SAELIG News

Greetings!

I hope you are all doing well on this fine day.

I've been a bit busy and unwell as of recent, but I have managed to add enough small things and do enough small tweaks to warrant an update!

BUG FIXES

• Fixed it so that the Metal Armour and Meat Pie skills has the correct classifications.
  
• Fixed an issue where multiple learning halls or pits could be built in a single town by someone who did not live in that town.
  
• Fixed a bug where in some cases woman would become Monks.
  
• Fixed bug where in some cases player could not claim free plots.
  
• Fixed some bugs with some specific plots of land.
  
• Fixed the Landlord start not working correctly.
  
• Fixed a bug where entering a building in FP mode would not work.
  
• Fixed crash related to a specific type of social interaction between two people.
  
• Fixed a crash related to combat.
  
• Fixed a bug that created an exploit that would allow workers to go to work outside of work hours.
  
• Fixed a bug where fishing boats could not be built via automation.
  
• Fixed a bug where sometimes the game would not be paused after loading.
  
• Fixed a bug that would cause the Trading task at the Trading Post to reset.
  
• Fixed a bug where if you loaded a character in for New Game +, the heritage would not come across.
  
• Fixed a bug where you were unable to interact with some buildings when a nearby building was on fire.
  
• Fixed a very specific bug where if you married your tenant, your active home would be reset.
  
• Fixed a bug where automation was producing items not on your priority list.
  
• Fixed a bug where automation would stop completely after running out of goods, even though there were enough goods to make something else.
  
• Fixed a bug where productions would not resume in some cases when loading a game.
  
• Fixed a logic flaw that would allow children to be set as outlaws.
  
• Fixed an issue with an achievement not unlocking.
  
• Fixed an issue where you would not get the elder tribute every night following election.
  

TWEAKS

• Kids will no longer get arrested and set to the pit for punching each other.
  
• Added more birds to maps.
  
• When renting a house that is for sale, it will now be removed from sale so it isn't sold to someone else while you live there.
  
• Increased starting storage of the Homestead.
  
• Unhirable people will now show their skills in the hiring menu.
  
• When you get a notification telling you that an employee is unwell, the 'show me' button will now jump to the workplace rather than the character.
  
• When hovering over items being currently produced the tooltip will now show the skill level of the worker.
  
• You can now abandon plots that you don't want if the town isn't big enough to buy it from you.
  
• Storefronts will now stack items better.
  
• Some UI tweaks.
  
• Character creation tweaks.
  
• AI criminals will now no longer break into buildings between midnight and 4am.
  
• Viking raider spawns are now staggered to try and prevent stuttering on some computers when they spawn.
  
• Tweaks to how some illnesses are passed on to other people.
  
• Tweaks to the chances related to waylaying carts.
  
• As the Town-Reeve you will now be notified when someone nearby is witnessed breaking the law. But only if you're within a certain range.
  
• When selecting 'show me' on a notification about a character said character will now become selected.
  
• Tweaks to crime prosecution if you are a Watchman or Town-Reeve.
  

SLIGHTLY MORE EXCITING THINGS

• As the Town-Reeve you can now release people from The Pit.
  
• If your character is standing inside their home and they start getting tired they will now go lay down.
  
• Added Cheese which is produced at the Corral.
  
• Added new winter themed production events for some buildings.
  
• Added Poison and Purple Berries. Purple Berries can be collected from your garden and then combined with honey at your fireplace to produce Poison.
  
• Poison can be applied to any food and then anyone who eats that food will get an awful case of the deads. Technically you could host a feast with nothing but poisoned food and take out half the town. Fatality rate isn't 100%, but it's certainly close.
  

I finally feel like my todo list is shrinking, which is a nice. Definitely still have a bunch of stuff I want to do, but recently I have been checking off quite a few items.

Cheers,
Atorcoppe.

Me again!

• Corrected performance issues when using the hiring menu.
  
• Fixed a slight issue when loading in a game where a horse merchant is present.
  
• Fixed one particular small plot on the Wiltunscir map being too low, so any buildings on that plot didn’t allow correct navigation.
  
• Reduced the chances of character portraits overlapping when opening something like the hire menu for the first time while there are lots of unemployed people huddled in the bunkhouse.
  
• Added wiki entries for Homestead, Longhouse, and Landlord.
  

If you are experiencing crashes and have some spare time I'd love to try and sort it out with you. I haven't had much luck at all reproducing crashes on my end, so I want to gather as much information as possible to try and find a pattern or a common cause. So please feel free to email me at [email protected] with your computer details and we can discuss some troubleshooting options.

Cheers,
Atorcoppe.

Hey folks!

Just a little update.

• Portrait tweaks to avoid them turning blank.
  
• Updated the elder vote window.
  
• Tweaks to navigation.
  
• Slight change to immigration - now the chance of an immigrant being a Geneat is reduced if the town doesn't have an Alehouse. This will help increase the number of poor people that turn up early on.
  
• No more injuries when chopping wood. Instead added a chance to fail at getting any wood.
  
• Fixed some slight issues with game speed.
  
• Fixed an issue with one particular plot of land that when built on wouldn't allow you to navigate into the building.
  
• Fixed an issue where the player's animations would reset when looking at the info window.
  
• Increased the skill learning rate for skinning and butchering wild animals. (Today I discovered there is a subreddit for SAELIG, and very slow progression on this particular skill was a topic).
  
• Fixed an issue where if you viewed the inside of a building just after loading a game the interior would vanish.
  
• Tweaked some button layouts.
  

Cheers,
Atorcoppe.
