Thank you for playing our demo and reporting the bugs you've encountered. Below is a list of fixes we've implemented.

--TAVERNS--

All Tavern fixes require a new save game.

  • Taverns now contain a "Lodgings" sublocation.

  • These have a high comfort modifier and always spawn a bed.

  • Coins are now properly transfered to Tavern keeper's inventory when paying for a room (And can be stolen back).

  • Fixed Bounty contracts not properly rewarding blueprints and mutation elixirs.

  • Fixed Pact Broker's bounty board appearing while trading with the Pact Broker.

  • Fixed a crash that could occur if the player talks to the Tavern Keeper outside of the Tavern.

--LIQUIDS AND DRINKING--

  • The player can now properly gather liquids from any liquid source.

  • Updated info message language to indicate that containers can't contain mismatched liquids (i.e. water and blood).

  • Improved thirst-related info message language clarity.

  • You can now drink liquids even when you're full (This is a temporary fix to allow emptying of liquid containers while item action selection is being worked on).

--COMFORT SYSTEM--

  • Comfort system has been implemented, affects what % of fatigue the player can restore while sleeping.

  • Comfort level is dynamically calculated based on various factors. Currently the most important factor is the location the player is currently in.

  • Comfort level breakdown can be seen by hovering over the fatigue button on the world hud or character info screen.

--OTHER--

  • World generation progress is now displayed.

  • Made tar leaf smoke a craftable item and buffed it's fatigue reduction to -4 (blueprint can discovered by finding oily resin or rough thread).

  • Smoked Mite Bites now reduce hunger by 24.

  • Fleshmite spitters now properly drop Fleshmite Spitter Glands.

  • Cooking on the Dryrock campfire is no longer considered a crime.

  • Blueprint icons changed to item icons to make it easier to distinguish blueprints.

  • Lockpicking should now work correctly.

  • Updated lockpicking action tooltip to display "Devices" skill requirement.

  • Added several missing item icons;.

  • Added info messages when items are being given/received through dialogue.

  • Added info message when player starts using a crafting/cooking station.

  • Fixed several Quest dialogue related crashes.

  • Fixed several mutation-related crashes.

  • Fixed a crash when stealing an item while inventory is full.

  • A number of other smaller bug fixes.

--KNOWN ISSUES--

We're aware of a number of known issues that we're looking into:

  • Reloading an auto-save that's been made before a manual save makes it impossible to load a manual save while in-game, going back to the main menu and loading a manual save from the character profile screen should resolve this issue.

  • The Tavern Keeper won't actually close the door to the room once 24 hours have passed after the player has bought access to lodgings.

  • The player can repeatedly buy access to lodgings, this will do nothing other than make the Tavern Keeper richer.
