Revision 41E has now been posted to the experimental branch on Steam. Please give it a shot, and let us know if you encounter any issues or have useful feedback to offer. This build mainly focuses on bug fixes and quality of life improvements:
shift-clicking on a workshop +/- icon increments (decrements) the # of products being produced by 10
different edible crops now have different growth rates and yields. Try experimenting with them!
lower class worker cameos in Work Crew menu will highlight if doing job for the Work Crew's assignment & display current job in tooltip - weed out idlers!
farm growth rates have been completely overhauled. You will have to pay more attention to ramping up you farming as your colony grows, now.
balance: morale tweaks for less scarpering
balance: cooking food no longer gives you 2-for-1 output.
balance: foragable plants take longer to regrow.
maize can now be grown in the New Antipodia biome.
the Farming UI now shows descriptions of plants.
conversations and thoughts that are sufficiently important and not just idle gossip will be displayed, regardless of zoom levels
desires can now be fulfilled by having a memory of doing a thing.
crops now only grow/spoil during the day (because Samut bugged us about doing this again)
various typos and incorrect descriptions corrected
