New Biome
Welcome to the desert! Eat prickly pears and husband your wood; it's beautiful but bleak out there.
New Playable Kingdom
Rayya's Children is now available for play-testing!

Rayya's Children's basic systems are in place, but still need a lot of tuning, so write us with your feedback.
New Roof Editor
We've added more options to the roof editor. You can now make flat roofs, control the height of the walls below the roof, and the amount of roof overhang in each direction.
Bug Fixes
- Support undo when placing furniture and decorations in the building editor.
- Disable work orders for professions that don't support them. (New games only.)
- Enable mining for the Blacksmith and Mason.
- Fixed Work Orders showing incorrect tasks after promotion/demotion.
- Fixed collision regions for the Potter Kiln, Carpenter Toolbench, and Blacksmith Forge and fix cosmetics on iconic workbenches.
- Make Potter Wheel restockable.
Other Changes
- Crafting a fine item now grants an addition item instead of replacing the ordinary item. This makes satisfying trading demands more reliable until we allow traders to accept the fine versions of items.
Known Issues
- Extending the overhang on a roof with open spaces will extend the wall through the roof into the sky.
