Gnomoria now available for OSX and linux!
The latest stable build of Gnomoria is now available on both OSX and linux platforms. The current indev build of Gnomoria is well into mod support and still has a little ways to go before making it's way to the stable branch. Indev right now is Windows only but will be available

Gnomoria v0.9.17
General Added automatons Researched after prosthetic limbs Crafted at Engineer Shop Requires a golem core to craft. Golem cores have a chance of spawning when golems are killed Body part materials are determined by the materials of components used Can be repaired at an Engineer S
General

Added automatons

Researched after prosthetic limbs
Crafted at Engineer Shop
Requires a golem core to craft. Golem cores have a chance of spawning when golems are killed
Body part materials are determined by the materials of components used
Can be repaired at an Engineer Shop using armor plates
Die when core or fuel tank is destroyed in combat
Automatons dismantle on death. If the core is still intact it can be used to recraft the automaton with a penalty to skills
Can perform jobs and be on squads
Can't equip weapons or armor
Requires coal to run. Gnomes will add coal when empty otherwise automatons refuel themselves. They don't eat/drink/sleep
Reduced minimum stocks before golems spawn from 1000 to 500 (250 for bars)

Added straw to golem spawns (wheat golems)

Added manual population cap setting to population overview. A value of 0 has no cap (the default is no cap)

Some resources are consumed when creating a golem core. Dirt, clay and stone golems will generate metal slivers, similar to prospecting, if no golem core is created

Armor can't be worn over prosthetic limbs

Deconstructing a floor that was built as part of a Build Wall job causing the construction component to become unusable
Items that can be piled repeatedly being restocked when in piles of 1
Quivers and ammo pouches that aren't empty halting stockpiles

General

Stockpile UI is now resizable. Size and position are preserved across play sessions like other resizable windows
Added a restock threshold setting to each stockpile

Stockpile automatically suspends itself when full and unsuspends when there are the same or more number of spaces available as the threshold
Manually turning suspend on or off will override any automated behavior
Gnomes now use items that can be piled (dirt, stone, straw, etc) to pick up similar items while stocking

Added an option on the Smelter to automatically smelt worn items
Fixed

Visual artifacts with some sprites
This update has been crazy! If you haven't seen the indev board on the official forums, I ran into a ton of bugs getting dirt, etc to act like wheelbarrows. Some bugs might have been old but the majority were new, so I left them out of the changelist going from 0.9.14 to 0.9.15. This has been the longest patch in Gnomoria's history and took much longer than I or anyone could have guessed. I'll still be working on bugs along the way but it will be nice to start working on some other areas of the game again :)
Also, I wanna say thanks to everyone who's been testing out the changes on the indev branch. It's been a huge help, you guys are awesome!

General

Added silica - Obtained through prospecting in addition to slivers
Added ceramic tile - Crafted at a Kiln with clay, silica and coal
Changed Ceramic Wall recipe to use ceramic tile. The wall value is now 20 instead of 0.
Added game.ini to install directory

Has "savefolder" parameter to specify the directory for save games as well as settings.ini
If game.ini is missing or the savefolder parameter is empty/invalid it will default to the original directory (Documents/My Games/Gnomoria)
Some paths will require Gnomoria to be run as administrator to have write access
Stocked goods can be transferred from one stockpile to another

Added Transfer tab to stockpile UI
Each stockpile can "push" and "pull" goods to another stockpile. This still allows for many stockpiles to push to the same one
Stockpiles that push to another one are listed in the other stockpiles UI as well as their own.
Stockpiles are still worked in priority order. When stocking a given stockpile, gnomes will first attempt to pull goods from other stockpiles before stocking unstocked goods

General

Reduced mant aggro range to keep them focused on stealing food.

Increased the minimum food + drink before mants start spawning

Adjusted mant spawns so that lower food/drink stocks attract fewer mants than before while also higher stocks attract more mants than before

Added buckets and sacks. Used for hauling goods similar to wheelbarrows but for items that store in barrels and bags.

Changed grove and farm behavior so that higher priority groves/farms will be worked before lower priority. Previously they first went in job order (Harvest, etc) and then in priority order within the same job type.

Increased skill gains from Prospecting

Added lead slivers to prospecting stone

Chance of successful prospecting now increases with Prospecting skill

Added an additional property so that objects of the same material can have different sustain values

Increased sustain for doors and golems

Decreased sustain for leather armor

Fixed

Crash when a zombie rises while on a set trap

When stocking with wheelbarrows, items sometimes getting in an invalid state where they were simultaneously inside and not inside a crate.

General

Mant workers now prioritize stealing food and will leave if enough food has been stolen

Mants now spawn solely off food and drink stocks and are uneffected by Kingdom Worth

"Craft To" setting on Prospector now prospects down to that stock level as expected

Added "Smelt To" setting on Smelter which will continue to smelt items until the stock levels are at or below the setting value

Adjusted training grounds skill ups so that while sparring gnomes gain skill in their equipped weapons as well as the weapons used by their sparring partner. Spectators now also gain skill in their equipped weapon and not just that of the gnomes sparring

Fixed

Fixed unusable items left from deconstructing stairs and wall in previous saves. (Might cause longer load times the first load)

Initiating a tribute or insult and then backing out and selecting the other option has invalid items in the offer

Crash trying to dig stairs down at the bottom of the map over lava

Crash clicking on "En Route" from population or gnome UI window

Crash typing in a trade quantity when no trade item is selected

Crash when loading certain saves that caused it to stay on the load screen indefinitely
