changedServer ChangelogChange: Small axe skill gain will now function as other weapon skills do, instead of how tool skills do.

changedServer ChangelogChange: Planning bridges now properly check for dock floors and planning a bridge over/under them is blocked.

changedServer ChangelogChange: Issues with skill checks on docks and floors: Bugfix: Fixed an issue where planning a supported floor over a slope wasn't properly checking skill versus the height off the ground of the planned floor. Bugfix: Fixed skill checks for wall and floor plans using carpentry instead of the skill related to the type of wall/floor being built. Change: Building a floor directly on a support will now have a lower skill requirement than it usually would for building at that height. Some more info on this to clear up any confusion: Skill requirements for planning supports over slopes is the same requirement as if you were building a house that tall - total height being calculated from the lowest corner on the tile. Because building a support uses masonry or carpentry depending on the support material, and floors use paving or carpentry, this lets you build a support that you don't have the skill to build a floor on. Skill requirement for floors on supports will now be effectively the same as building a house half the height of the support. This skill mismatch scenario can still occur, but should be easier to overcome. Houses extending upwards from a support will still have skill requirements the same as building a house the full height to the ground (lowest corner on the tile). Change: Error messages for needing skill to build at a certain height will now tell you the skill required.

changedServer ChangelogChange: Goblin Camp Tweaks: Bugfix: Founding or expanding a village now requires at least one tile in between the planned village perimeter and any Goblin Camp. Bugfix: Goblin Camps will no longer spawn over tiles that already have Goblin Camp items that have not been looted. This prevents scenarios where a new Goblin Camp, along with its spikes and watchtowers and other items, would spawn over existing spikes, watchtowers, etc., leading to confusion. Change: Founding or expanding a village requires that none of the planned village tiles have Goblin Camp items on them which have not been looted. This prevents deeding over the remains of a Goblin Camp in order to claim the items. Change: Goblin Camp items that have not been looted now have significantly increased decay, to help clear the land faster after the camp is defeated.

fixedServer ChangelogBugfix: Fixed ctrl-dragging an empty bulk storage bin or food storage bin into your inventory being blocked even though the ‘take’ action would work.

fixedServer ChangelogBugfix: Fixed some cases of ctrl-dragging a non-empty item, allowing you to move it into your inventory when the ‘take’ action would block it, such as a filled pantry cupboard.
