Alpha 24.10.4 Now on Steam Unstable

We’re currently in the process of improving stability and performance of Alpha 24, in preparation for a stable release. Thanks for all of your feedback and bug reports on the forums; keep it up! This build brings a few important bug fixes and some general improvements.

As usual, unstable is still unstable. Saves between unstable releases are not guaranteed to work, but saves between major Alpha releases will.

Building Changes

  • Added a color picker to the material list.
  • Added Rayya’s Children building templates for the new building system.
  • Added an option to add the building templates screenshots in a mod as preview images.
  • Added an outline when placing fixtures (furniture, decorations, windows, etc.).
  • Fixed snow appearing inside buildings.
  • Fixed color codes of building brushes to be all lowercase (mixing is not nice).
  • Fixed not being able to collapse the template dropdown on the mods screen.

Multiplayer Changes

  • Improved performance on games with multiple clients.
  • Fixed returning to the main menu after exiting a multiplayer game.
  • Fixed several AI errors that happened when a client disconnects.
  • Fixed a crash when canceling connecting to a server.

Other Changes

  • Optimized QB models for better loading performance.
  • Improved entling mage sound effects.
  • Fixed an error caused by mods having empty recipe categories.
  • Fixed several errors in NPC conversations and emotes.
  • Fixed hearthlings sometimes getting stuck idle after admiring a firepit or hearth.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause all restocking to stop.
  • Fixed an error when a target gets destroyed while a move order on them is being applied.

Have fun!
