Gameplay
- Gameplay: Improved the taming/recruitment system for animals. There are now two types of animals:
1) Pasture animals (like cows & sheep) are kept on a pasture and yield items (like milk & wool). You can tame them by building a pasture as before. Pasture animals will stay on an island when you leave.
2) Domestic animals (like pigs) will act like colonists, i.e. carry things and perform simple jobs. To recruit a "wild domestic" animal, you select it and click on recruit. Domestic animals will come with you when you leave the island.
- Gameplay: High quality food and drinks can now saturate your colonists above 100%. That way, your colonists will have to pause less often. Modders: You can find this in ItemInfo→FoodValue.
- Gameplay: You can now upgrade existing buildings! Much more convenient than doing it manually. Currently it is available for the 3 houses, as well as Depot→HC-Depot. The building is unusable during the upgrade process. Will probably cause some new bugs, let me know if you encounter any. Modders: The upgraded building should have the same size (in tiles) as the base building, otherwise a variety of bugs can occur.
- Gameplay: Higher quality mountains and geodes now require tools to mine. Also applies to palm and cacao trees. Doing it by hand isn't going to cut it anymore. See what I did there? :) Maybe a bit counter-intuitively, you need high quality shovels to harvest mine or harvest trees, but not to till the soil.
- Gameplay: Higher tier buildings require higher tier hammers to construct (but not deconstruct). As a general rule, the current mid-tier things like zeppelins require wooden tools, most things involving automation require iron tools.
Content
- Content: Added the "No Water" terrain shape option.
- Content: Added the watch tower which is cheap to build and expands your vision range by a lot. Thanks to Screech for the model! :)
User interface
- UI: Added a filter function to the colonist management screen. Finally, you can more easily discriminate by gender or species. ;)
- UI: Buttons that are active now have a visible background and a highlighted frame, which makes them much easier to tell apart. And less green.
- UI: Text buttons you can click now get underlined when you hover over them.
- UI: The required tool levels have been added to the mining panel and the building tooltip.
- UI: Added a warning flag to buildings that cannot be built because no colonist has the appropriate hammer.
- UI: Added a warning flag to farms & groves that cannot be harvested because no colonist has the appropriate shovel.
- UI: You can now set the zoom mode to be instant in the settings (as opposed to the default smooth transition).
- UI: Default hotkeys for actions are now shown in the tooltips. Note that these only show the default hotkeys - if you rebind them, they are not updated. This is a (really dumb) restriction of the Unity input manager.
- UI: Added new hotkeys for a number of actions.
Miscellaneous
- Misc: Depot exits and entries no longer require ingredients and are now built instantly. Modders: You can get this behaviour via BuildingRecipeInfo→InstaBuild. This is only supported when the building requires no ingredients.
- Misc: The HC depot can now only be built by upgrading an existing depot. Modders: To get this behaviour, use BaseInfo→CannotBuildDirectly.
- Misc: You can now build stuff on desert oasis tiles.
- Visual: Depot cranes now rotate items into the proper orientation while moving. Which looks nice. :)
- Visual: Reduced the objects' smoothness/glossiness.
Modding
- Modding: You can now mod how the fences of stockpiles, farms, groves and pastures look. Have a look at ObjectType/fences/....
- Modding: The info.xsd files of the example mods should now be automatically updated with the latest version in each build.
- Modding: The default cargo loadout is no longer hard-coded. Instead, you can set how many items you start off with in ItemInfo→DefaultCargo.
Fixes
- Fixed: Colonists importing things into the corner of the map.
- Fixed: Autofarms/groves not animated correctly. I'm disabling the batching from a few patches ago as it causes many unexpected issues.
- Fixed: Fences not getting correctly removed when resizing/deleting a zone after previous patch.
- Fixed: (Probably) fixed a bug causing adjacent zones to get expanded
- Fixed: Mountains not properly animated when mined.
- Fixed: UI being too large on ultra wide resolutions when UI scale is set to >=100%.
- Fixed: Resuming a game should no longer trigger the job-auto-assignment.
- Fixed: Items in transit via the logistics system should no longer get stockpiled.
- Fixed: Forbid consumption and similar buttons not showing when selected.
- Fixed: Colonist management screen not working correctly on world map after filter addition.
- Fixed: Train wagons seemingly not moving after loading after one of the previous patches.
- Fixed: Changed the default hotkey for the road layer to H. (R conflicted with rotate)
- Fixed: Depots not picking up from entries after one of the previous patches.
- Fixed: Visual glitch preventing depot cranes from visually moving under certain circumstances. Modders: If you made custom depots/stations, please add BaseInfo→0 to depots, cranes, hooks and alike.
- Fixed: Veins being so big that you cannot build an inserter to unload a quarry.
- Fixed / Modding: Removed object types should no longer appear in the inventory targets.
- Fixed: Filter inserters no longer block items on belts that they don't want to have.
