Greetings fellow gods,

Smaller update this week as I've been hit by the flu. This update adds a few improvements for starting family relations, allowing us to work in the family buildings without committing crimes and have an easier time finding them.

There are also important fixes dealing with various procgen issues and missing entities that didn't spawn in special locations or in the world.

- Uhorn corpses correctly provide their horns upon scavenging.
- Fixed Huge Slug portrait.

- Added missing special location dialogue option to Reptilion Hunters.
- Fixes +Sight property not transferring from resource to finished item.
- Fixed sight-related properties not refreshing after unequipping.
- Fixed crafting max count for some types of recipes like Gingerbread.


In the background, we've already begun working on another civilization, this time for Boreal Forest, and I've been slowly adding mechanics for the big v0.7 update introducing Adventuring Parties. Hopefully I'll recover soon and can pick up the normal pace.

Have fun, and see you next week,
Artur

Quick hotfix to address crashes related to the orc, gnoll, and goblin locations and added a training option to unoccupied Reptilions.

Greetings fellow gods,

A few more fixes today to address the new issues reported on Discord.

[h3]Fixed[/h3]
- Mods were causing names to clear out, resulting in a lack of names for NPCs.
- Fixed issue with ordering items that would not correctly add proper resources or incorrectly affect the price of crafted items.
- Higher-tier amulets have more magic ingredient slots.
- Onion Seeds are stackable.

Unfortunately, if someone created a new world with any mods and doesn't see the names of NPCs, the only way to fix that is to regenerate the world. Very sorry for the inconvenience.
