Mermaid Colony News

Update v1.10

The mermaids speed is now uncoupled from their faith. Before this update low faith would cause mermaids to slow down. Faith still plays an important role (abilty to regain health, power to cast spells).
I hope this change makes the game more enjoyable overall.

There are a number of reported bugs that I haven't been able to fix yet. If you see a bug report, encountered something similar and have more information, please let me know in the discussions.

Update v1.04

Context-sensitive tutorial: When starting a new game and not having other save files with more than 30 minutes playtime the game will keep track of the player. Based on the actions of the player there will be several new hints and suggestions of what and how to do.
Ability to prioritize items for hauling: You can right-click on items in the inventory to acticate or deactivate their priority status. For now the priority will not be safed when leaving the game to avoid breaking save files.
Map generation: Buildings are less likely to to be across a gorge when starting a game. The storehouse is guaranteed to be located in the center.
In case of the only toolmaker dying: If there is no knife left (impossible to hatch a new toolmaker), one knife will be gifted the colony (magically appear in a storehouse).
Unoccupied buildings are now marked yellow.
Bug-Fixes:
Crash when hauler fetching medicine from healer's hut.
Crash when forester trying to harvest kelp on an empty rock (after fleeing?)
Farmer and miner stop working.
Several obscure or hard to describe bugs.

Update v1.03

Freshly hatched mermaids occupy dwellings and workplaces themselves if available.
Changed construction and repair materials for several buildings.
Lowered overall monster and earthquake damage.
Raised growth speed of corals, mussels and plants.
Storage capacity of throne can be lowered to 1 gem.
Added more hints and suggestions that will pop up in certain cases. (For example: when running low on certain materials while not having yet any means of production)
