Following up on the 1.0 Daimyo Update, this patch focuses on improving your experience across the board. It offers a noticeable performance boost, along with several smaller improvements – including ranged enemies, repairing items, renaming buildings, and more!
Performance
We optimized systems across the whole game, including farming, environmental audio, NPC animations, AI, net code, and others. Let us know if your gameplay is now smoother, and rest assured – this is not the end of our effort, and the tech team is already working on more optimizations for the next update.
Ranged AI attacks
Combat just got a bit more challenging! Enemies will now attack you with bows from a distance, and switch to melee weapons when engaged up close. This comes with a bunch of smaller combat fixes and adjustments (listed below).
Structures enumeration and renaming
All structures crucial to your production and dynasty management are now enumerated. Additionally, you can now give distinct names to each of your buildings by targeting the foundations. That should make navigating all houses, workplaces, and beds much easier, especially in the late game.
Knowledge tab
Helpful tutorial entries, tips, and warning explanations are now always accessible in the new “Knowledge” tab. Its contents will be expanded in future updates.
Autorun
Hit that NumLock key (or RS+LS on gamepad) and run, run, run!
Repairing tools and weapons
When durability runs out for your more advanced tools and weapons, they will now break instead of getting destroyed. You will be able to repair those broken items, using new repair stations – for a fraction of the cost of a new item.
