Hello, everyone. The newest hotfix (0.16.7) is now live on all platforms. 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.
Bugs and Fixes
- Fixed several crash occurrences.
- Fixed the issue that prevented large lakes from appearing on hillside and mountain maps.
- Fixed the issue where settlers wouldn’t fish despite being ordered to do so.
- Fixed the issue that caused water overflowing in some cases, despite having obstacles that should have prevented such a scenario.
- Fixed the issue that prevented settlers from going to sleep, caused by them fainting next to an infirmary bed.
- Fixed the issue where the river's end was blocked by ground voxels and couldn’t flow out of the map. This also solves the issue where the water would cover the map and then simply vanish. Dev note: Fix will not work if you reload the existing save, so you’ll have to start the new game with seeds that had this issue.
- Fixed the issue that caused settlers to appear as stuck, despite having a clear way out. Digging to expand the existing body of water was a thing that caused this.
- Fixed the issue where mallards wouldn’t give meat when butchered.
Quality of life improvements
- Hillside maps are more balanced when it comes to terrain positioning.
- Water will provide much less penalty for traversal. This should prevent situations where a settler would take a much longer path to its destination, rather than getting their feet wet.
Known issues:
- Settlers will sometimes end up stuck. Try to save & load. If the issue persists, please F10 it and mention the stuck part.
- Settlers may sometimes lose bed assignments.
- Settlers may not obey the right click -> prioritize order. This is part of the same issue that is causing the beds to lose their assignments.
- Settlers can go up some waterfalls if a slope is generated under that waterfall.
- Waterfalls are missing proper sound effects.
- Humans and animals can't drown for some reason. Yay?
- Animals are lacking in animation when swimming (they’ll appear as walking on water).
- 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.
- 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.
DISCLAIMER: The experimental and the main branch have the same version of the game. However, on the experimental branch, we decided to keep Dev version of the game, 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. If you are annoyed by this, please switch to the main branch to experience the game without the red text.
