[h2]Update 1.2 sneak peek[/h2]
Let’s have a quick glance at the next free update from the post-release roadmap.

The big headline feature of this update is the Production/Consumption Trends window. It will include a 30-minute resource history graph and a 5-minute "latest" interactable graph with an option to select a point on it and check the log of resource operations.

We’re also working on Blightpost upgrades (with a new visual model), new working effect icons, a new supported language (Latin American Spanish), and unique art for each of our World Events. Here’s a sneak peek at one of them:



We aim to release the update in March and we’ll share more previews soon.

[h2]Patch 1.1.6 Changelog[/h2]
Lastly, here’s the full changelog for today’s Patch 1.1.6:

• Fixed a bug that would occasionally cause haulers and hauling carts to get stuck.
  
• Fixed a rare bug that caused some settlement saves to get corrupted.
  
• Fixed a bug where the numbers would sometimes disappear from the need icons in the species menu.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the Blood Flower spawn animation not to play when the game was paused.
  
• Fixed a bug that allowed a map to be played with both the Ominous Presence modifier and the Flooded Mines modifier.
  
• Settlements started before this hotfix will still have both effects active. The fix will only prevent this from happening in future games.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the entrance arrow to disappear the second time you clicked on a building.
  
• Fixed a bug where the progress of a standing level would sometimes not update correctly.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused some tooltips to scale incorrectly in the Thai version of the game.
  
• Fixed a bug that allowed production limits to be set as negative numbers.
  
• Fixed a bug where the camera would reset when the options menu was opened.
  
• Fixed a bug that made it possible to have both the Unyielding Corruption Forest Mystery and the Monastery of the Holy Flame modifier in the same game.
  
• Settlements started before this hotfix will still have both effects active. The fix will only prevent this from happening in future games.
  
• Fixed a bug where the camera would sometimes behave strangely when going into tree marker mode while a building was selected.
  
• Fixed a bug where a disabled recipe in the Blight Post would not cause the recipe slot to be greyed out.
  
• Buying an automaton upgrade in a deactivated Geyser Pump will now automatically activate the building.

Please make sure your game is updated to version 1.1.6.

May the storm be gentle on you,
Eremite Games

We just released a hotfix that deals with the issues you reported after yesterday's Update. We're grateful for your reports and thank you for your patience as we worked on resolving them!

Changelog:

• Fixed a bug with missing minus signs in several remaining places (some negative resolve effects like Foul Taste, and some hostility reduction effects like Decryption).
  
• Added information about the necessary upgrade level to order targets that require building upgrades (including Geyser Pump).
  
  • This is a temporary fix. In a future update, we will rewrite the objective text to be much clearer.
• Fixed a bug with double spaces before numbers in some descriptions.
  
• (Steam Deck) Fixed a bug where the Right Trigger would stop working when using the trackpad (when playing with the official controller layout).
  
• (Steam Deck) Fixed a bug where the controller pointer would disappear in the embarkation panel and citadel.
  
• Fixed a bug where order objectives related to discovering dangerous and forbidden glades would have old glade icons.

We wish you lots of fun and a fantastic day!

May the storm be gentle on you,

Against The Storm left early access late last year, but has just now received its first major post-release patch. Update 1.1 "isn’t as spectacular" as its developers had first hoped, but it does buff the roguelite citybuilder with som new art, UI improvements and quality-of-life tweaks, as well as new orders to make early stage settlement building "a little more interesting."

We just released Hotfix 1.1.2 which fixes some issues that occurred with Update 1.1. Thank you for your swift reports and we're sorry for the trouble!

Changelog:

• Fixed a font-loading issue which caused some languages and main menu button texts to not appear.
  
• Fixed an issue with a missing minus sign.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Enter key not committing changes on the Steam Deck's virtual keyboard.
  
• We temporarily reversed the recent changes to the default Steam Deck controller layout to avoid the cursor issues.

Known issues:

• We're aware of the issue that prevents Steam Deck players from starting a new settlement from the World Map. We're looking into this and we'll release a hotfix as soon as possible (possibly tomorrow). We apologize for the trouble and thank you for your patience as we work on resolving the issue.

May the storm be gentle on you,
