It's time for another update - and this is a good one!
This time we've adjusted and improved a lot of things based on player feedback - both in the Steam forums and on Discord - as well as adding some things that just didn't get ready in time for the Early Access release.
So, without further ado, here is the full changelog for this release!
- NEW: Folks overview from the Settlement overview window which lets you sort by happiness and work/home distance
- NEW: The happiness overview will now list reasons why folks are unhappy
- NEW: Folks will now give you more information about their happiness from the new "Happiness" tab in the villager info window
- CHANGED: All transporters are now handling all resource transportation around your settlement. Buildings that have a pickup area, as well as markets, trading posts and storage buildings can be staffed with workers to help stocking up those buildings - in addition to the global transporters - but they are no longer necessary for the buildings to be stocked up.
- CHANGED: you can now keep playing the tutorial settlement with regular progression even after the tutorial ends.
- Most in-game popup windows will now remember their position when you close them and re-open them
- Improved the way building warnings pop up
- Improved status colorization of fire and maintenance statistics overlays
- Residents list now shows the occupation of the residents so you can more easily identify residents and their jobs
- Fixed a bug that caused the statistics overlays to sometimes flash white
- Fixed a bug that prevented the happiness from being calculated properly
- Fixed a bug that allowed villagers to retrieve goods from markets even if the house was not in the market coverage area

- Fixed a bug that could cause production workers to sleep for a very long time while pretending to work
- Fixed a bug where workers in production buildings would not pick up resources from their pickup area
- Fixed two cases that could cause seemingly endless production in a building
- Fixed a bug that could cause endless population increase with a certain combination of residents in different levels
- Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented houses from picking up goods from nearby markets
- Fixed a bug that caused the traders to always take your stone as payment for quests
- Fixed several cases that caused inconsistencies in how buildings were being stocked up
- Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented the traders from finding an optimal route to and from the trading post
- Fixed a bug that caused resource deposits to not appear until your reloaded the save game
- Adjusted the importance weight for transporters when deciding which building to prioritize
- Reduced bread production requirement for villager houses by 50%
- Slightly adjusted the thresholds for warning about fire hazard and re-visiting buildings
- Slightly reduced the npc quest rate

- Reverted a change that was introduced in 0.6.7.3 that in several cases prevented buildings from properly stocking up
