Offsprings of the first men, welcome back to another #FeatureFriday!
As mentioned last week, we've started another round of Steam Playtest with our Discord champions! Mainly all week has been passed with collecting new feedback, fixing bugs, adding new content, and polishing the whole game.
If you are eager to join the playtest, access the game before Early Access begins, and help us improve it, please consider joining TFM'S Discord.
Changelog
- Path perk cost overhaul. New item category: Need.
- New filter and localization entries for the new Need category.
- New trait category: Desire. Added Desire to the Relations panel. Increased experience thresholds for leveling up stats. Converted old settlement Quest traits to Desire.

- Your Smelters will automatically smelt ores in the Smelting Mound while it has progressed. (same as before, but with upkeep now, it slowly goes away, just like a bonfire)
- To refresh the Smelting Mound's progress, they will automatically get Charcoal from the Stockpile and bump it up to 100 when it's about to run out of fuel. For example: to make a character a (Crafter) Coppersmith, you need Copper Lodge, Charcoal Mound, and Smelting Mound simultaneously. He can then build the smithy and start pumping Items.
