[h3]Against the Storm – Quality of Life Update (1.7)[/h3][hr][/hr]Eremite Games is hard at work on new content, but in the meantime, they’ve released a quality-of-life update with community-inspired improvements and balance adjustments.

The new Town Statistics tab offers a breakdown of settlement data, including reputation sources, villager deaths, and resource usage. A Global Effects tab has been added to the warehouse UI, summarizing all settlement-wide bonuses such as production speed and movement buffs. Production buildings now feature a statistics tab displaying worker assignments, production speed, and double yield chances.


A new Global Effects tab has been added to the warehouse UI, providing a summary of settlement-wide bonuses. This includes modifiers like production speed, double production chance, movement speed, and season duration. It only displays global effects, so individual villager or building-specific bonuses remain separate.

Production buildings, camps, fishing huts, and mines now have their own statistics tab, showing a breakdown of assigned workers, their production speed, and double yield chances.
While these stats offer a clearer picture of resource flow, they also provide useful insight when fine-tuning efficiency—whether it's checking how much double-yield chance a worker has or seeing the broader impact of production bonuses.




The update includes several UI and UX changes to improve accessibility and usability. World map modifier tooltips now display whether you’ve completed the corresponding deed, making it easier to track progress. Specialization icons in the in-game encyclopedia now have tooltips, providing additional details.

New settings have also been added, including an option to disable screen dimming during autosaves, a zoom sensitivity setting, and an automatic pause when alt-tabbed.


Two of the most notable additions in this update are building mirroring and more irregular building footprints. While these might seem like small changes, they provide more flexibility in shaping settlements and creating visually distinct layouts. Against the Storm isn’t a game centered on customization or decor, but these features offer new ways to make towns feel more organic and unique.

Hotfix 1.7.6 (Ancient Seal panel)

[h3]Greetings, Viceroys![/h3]
We deployed a tiny hotfix to get rid of the remaining instances of the Ancient Seal panel issue that we described in the previous patch:
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1336490/view/509572974349648517

There are no other changes to report. Off we go to develop the next update!

May the storm be gentle on you,
Eremite Games

Hotfix 1.7.5 (Ancient Seal issue)

[h3]Greetings, Viceroys![/h3]It's another day of housekeeping, and we're dusting off another set of imperfections.

[h3]Ancient Seal panel issue[/h3]
Among those is a very rare bug where certain Ancient Seal objectives failed to generate properly if a trade-blocking effect was active, preventing the Seal panel from opening when selected.

We deployed a fix, but it only applies to new Ancient Seal games. Unfortunately, if you encountered this bug in version 1.7.4, today's hotfix will not unlock your stuck Seal panel. However, we can fix your save manually. To do so, please zip your entire game saves folder, which is located here:
%userprofile%\appdata\locallow\Eremite Games\

And send it to us:
and attach the files
We deeply apologize for this inconvenience :(

Apart from the above, we also took care of other reported issues.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]
  • Fixed a bug where the "+2 Packs of Building Materials" reward in the Zealous Scouts order was missing a name and description.
  • Fixed a bug where the "-2 Global Resolve" effect from the Cornerstone Forge was missing a name.
  • Fixed a bug where the sacrifice effects from the Ancient Hearth were incorrectly positioned in the perk HUD.
  • Fixed a bug where the order of camps in gathering node UIs was inconsistent across different camps.
  • Fixed a bug where the Boot Delivery Line perk was giving Coats instead.
  • Fixed a bug where Xiadani sold the Clothier blueprint for too little Amber.
  • Fixed a typo in the German version of the game.
The current game version is 1.7.5.

We're grateful for all your support and we wish you a fantastic time with the game. Also, have an amazing weekend!

May the storm be gentle on you,
Eremite Games
