Update #4 - Faster Frames, Fairer Gold, and Smarter Helpers
This patch is a bit bigger than the last ones, I'm slowly starting to address biggest critiques of the game :) For now, trade routes have been rebalanced a bit so they are not so overwhelming, iron production from caves is increased because there are no limits on rest areas, performance in late game has been improved and some annoying bugs have been fixed :) Here is the detailed breakdown
- Trade routes rebalancing
- Removed limit for rest areas in forest and caves which means higher possible productivity there
- Big optimizations for late game to improve FPS in case when there are many chests, many racks and many assistants restocking racks
- Improved logic for finding best cave elevator
- Rebalanced some item prices to make clay less valuable and gold more valuable
- Fixed clicking info button for gem storage in build mode
- Fixed sorting assistants who restock resources
- Fixed problem with resource storage getting magically restocked when assistants give up on their job
If you're having fun with Blacksmith Master, consider leaving a Steam review :) It really helps show what's working and makes it easier to spot things that need improving. I read them all, and they help a lot with planning what to do next!
