Greetings, players! The newest patch (0.28.16) is now live on all platforms on the experimental branch. Please save your progress and restart your game client to update. You should be able to load normally and continue playing. If you have any problems, please let us know.
Quality of life improvements
Arrow for collapsing / expanding save folders has been added in the save/load menu.
Added an option to disable hover highlighting (like when you would hover over trees), to reduce seizures. You can control this via Options > Game > Hover Intensity.
Added options to choose a specific tree phase when using chop order. Yup. It’s finally here.
Updated Steam SDK - modders are now able to set which version their mod supports. Go to your mod and open Change Notes. There you’ll see the “Link to Game Version” option.
Bugs and fixes
Fixed the issue that prevented archers from attacking if they were positioned atop ladders.
Fixed the issue where settlers would not continue digging adjacent tiles after breaking a block.
Fixed the issue where attacking an aggressive animal during an event would make the settler run away instead of attacking.
Fixed the issue where settlers wouldn’t sow plants and trees after the first year.
Fixed the issue where settlers would not change clothes when they were supposed to, after the first year.
Fixed the issue where clicking on the enemy link in the Full Log would trigger connection error.
Fixed the issue where the scrollbar would not appear on the biography tab of the extra panel when selecting a settler with filled info.
Fixed several issues related to ladders and pathfinding.
Known issues:
The martial training event has a praying animation when settlers are attending the event.
Some event portrait images will be the sad cat graphics as they are placeholder and will be replaced.
If your settlers are experiencing weird animations with some actions, be sure to turn off V-sync and cap the game's FPS in the game's options. Cap it to 60fps. If the issue persists, cap it at 30.
Assigned Pets don't sleep with owners.
Some text keys are still not translated.
Player-triggered events don't have sound effects
Settlers will not refuel torches if there is no floor/ground beneath them.
Settlers will not choose the closest production building (if there are more of the same type), but the one that has a production set first in the global list of productions.
DISCLAIMERS:
⚠️ We decided to keep Dev version of the game on the experimental branch, and that means that a Dev log with red text will appear from time to time. This will help us get more info from your side when crashes and bug reports occur.
⚠️ Also, at the moment, the experimental and the main branch are different. You should not play saves from the experimental branch on the main one as it can cause various bugs - please avoid doing this.
As always, use F10 and/or the experimental bug subforum for reporting experimental issues. If you want more dynamic/direct communication - head over to our Discord server. Even though we might not reply, we are reading everything. Thank you!
