[h2]DEVELOPER NOTES[/h2]
Two weeks ago, we unveiled the new roadmap and announced the next big feature coming to Against the Storm - the Cycle overhaul. While we’re still not ready to release it, you can already help us test an early iteration of this system on the Experimental Branch. In the meantime, we bring you a new update to the main branch – the Fishman Soothsayer Update – with a new glade event, numerous balance changes, and a whole host of highly requested UI improvements.

Let’s first talk about the new event. As the name of this update suggests, it’s the Fishman Soothsayer - a mysterious wandering fortune teller. He can only be found in Forbidden Glades, and offers a very unique reward for those brave enough to challenge him - the Airbender perk, which increases the Hostility threshold for all negative Forest Mysteries (so for example, Looming Darkness will now activate at Hostility 1 instead of 0). This is also the first time ever when we show a fishman NPC in the game (face reveal, yay!), and a step in the direction of making other fishmen events more interesting by adding more life to them (soon™).

Fishman Soothsayer Capture decision

Fishman Soothsayer Foretell decision

For this update, we also decided to take a closer look at some pending balance issues. The biggest changes are related to trading, packs of goods, and mining, with some minor adjustments in rainwater production, newcomer numbers, and citadel resource acquisition during settlement runs. Let’s first talk a bit more in detail about trading and the pack economy.

Packs of Goods are an unusual type of resource. They are required in a lot of orders and can be used for fueling trade routes, but aside from that, they’re not really produced to the same extent as other goods in a settlement (there is no real reason to stockpile them or to be excited about a high tier pack recipe in a drafted building). That’s why we decided to give the pack economy a little push and pivot it slightly into a more trading-focused direction.

From now on, packs will always be profitable to make (there won’t be any trade value loss even when making them on tier 0), and neighboring settlements will have a higher chance of buying packs through trade routes. Additionally, their value has been significantly increased across the board. This, combined with some smaller trading changes (a slight increase in the value of raw food, general price rebalancing, and smaller stack sizes in trader inventories) should make them more attractive to players trying to make a trading-focused build.

The other big balance change worth talking about in greater detail is related to mining. There has been quite a lot of feedback about how ore is spawned under trees or is too scattered to comfortably build a 3x3 mine on top of it. We finally decided to change that. Ore will now always be confined to a 3x3 square, and will never again appear underneath a tree. You might be asking - why was this even a thing in the first place? Well, when first designing the mining system in Against the Storm, our initial idea was to give players a small optimization problem to solve when placing a mine. But since then a lot has changed (for example ore deposits are no longer infinite), and this somewhat interesting puzzle turned into a tedious affair. It’s high time we changed that.

Lastly, before we move on to the more detailed changelog, let’s mention some of the UI improvements coming with this update. Most notably, we changed how resources are displayed in the Embark Panel (goods present in every caravan are now displayed on a tooltip), added specialization icons to the worker overlay, introduced a highlight to resource tooltips when a rebuilt ruin can produce something, cleaned up effect labels (in Cornerstones, perks, service building effects, etc.), improved the wording in some Orders related to trade routes, added a shortcut to the Consumption Control panel, and much, much more. We also fixed a lot of bugs, as is tradition with every bi-weekly update.

[h2]CHANGELOG[/h2]
Number of changes: 76
Inspired by community: 69%

Changes marked with ⚡ were inspired by the community.

[h3]New content and features[/h3]

• ⚡ Added a new forbidden glade event.
  • Fishman Soothsayer - An old wandering soothsayer, seething with magic. He does not speak, though you can hear his voice. His eyes are blank, yet you can feel his gaze. He is not afraid of death, he stands by its side.

[h3]Balance[/h3]

• ⚡ Changed the ore balance and how it’s spawned in glades.
  • Ore no longer appears under trees.
    
  • It’s now always contained in a 3x3 square.
    
  • Adjusted spawn rates in biomes with more than one type of ore (Marshlands). It should be a bit harder now to find both Coal and Copper in the same spot.
• ⚡ Changed how fertile soil is spawned in glades. It should no longer appear hidden under trees.
  
• ⚡ The Black Treasure Stag no longer gives Cornerstones with significant drawbacks.
  
• ⚡ Added Porridge to traders who sell/buy food items.
  
• ⚡ Rebalanced the Pack of Goods economy (Pack of Building Materials, Pack of Crops, Pack of Provisions, Pack of Trade Goods, and Pack of Luxury Goods).
  • All packs are now worth a lot more.
    
  • Increased the trade value return rate for all pack recipes. This means that even when making packs with a tier 0 recipe, the value of the created item will be higher than the sum of its ingredients.
    
  • Increased the number of packs bought by other settlements in trade routes. Every biome town now has 3 types of packs it’s willing to buy.
    
  • The Smoldering City now buys almost all types of packs (except Packs of Provisions, which are used to fuel trade routes).
    
  • Our goal with this change was to make packs a bit more interesting and profitable to play with, as right now they are mostly just crafted when an Order requires it. We wanted to move them a bit more into a space where they can be a viable option in trading-focused builds.
• Decreased the amount of food sold by all traders. They will still have the same types, but in smaller quantities (for example: 50 instead of 70).
  
• Slightly increased the value of raw food items (both when selling and buying).
  
• Slightly increased the difference between the sell and buy value of food in general (by around 10%).
  • Our goal with this (and the other food economy adjustments listed above) was to make it a bit harder to flat out buy food for an entire year or two when you’re not specialized in trading or exploring (as well as encourage a bit more exploration in search of nodes). At the same time, due to the changes to packs, this theoretical nerf should be offset by dipping even slightly into a more trading-focused type of gameplay.
• Slightly rebalanced the prices of multiple resources. The goal here was to normalize the trade value return rates (how much it costs to make an item vs. how much it can be sold for). In general, most items are crafted at a small loss on tier 0, and with no value gain on tier 1 (everything above is increasing the value).
  
• Rebalanced the burning rates of resources in the Hearth (as well as the Hearth’s fuel limit and the Firekeeper’s carrying capacity).
  • Wood now burns for 10 seconds instead of 15 seconds.
    
  • Oil now burns for 20 seconds instead of 30 seconds.
    
  • Coal and Sea Marrow now burn for 40 seconds instead of 60 seconds.
    
  • Firekeepers can now carry 10 items at once (instead of 5).
    
  • This change was done to slightly increase the upkeep cost of Hearths, as currently, it’s a bit too easy to have multiple in one settlement. Additionally, Firekeepers transporting more goods should decrease the likelihood of negative fuel rate effects triggering “no fuel” warnings (even if a Firekeeper decides to take a break in the meantime).
• Increased the production time for all rainwater types in rain collectors (from 15 to 20 seconds) and geyser pumps (from 10 to 15 seconds).
  
• Slightly decreased the maximum possible number of newcomers for each year.
  • For example, previously in year 3, you would get between 3 and 6 villagers. Now it’s 3 and 5.
• Removed Citadel Resources earnable during settlement runs (from perks or events).
  
• While finding Citadel Resources in chests in the middle of the forest can be pretty exciting, we decided to remove this type of reward because it was having a negative effect on the game’s flow as a whole (by encouraging artificially prolonged runs and causing confusion about resource acquisition after a victory).
  
• Reduced the number of workers in the Beanery from 4 to 3.
  
• Lowered the Hostility reduction in the Converted Altar of Decay effect from 25 to 20 per dead villager.
  

[h3]UX/UI improvements[/h3]

• ⚡ Goods in the Embark Panel are now divided into base goods (same for every caravan) and caravan-specific resources.
  
• ⚡ Added specialization icons to the worker overlay (ALT).
  
• ⚡ Resource tooltips now take rebuilt ruins into account when highlighting owned buildings.
  
• ⚡ Orders that require completing a high-value trade route now show the exact value on the HUD.
  
• ⚡ Added a highlight to need icons in the Species HUD when all members of a given species have the need fulfilled.
  
• ⚡ Added the option to move between buildings with the arrow keys when hovering over them (without the need to open the building UI).
  
• ⚡ Added a shortcut for opening the Consumption Control Panel (“I” by default).
  
• ⚡ Cleaned up the terminology in effect labels to clearly show what an effect is and where it came from (Cornerstones, regular perks, biome effects, working effects, event consequences, decoration effects, service building effects, etc.).
  
• ⚡ Changed the wording on Forest Mysteries that scale based on Hostility (to make it clearer what the exact value of the penalty will be).
  
• ⚡ Added tank capacity to the descriptions of rain collectors and geyser pumps.
  
• ⚡ Clearance sunbeams can now be disabled in the options menu (using the “lightning flashes” checkbox).
  
• ⚡ Added a new Encyclopedia entry about services. This entry will also be displayed as an alert during the tutorial (when building a Tavern for the first time).
  
• ⚡ The Drizzle auto pause will no longer stop Cornerstone choices from appearing (previously you had to unpause to get them).
  
• ⚡ Changed the wording of the Forsaken Gods Temple modifier to more clearly describe its effect.
  
• ⚡ Changed the description of the “discover Dangerous Glades in time” Order objective to also mention Forbidden Glades.
  
• ⚡ Changed the “Other Negative” icon’s color in the species panel (from blue to red).
  
• Added a “request a feature” button to the ESC menu. Clicking it will take you directly to our Feature Request Tool, where you can post and vote on other people’s suggestions.
  
• Changed the wording in multiple descriptions tied to fuel consumption effects (to make them more easily understandable).

[h3]Bug fixes[/h3]

• ⚡ Fixed a bug with Foxes not being drawn for Daily Expeditions.
  
• ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Like a Machine Deed not resetting progress between games.
  
• ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Woodpecker Technique Cornerstone incorrectly giving Insects for cutdown trees in Drizzle and Clearance.
  
• ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Destroyed Cage of the War Beast glade event showing an incorrect Impatience prompt.
  
• ⚡ Fixed a bug with an empty worker overlay being visible above traders found in glades when holding Alt.
  
• ⚡ Fixed a bug with some glade events having incorrect animations tied to the “burn down” decision.
  
• ⚡ Fixed an issue with Grain and Herbs being considered “food” by some effects (like food removal penalties, etc.).
  
• ⚡ Fixed an issue with the game sometimes freezing when quitting it.
  
• ⚡ Fixed a bug with the Basic Housing need status not updating right away when removing houses.
  
• ⚡ Fixed a bug with the recipe overlay (CTRL) sometimes not working correctly.
  
• ⚡ Fixed an out-of-place floating shoulder piece in multiple Fox animations.
  
• ⚡ Fixed a bug that caused incorrect value changes when using Shift and left-click on the arrow buttons.
  
• ⚡ Fixed an issue with the total game time statistic counting time too fast.
  
• ⚡ Fixed a bug with Dangerous and Forbidden Glade warnings covering up species’ passive effect markers.
  
• ⚡ Fixed a bug with pathfinding breaking sometimes when trying to build a road on terrain where an event exploded previously.
  
• ⚡ Fixed a bug with some villagers being so busy with their tasks to realize they want to leave the settlement due to low Resolve (they left many seconds after the red bar filled up around their species’ portrait).
  
• ⚡ Fixed a bug with the resource radial menu staying on the screen after a game has been won.
  
• ⚡ Fixed an issue with one of the Petrified Tree’s working effects lacking some information in the description.
  
• ⚡ Fixed a bug that made it impossible to locate the Archaeologist’s Office when using arrow keys while hovering over the building card.
  
• ⚡ Fixed an issue with the Robbed Dead working effect having an incorrect frame color.
  
• ⚡ Fixed multiple typos and inconsistencies in the Simplified Chinese localization of the game (encyclopedia, trader dialogue, Forest Mysteries, order names, objectives, perks, ghost dialogue, and event decisions).
  
• ⚡ Fixed multiple typos in the Russian localization of the game (Filling Dish, Beanery and Brewery, Corruption).
  
• ⚡ Fixed some incorrect tags in decoration descriptions in the Korean localization of the game.

[h3]Greetings, Viceroys![/h3]
Thank you for all the feedback regarding the ongoing World Map Overhaul experimental. If you haven’t checked it yet, here’s the original Update news:
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1336490/view/3726210660308443444
With today's new update, we want to test the changes that address the most prevailing areas of feedback from the previous Experimental Update, while still exploring the concept of Seals and the overall structure of Cycles.
[hr][/hr]
[h2]Changelog:[/h2]

• ⚡ Cycles are once again counted in years instead of games.
  
• ⚡ Embarkation Points are now split into two pools, base and reserve. Base points regenerate after each game and can be spent only on a particular run (basically they work like the Embarkation Points on the main branch), while additional points collected via activities on the World Map are added to the Cycle-lasting reserve.
  
• ⚡ The Cycle can be finished at any point now, be it to play the Sealed Biome early or to start fresh. To finish the Cycle, click on the End Cycle icon in the bottom right corner.
  
• ⚡ Fixed a bug that made Daily Expeditions unplayable on the Experimental Branch.

[hr][/hr]
[h2]The future[/h2]
For the next iteration, we want to explore the possibility of World Map events - encounters you can stumble upon while exploring the world map, as well as a new system of improving your Caravan throughout the Cycle, by completing activities on the World Map.
[hr][/hr]
[h2]How to test it?[/h2]
To play with the new features, you need to switch to the Experimental Branch (click here to learn how to switch to the Experimental Branch).

You can either start from the very beginning or simulate progress with those 3 commands:

• meta.addEarly
  
• meta.addMiddle
  
• meta.addLate

[hr][/hr]
[h2]What are we interested in?[/h2]
If you decide to play the Experimental Update, please share your thoughts with us!

Primarily, we are interested in your answers to the following questions:

• Do you think this update makes changes for the better or for the worse compared to the previous version?
  
• Have you found the journey toward the Seals compelling?
  
• Are the Seals a clear enough goal for you?
  
• Did you feel there were interesting decisions to make on the World Map?
  
• Is there anything about these new mechanics that makes the gameplay feel worse (especially more repetitive) or better (especially more diverse)?

We can’t wait to hear your impressions once you give the new Experimental Update a try!

May the storm be gentle on you,
Eremite Games

The current Experimental Branch version is 0.51.010E.

[h3]Greetings, Viceroys![/h3]
We invite you to join us later today at 3:00 pm UTC on our Twitch channel for a preview of tomorrow’s Fishman Soothsayer Update which will introduce a new glade event and multiple balance changes.

FOLLOW US ON TWITCH

We will also dedicate a large portion of the stream to the current Experimental Update in which we’re overhauling the World Map Cycle. In a few hours, we also plan to release a new patch for the Experimental Branch with significant changes to the system, so if you’re following the experimental changes, keep your eyes open for the announcement.

We hope to see you later today and as always we remind you to prepare for the upcoming update by finishing your current settlements. If this is your first Against the Storm update, please check out a short update guide below

May the storm be gentle on you,
Eremite Games
[hr][/hr]
[h2]HOW TO PREPARE[/h2]
We release new content Updates every two weeks on Thursdays around 1 pm – 3 pm UTC. As we make multiple changes to the game’s systems, balance, and content, the game needs to force-finish any settlements that are in progress when you download the update. This aims to prevent various game-breaking bugs that could occur otherwise.

IMPORTANT: If you have a settlement in progress, it will have to be force-finished when you download the Update. You will be reimbursed with Citadel Resources but you will have to start a new settlement. Your meta progress (that is: Experience, Level, completed Deeds, unlocked Upgrades, Citadel Resources, etc.) will remain intact.

In the main menu, under the “Play” button, there’s a countdown to upcoming Updates. Please finish your current settlement before the update day if you don’t want it to be completed automatically.

[h3]Greetings, Viceroys![/h3]
As we hinted in the last update notes, we decided to focus the next phase of the Early Access on the meta layer and World Map in particular. Today’s Experimental Update marks the very first step in that long journey and we hope you’ll keep us company as we stride.

Be advised! As with the Blightrot Revamp back in December, this Experimental is planned to be developed in the span of many weeks and we want to invite you to the development process in its very early stages. We are talking programmer art level of roughness, balance imperfections, and occasional bugs. If this is not something you would enjoy, consider skipping this Experimental Update.

[h2]What’s the problem?[/h2]
In our opinion, the game currently has two large gaping holes:

• a lack of any form of closure (a lack of overarching goals)
  
• an unfinished World Map layer.

As we got the opportunity to prolong the Early Access period, we wanted to tackle both of these holes with a series of smaller but connected overhauls.

We decided to focus on Cycles first, as this is the starting point for any further changes to the meta layer. Their lack of structure, risk, and goals combined with a rather dull system of influence ranking was the main reason why the World Map felt insignificant and starved of meaningful choices.

[h2]Ancient Seals[/h2]
The very first thing you will notice after launching the Experimental Branch is that the World Map is much larger and is filled with 16 special fields, visible above the fog. There are two such fields for each of the 4 basic difficulty levels, and two for Prestige 5, Prestige 10, Prestige 15, and Prestige 20. Each of these fields contains a Seal.

The Seals are surrounded by a Sealed Biome and are available only when a range of conditions are met:

• The Blightstorm is almost there
  
• A sufficient number of Seal Fragments were gathered (explained below)
  
• The Seal is within the reach of your last town

If you meet all of the above conditions, you have one chance to embark on the map with a Seal and try to reforge it (in the current, first implementation, the Sealed Biome is a Cursed Royal Woodlands with a set of special modifiers). Winning that game will grant you regular rewards and a percentage of all meta resources gathered in the current Cycle.

The first condition is quite straightforward - you can only try to reforge a Seal at the very end of the Cycle. If for any reason you can’t or fail while doing it, the chance is lost and you will have to try again at the end of the next Cycle.

The second condition is Seal Fragments. The farther the Seal lies from the Smoldering City, the more damaged it is and more fragments are required to reforge it. Seal Fragments are obtained by winning games and can be picked as one of three rewards for playing near negative modifiers. Any leftovers at the end of the Cycle are bought back by the Crown and converted into meta resources.

The last condition is distance. You must be within the embark range of a Seal to start a game there. This sounds pretty obvious but it is also closely connected to the changes in a Cycle’s structure.


[h2]Cycle Structure[/h2]
From now on, your Viceroy’s party has a physical representation and a location once it leaves the Smoldering City. While you can be resupplied in the Citadel, you can only embark from your current location, and your resources are shared throughout the entire Cycle. That means each cycle is one large expedition, one you must plan carefully if you hope to reach the next Seal and progress the world.

The Cycle’s duration is now counted in settlements. As you start the game, the Cycles are short and you can’t venture far, but each new Seal you reforge will reduce the influence of the Sealed Ones on the surface of the world and will prolong the periods between Blighstorms, allowing you to venture much farther. But beware, the farther you travel from the Smoldering City, the harder the games become.

Embarkation Points are now granted once, at the very beginning of the Cycle, and it’s up to you to ration them throughout your journey. To resupply, you can try to tackle negative modifiers. If you succeed, you can pick one of the three rewards:

• additional Embarkation Points,
  
• a temporary bonus to vision and range,
  
• or a few Seal Fragments.

[h2]Factions & Influence Ranking[/h2]
Now, let’s talk about the Influence Ranking. This mechanic was neither very intuitive nor fun to interact with. While neatly connected to the scoring system on a settlement layer, on a World Map layer it was but a small puzzle with one rather simple solution. Obscure to newcomers and pointless for advanced players, this system was standing out. For these reasons, we decided to completely remove it from the game. That was the easy part.

Unfortunately, without the Influence Ranking, there are very few reasons to keep the Factions in the game. While they ensure trade routes in the early phases of the Cycle and are an important part of the Against the Storm world, we feel any form of direct confrontation with them would require enormous changes (way beyond our scope, most likely). And what’s worse, it would go against the spirit of the game itself.

So while we do still hope that you will get a chance to meet Fendrit the Firestarter and Dorakric Smeltbringer in person, we are yet to find a role the Factions could play in your journey toward the Seals, as they are currently more of a minor annoyance, than anything else. For now, consider this a work in progress, while we keep ruminating.

[h2]Future[/h2]
Our main goal with this experiment is to make sure the direction we picked with a new Cycle structure, Seals, and the final encounter is the correct one. It’s a foundation for a set of other systems and we can only move forwards once it’s solid.

If and when that happens, the next step is rather obvious - a proper Sealed Biome with distinct aesthetics and a set of its own unique mechanics to ensure the Cycle ends with a proper climax. Then, if there is still time, we have two other systems in store that should satisfy both high-prestige players looking for the ultimate challenge and everyone thirsty for lore, characters, and closure. But that is a story for another time.

[h2]How to test it?[/h2]
To play with the new features, you need to switch to the Experimental Branch (click here to learn how to switch to the Experimental Branch).

You can either start from the very beginning or simulate progress with those commands:

• meta.addEarly
  
• meta.addMiddle
  
• meta.addLate
