Hi everyone!

Has anyone ordered a fresh batch of fixes?

Quality of Life & UI


  • District Crossing now has an extra UI element that lets you instantly see what is imported and what is not.
  • Updated the distribution UI once again.
  • Made some minor UI tweaks.
Audio
  • Most UI sounds are now mono.

  • Fixed an incorrect size of the Starting Location in the Map Editor.

Hello everyone!

Update 4 distinguishes the beaver factions in a big way, splitting their food chains entirely, but there are also other tweaks. These continue today with an update to the decoration roster.



Decorations

The faction identity can be seen even in the smallest creations!
  • New building: Hedge. This replaces the Log Fence and is a new Folktails-exclusive decoration.
  • Metal Fence received an updated model and is now Iron Teeth-exclusive.
  • Benches, Shrubs, and Wood Fences (previously: Plank Fences) now use different, faction-specific models.
Distribution

We're delighted with the response to the automated distribution, but we agree that we could explain it better.
  • Updated the Distribution tab with detailed tooltips and fancy colors.
Misc.
  • Added some missing flavor texts that definitely weren't supposed to be added over a year ago.
Bug fixes
  • Fixed the OP Control Towers that would boost bots even when turned off or after science points run out.
  • Fixed shafts that would sometimes jam and not rotate.
  • Fixed a crash caused by rubble moving out of the selected area when using a selection tool.
  • Fixed a crash caused by a beaver trying to crash on a bench that's just disappeared.

Hello everyone!

Here's the final experimental update for Update 4 this week... unless we've just broken something.

Visual




  • District Crossing received a new model that better communicates that it's two buildings in one.
  • Only the selected half of the District Crossing is now highlighted.
  • Fixed the algae and mushroom models in the Hydroponic Garden so that they no longer look like something a nuclear apocalypse brought to life.

Optimization

Every little beat helps.
  • Thanks to an update to how sounds and music are played, the game now utilizes less RAM.
Mods

Are you a mod creator? Do you remember all those times the animation didn't work and you had to add "_" to an object, so it wouldn't merge into one mesh with the rest of the model? Now you need to add "#" at the beginning!
  • Replaced "_" with "#" in the names of objects so that it's less likely to be used by accident.
Bug fixes
  • It is no longer possible to build a Mine that only partially covers the Underground Ruins.
  • When graphics is set to Low, Underground Ruins no longer lets you gaze into the void.
