Latest News for Update 16
Blorf has been hard at work on the World Map, a major feature coming in Update 17. Since its full implementation will take more time, Update 16 is releasing soon with its completed content, while an early version of the World Map will be available on the Testing Branch for player feedback.
Meanwhile, Update 16 introduces new gameplay features, including flooding mechanics, difficulty modes, traditional turnip lanterns, smarter AI behaviors, and more. These additions have been ready for some time and will now be available rather than waiting for the full World Map release.
Once Update 16 is live, the focus shifts fully to Update 17, where the World Map will be completed and expanded based on player feedback.
The World Map system introduces expeditions, allowing Clanfolk to seek training, clear out threats, and engage with the world beyond their homestead. In this example, a poorly built Charcoal Kiln prompts the discovery of training opportunities but Outlaws suppress access. To proceed, the Chief must send an Expedition to deal with them. Expeditions take time, present different challenges, and can result in rewards or hardships before Clanfolk returns with new knowledge or resources.
A Charcoal Kiln can be seen in the bottom right, preparing to produce charcoal. This version operates at 50% efficiency, making it slow and poorly made, with possible loss in count or quality. It represents the kind of kiln built by someone with no experience in charcoal production.
Once the new charcoal is made, the Clanfolk will recognize their inefficiency and see the potential for improvement. This realization will lead them to seek outside training, opening the possibility for better techniques.
With that realization, the Idea for training appears on the map. Players can click on the Idea in the Announcement, access it through the Ideas Panel, or open the World Map to find a place to learn more about Charcoal Kilns.
Clicking the Announcement takes us to the World Map, but the Charcoal Training expedition can’t begin—it’s being suppressed by outlaws nearby. To access the training, the Clan will need to form an Expedition to clear them out first.
