[Important] This update is implemented only in the testing version (Alpha) of our game and will not be synchronized to stable release version (steam default one) until it is stable enough.
If you want to experience new contents in advance, you can manually switch the game to Alpha version as describe below.
Here are the major stat changes included in this update:
- All in-game stats are now recalculated and renewed to form a new stat structure.
- Readjusted early-game buffs for a brand new early-game experience.
- Readjusted yields and growth cycles of certain crops.
- Readjusted yields and slaughter gains of certain livestock.
- Readjusted distribution patterns and yields of wild resources. The changes will affect manual gathering, Forester's Huts, Hunters' Huts, and Gatherers' huts.
- Readjusted fillingness and Thristiness provided by food and drinks and health and happiness values.
- An almost-overhaul for recipes and efficiency of production and procession structures.
- Renewed buff sets for certain modifications, structures, mayors, and techs.
- Certain tech trees were redesigned. (Liveability included)
- Happiness and health values are now divided into three tiers; a new kind of buff is applied for each tier reached.
- Readjusted rates of dependency for different subjects to happiness and health tier evaluation.
