This update has many core changes and quality of life updates!
Lets start with
Adventure Quests!
They are now live. Although not many as yet there are 2 very key ones that unlock Bio-Chemistry and allow you to get the chemist skill.
This alone will unlock a lot of content that is already released but was stuck behind this skill.
The Adventure Quest system has been updated. You now have to select actions in each location and based upon your skill the map will either update or not.
There are 3 Adventure Quests in this release. 2 Storyline only and 1 fixed to era 3-4. I will release more as we move forward.
Game Setting Options
The first of which has been much asked for - The ability to set all crafting to be be multi-run by default. (this will not affect research on world skills).
The second option is a game changer!
Ability to turn off the Auto Character Spawn!
Yes that is right. You can now set it so that when you would normally get a new character (on housing upgrades or character death), you now get an icon at the top of each settlement allowing you to spawn a new character where and when you wish.
This brings us neatly onto the next major change.
Homeless Characters
These have been totally changed. Once a character becomes homeless they no longer start to die. Instead they just hang around!
They are unable to work do research or quest.
They will defend the settlement but they fight at strength.
However this now does give you total control over house management when building houses and not wanting to spawn more characters.
And if that was not enough...
Character Movement between Settlement!
The old system has gone. Yay!
Now you can just pick up and drop a character onto any of the settlement pictures and they will relocate to that settlement, even if there are no available houses.
Each settlement now has a maximum population it can hold, it is up to you if they are all homeless or not!
