We're excited to release demo update 1.8.0 today! Here's everything that's changed since the previous demo version: Quality of life
Proper hotkeys We've added a full hotkeys menu to the settings. You can now assign custom keybindings to actions such as: - Camera controls - Road placement - Demolish structure - Inspect mode - Spawning units - Opening the port menu - Toggling different build tabs (Camp, Settlement, Village etc) - Selecting different buildings via keyboard
Inspect mode adjustments We're expanding Inspect Mode's functionality, while in inspect mode: - Hovering over a structure now shows its name and production output - Resource gain displays now show the actual amount you're earning per resource - Buying an upgrade now automatically purchases every level you can currently afford, in one go
Custom cursor We've added a custom cursor! (You can disable it anytime in the settings)
Building cost preview When placing a structure, a small tooltip now displays its cost above the building preview - turning red if you're missing the required resources.
Comfort visual indicator A small face icon now sits next to your island's average Comfort level, so you can tell at a glance whether your settlers are happy
Small Screen & UI Scaling The game should now renders significantly better on smaller screens.
Game scale changes The possible game scale now adjusts to the screen resolution in order to prevent content from not rendering correctly (also on 2560+ you can now scale the game up to 2x instead of 1.5x)
Challenge rewards Challenges now complete automatically, and rewards are granted instantly upon completion
Balance
Tweaked food costs for units to improve balance
Brain Eating Parasite Artifact Zombies will now stay permanently assigned to the structure they first choose to work on, rather than randomly switching buildings
Other
Various translation fixes and smaller bug fixes
