Another weekend almost gone. Hope everybody is having a happy Sunday (and for those far out, Monday)! Today I'm going to update everyone on what's going on.
News
With the new upcoming changes, brings a new mechanic and more quality of life changes.
What has been done so far in this upcoming update?
- Camera Zoom.
- Camera Speed. Shift + W,A,S,D will make the camera move faster.
- Dwarf Loot Animations.
- Dwarf Dig Mechanic.
- Delete placeables. It will show a confirmation if you want to delete the placeable or not. You can access the delete button in Floors & Areas window or click on the placeable you want to destroy. Deleting a placeable that has materials in it, those materials will be returned.
- Added a red X on the top right of placeable images allowing you to delete your placeable from Floors & Areas window.
- Entirely new Dwarven Book that is more user-friendly.
- Slightly optimized resetting floors.
New Dwarven Book Concept
The new concept of the Dwarven Book is to give the player more information on any material, perk or cost of a perk. This will give basic information and when you click on the material or perk, it will show even more information.
Dig Mechanic
Dwarves will play a dig animation and every 5 minutes a they will be able to obtain Water or Lava.
Destroy Placeables
Destroying placeables is a highly recommended feature and it's finally coming up! When destroying a furnace or any major placeable you will get the resources back that's still inside the placeable.
What Now?
There's still quite a lot more to do. Placeables Quality of Life needs to be worked on, being the biggest part of the update besides the new Dwarven Book.
What's Next?
Once this update is pushed, I'm going to be working on polishing Dwarf animations. At the moment their animations play a bit too often and a more dynamic method would make it so much better.

I hope to see you all soon! I wish I could give an ETA on this update but there's still a lot to do. My guess hopefully by the end of October or beginning of November.
