Upcoming Alpha 3 Features List
In a few days you'll be able to see all the features we have planned for the upcoming Alpha 3, the vast majority of which is the implementation of the middle section of the game! This includes more towns, politics, subterfuge, and faction reputations, and it's really too big to list here, so keep an eye out for the official list of features coming soon.
Upcoming Tools as Tech
This idea, obvious in retrospect, was suggested to me independently by two players. Rather than having to tediously equip tools they will be automatically "used" by everyone until they "break" after which you have to create a replacement or better tool. This mechanic is not in the game yet but it is slated for the next hotfix. I just thought you'd like to know that your boredom and annoyance with tool equipping will be relieved. :)
Saving Issues
It is my strict intention that virtually all save issues be completely resolved in this alpha cycle. We cannot well be adding a middle portion of the game without the ability to flawlessly load the fruits of your hours of play. You can help by posting any and all bug reports which may be indicators of saving problems. These issues will be resolved.
