Hi all,

You may also notice a few other bits here and there that are not listed. I was planning on including some other new buildings in this update, but those will come in the next one.

Happy holidays!

Hey all,

You will notice a new update come through. Not much to report for this one sorry, it's just mainly focusing on stability and squashing a few crashes.

I'm not saying all the crashes have been squashed, but ones I have reproduced have been smacked around with a large hammer.

You may notice a few other small tweaks as well, but nothing major.


The next major update will include an all new forge as well as affairs and a few other goodies.

Cheers,
Stardog.
