Hello Miners,
This hotfix includes a large chunk of tweaks and bug fixes as well as a couple of popular community requests, one of which is an accessibility option that disables the new terminal UI animations for dwarves who are prone to motion sickness.
We have tweaked the Korlok Tyrant-Weed encounter to offer a more balanced and interesting challenge. The most important thing is the healing rate reduction that should help with many of the frustrations that players were encountering. We have also modified some of the timers for a better pacing and a more readable flow that encourages communication and cooperation. Good luck getting those shards!
