Welcome to Closed Beta T4 v8
GOAL
Many bug fixes added. You may wish to restart again if you got far as some of these bugs would mess up your characters. However none are game breaking so I will leave it with you if you wish to test later game functionality.
STRETCH GOAL
As previous, Settlement 4 works. There is an encounter on Settlement 5 but due to lack of content I do not recommend this yet.
UPDATES
Features
· Back to work! After combat all Settlers go back to their work instead of the overflow slot.
· Boss Encounters Part 1: Doomclock encounter 'Razor' is in when you kill Sha-Kha. More Doomclock encounters will be added. A 2nd part of Boss Encounters will be to add random Boss Encounters during the game. All boss encounters drop unique items but are extremely difficult.
· Taunt! - New combat ability. As the name suggests - gives you a lot of agro!
Changes
· Added Machinery Slot to the Bakery
· Moved all building Research to the Research Chain
