Thanks for playing the BETA!
As you may have noticed, there were a few bugs and problems that would occasionally come up during gameplay. With your feedback, I've been able to remove most of them as well as make some changes to improve the gameplay experience.
There are so many interacting systems in Kainga, it's hard to catch all the ways things can go wrong on my own. So your bug reports really do help!
Please report any bugs to the Discord channel where I'm most active and can see them quickly!
