Havendock News

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to clone yourself so you can sit back and relax while clones do your chores and laundry for you? Well, there's no laundry in Havendock, but I wanted to test something a little unique here so I added something called Clone Potions.



It started as a little experiment and there was quite some work to turn yourself into a settler because the player character isn't actually a settler, but I think I got parts of it working! It's still early but I think it would be cool to let you guys try it out to see what your thoughts are and how it works!

Let's hope they don't develop a hive mind and takeover the settlement though, heh! (Clones aren't properly tested on islands yet)

Update notes:
- Enchanted Witch trader now sells experimental Clone Potions
- Dance Floor is now affected by 'music' instead of 'sound' volume setting
- Attempted to improve certain texts' readability
- Add warning when UI scale is set to above 100%

Fixes:
- Fixed issue where settlers don't take food/drinks from the 2nd/3rd/4th slot of a storage box if the first slot has 0 food
- Fixed bug where the settlers overview panel could be shown at 0 settlers
- Fixed bug where both wikia and guidebook were overlapping and shown when opened
- Translated some un-translated texts
- Fixed error on thai when selecting a piped building
- Fixed clones showing up in characters panel and negative human count when clones expire
- Fixed character disappearing when changing gender in character selection

v0.66.19:
Multiplayer:
- Added experimental self hosted option for multiplayer

v0.66.18:
Game changes:
- Added new 'UI Scale' setting option
- Build distance is now increased by the Long Reach research at half effectiveness
- The first 50 dives will have a 0% injury chance to prevent RNG giving you a bad start
- Prevent showing other island building unlocked notification after researching boatyard
- Pipe-up arrow icon tooltip now indicates what building(s) it is receiving inputs from

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed pollution still increasing even when disabled in World Settings
- Fixed a possible issue with pipes not delivering to storage boxes
- Fixed issue where kicking a character opens the characters panel for the first time
- Fixed bug where duration to level up traits were faster than intended
(meant to be 0.5x in the previous patch but it became 0.25x)
- Fixed 'Shortcut key: 10' text. There is no such button on the common keyboard sadly.
- Storage boxes no longer show 'activated' and 'refill optional input' toggles as they don't do anything

Pipes have been added to improve early game automation!


Based on your feedback, I decided to test out the concept of pipes and let you all try it. I'm still working on improving the game in general and I hope this will make early game a little more fun. I've also added it for a late game building too so it can also improve automation to benefit later players.
