Timberborn News

[p]Hello, everyone![/p][p][/p][p]It's time for more tweaks, including the map changes originally planned for earlier this week.[/p][p][/p][h2]Maps[/h2][p]We are going through your feedback on the reworked Waterfalls map - thank you for sending that over! Today, we’re tweaking Craters and Lakes with the changes that we originally planned to deploy on Monday.[/p]

• [p]Craters: Increased the upper Badwater Sources' strength.[/p]
• [p]Craters: Raised Badtide Drains and added Thorns to make them more complex to block.[/p]
• [p]Craters: Made small fixes to terrain.[/p]
• [p]Lakes: Moved Ruins closer to the starting location.[/p]

[h2]Misc.[/h2]

• [p]Made slight performance improvements related to buildings' lighting.[/p]
• [p]Bot pilots' goggles now have the correct blue color.[/p]

[h2]Bug fixes[/h2]

• [p]Removed invisible wings that allowed some beavers to float in the air.[/p]
• [p]Beavers no longer teleport to the District Center as a failsafe mechanic.[/p]
• [p]Fixed the crash caused by removing a tree or other natural resource while it was reserved by a beaver.[/p]
• [p]Fixed the crash upon saving the game if a building was removed at the wrong time.[/p]

[p]We've just deployed a small hotfix.[/p]

• [p]Fixed a crash occurring when you delete a construction site or rubble while the beaver is going to them. Please don't make them angry like that. Let them do their job.[/p]

[p]Hello, everyone![/p][p][/p][p]Timberborn 1.0 is around the corner, so it's time for another batch of experimental tweaks![/p][p][/p][h2]Memory usage[/h2]

• [p]Reduced memory usage by over 1 GB on 256x256 maps.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a major memory leak that caused RAM usage to keep increasing when loading saved games multiple times in the same session.[/p]

[h2]Maps[/h2][p]\[We have removed the content of this section - as it turns out, the changes to Craters and Lakes described here didn't make it into this build.][/p][p][/p][h2]Modding corner[/h2]

• [p]Fixed BlueprintImporter recreating meta files for Blueprints after every DLLs import.[/p]

[h2]Bug fixes[/h2]

• [p]Lumberjacks are now slightly less eager. If the tree they were about to cut becomes unmarked for cutting, they will obey that order and give up.[/p]
• [p]Goods in the buildings’ inventories are now correctly included in their total per-district amount.[/p]

[p]Hello, everyone!
[/p][p]The release date news is out (March 5, remember?), but we are not done yet. Today’s update features a major revision to the Waterfalls map, the addition of a very useful key binding, and the usual batch of tweaks and fixes.
[/p][h2]Waterfalls Revisited[/h2][p][/p][p]Today, we’re happy to unveil the massive changes to the Waterfalls map - it has evolved so much that renaming it to Waterfalls 2.0 wouldn’t be overkill. Please share your feedback after you have had a chance to play on the new version.[/p]

• [p]Revised Waterfalls to make it more beginner-friendly, modern, and on par with other built-in maps.[/p]

[h2]Misc.[/h2]

• [p]Added the “Unique building action” key binding (default: U). Use it to activate the unique feature of the currently selected building - for example, to launch a Wonder.[/p]
• [p]Added yellow highlight to tool names on loading screen tips.[/p]
• [p]When renaming a beaver, a bot, or a district, the text field is now prepopulated with the old name.[/p]
• [p]Well-being notifications no longer have exclamation marks![/p]

[h2]Performance[/h2]

• [p]Slightly improved performance, reducing the number of micro stutters.[/p]

[h2]Modding corner[/h2]

• [p]Fixed the rendering of the hovered blocks in Blueprint Preview.[/p]

[h2]Bug fixes[/h2]

• [p]Water and building animations should now smoothly adjust when you change in-game speed.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a crash triggered by loading an older save with triggered dynamite in it.[/p]

We've known that Timberborn has been approaching the end of its early access journey for some time, but developer Mechanistry had yet to pin down a specific 1.0 launch date for its popular beaver-themed city builder. Now though, as the developer gnaws through the last few items on its to-do list, it has formally revealed when the game will depart early access, and it's happening in March...
