Hi everyone, friends!
This update refined the landscape editing, making it more intuitive and user-friendly. Animal husbandry has also been improved, there's now an animal statistics window, and shepherds work better. QoL improvements include buttons to close all gates in a settlement, an area clearing tool, and more tooltips and descriptions. Visually, new icons have been added for buildings, animals, and technologies. And of course, tons of bugs and issues have been fixed.
Thank you for following along and continuing to play! With each update, we take small steps forward, getting closer to the 1.0 release.
The settlement of frisbees
New:
- Visually improved sector selection when editing the landscape.
- The landscape editing sector can now be selected and its settings adjusted in a separate window, including priority and target elevation. This window also displays the reasons why editing is paused.

- Added a new area clearing tool.
- Added buttons to open and close all gates during an attack.
- Added new icons, including for animals, buildings, and technologies.
- All animals now display resources they drop and resources that can be harvested from them.
- Added more animal husbandry tooltips in the barn and poultry yard windows.
- Improved shepherd logic, they now perform their job better. Shepherds will now slaughter animals when the limit is exceeded with higher priority.
- Added a separate animal statistics window for the settlement.
- Improved tree growing: the tree-cutting tool no longer marks growing trees for felling, a separate action to destroy growing trees has been added instead.
- Unassigned animals now display a corresponding icon above them.
