Patch #15: Range Control for Camps & Services, Jump to next building Hotkey

Patch #15

Thank you for everyone's patience over the past two weeks! Last week we skipped releasing the patch and instead pushed all the changes into today's patch.

Our major addition this patch is related to work and service ranges. Now Fire Tenders and Luxury Suppliers have a service limit range. Not just a range: but a configurable range. The resource camps now also have this configurable range. In the future we intend to add range configuration to the earthworks and farm as well.

I've noticed some players requesting further ranges, and that is now possible! You can expand the ranges of mines, foragers, and loggers. Just watch out for the increased travel times! When you move your camps is of course up to you, but do not using the longer ranges if you find yourself forgetting to move camps closer to their work area.

Another feature new in this patch is the T hotkey, when a building is selected, can now iterate through all buildings of that type. This widget also now provides a count of how many such buildings exist on the map.
