Pushed release 771 to unstable!

We've pushed the last few changes to the unstable version of Alpha 23 before we take a break for the holidays. Thanks for all of the feedback here on Steam and on discourse.stonehearth.net!

Changes in this version:

  • Added thought bubbles that occasionally show up when a Hearthling sees an object they Like or Love
  • Sleeping, crafting, and eating now provide unique, additional thoughts based on the amount of appeal around the area
  • Changed how item quality rolls work:
    • Crafters gain the ability to make Fine quality items at level 3 (5% chance), and Excellent at level 5 (5% chance, and Fine chance becomes 10%).
    • The Inventiveness stat has been swapped out for Inspiration, which is based on Spirit (rather than Mind) and is a flat bonus applied to both Fine and Excellent quality rolls after any other math. (The idea with Inspiration coming from Spirit is that this is the first step towards caring about more than one stat per class!)
    • Crafting items with a lower level requirement boosts those base chances, by a lot in the case of a level 6 making a level 1 item.


  • Added iconic models for talismans and weapons

  • Increased ornate chest capacity

  • Fixed several UI and AI bugs

  • Fixed catalog service error on items with no entity_data (mod compatibility)

Happy Holidays!
