This patch adds the following:
- The main focus: giving you the ability to customize your starting villagers and cultures. All attributes can be changed as you wish and there are a few new: Cultures now have specific hairstyles and beardstyles*, and there are a few new ones! (Now you can finally create that cave dwelling, stout long-bearded people as a proxy for dwarfs)
- One new song and a few remastered ones. (Maybe just one remastered, my notes where sloppy, sorry!)
This patch changes/fixes the following:
- Resources laying around will merge with nearby ones. I noticed several players mine and chop wood on massive industrial scales, creating heaps of resources just laying around and causing the game to slow down. This will greatly reduce the performance cost for those players.
- When creating a new world or re-rolling all cultures, there will be a better balance between different kinds.
- Characters with the perk 'Strong physique' will be one pixel taller.
- Young characters have less chance of being bald.
- Previously the game only made sure that the same song where not played twice in a row, this has been improved to at least 5 songs in between before a track can be played again.
- A few GUI improvement and a few bug fixes.
A huge thanks:
Many thanks for all the feedback, thoughts and kind words related to my "Price increase"-news! It felt great to read what you had to say and it really helped me make a choice: I will tell Steam that the new price is 10$. The change might take a day or two.
I think that as it for now, but as always: many thanks, sorry the bugs, your feedback and encouragement means the world to me! I stand very ready for a hotfix, should this patch cause anything unforseen.
Best wishes and lots of love!

*Cultures in worlds made before this patch will have hairstyles and beardstyles both set to 'Varied'. Also: you will not be able to edit cultures in an already existing world, since those cultures are already a part of it.
