Sorry for the delay - the big frame rate boost should really help with performance now. Plus, building and wall placement will be a lot more smooth and user friendly.
This update is currently just for the "Experimental" version. If you don't know how to get it, you need to right-click Kenshi in your Steam library, go to properties->betas and select "Experimental" from the drop down list there.
0.69.0
FEATURES
- Big frame rate boost!
- Totally revamped wall placement system
- Slightly better building placement in general. Easier to place furniture inside buildings.
- Toughness now affects degeneration rate, meaning that rookies are more likely to die than veterans when defeated.
- Difficulty settings added to the New Game and Import Game windows.
- -Added an "Amount of death" slider to the new game options to increase difficulty. Setting it higher than 1.0 makes ALL characters in the game more likely to die from their wounds (eg 2.0 means bloodloss + wounds degenerate 2x faster).
- -"Easy prospecting" option: resources are adjusted by biome only.
- -Multipliers for research, building and production speeds
- Some subtle tweeks to the combat AI to help characters deal with being outnumbered slightly better.
- Bandits can now catch you if you are running away and can't run fast enough.
- Strength improves slightly faster from encumbrance
- "Max blood" stat is now influenced by character's strength.
- Heavy club was a bit overpowered, so I turned it down.
- Added Splint Kits to the research list
- Forgot to mention in last update, gun turrets now have an advantage when placed at a higher altitude than their target. Put them on hills, on walls, and it will make them much more effective
- You can now upgrade or delete a whole chain of walls at once
- More audio sfx additions from Kole Hicks
