cycle.

Forest

• Vines and Sturdy Logs are available until the bridge is crossed.

Yellow

• Cannot leave the oasis without helping to tan hides.

• Water rations do not appear in the inventory until helping to tan hides.
