DLC-release on Friday and a patch coming up! (Please read!)
Hello again! As some of you might have noticed the DLC will be released on Friday. Jolly good times! I really hope you will enjoy it.
The DLC has some new features which are being beta tested right now. So far they seem to working just fine. (And these will of course be added to the original game when the DLC is released, or a little earlier.)
* Auto saving. The game automatically saves every day at 5 in the morning.
This save can't be overwritten be accident. People have asked for this and I have done me best to listen.
* Autowork! I've managed to make at least a half-decent version to minimize micro managing. Workers can now search for similar work horisontally and nearby. If an iron ore deposit (for example) is depleted, the miner will check after iron ore nearby and auto-target and start mining it. Will work for building and clearing rubble as well.
* Toggle Rain ON/OFF. In game raining has been known to cause performance drops for some people so there is now an option to completely turn off rain.
* Single workers can be killed with Delete.
* Finding groups with CTRL + Number, won't always center your screen on those units. It will if you already have other units select, meaning you can double tap relevant number and zoom, or just press once to only-select.
* You can find idle workers with F also.
Some of these are minor addition, but I still thought they were worth mentioning. They will all be added to the original game in the next patch, which will be released on friday, or maybe earlier. The autowork-function I believe will be very handy in the original game.
The patch (for the original game) will mess up your old saves. So, once again, many apologies! However, I really think it will be worth it, since it will fix many bugs and improve the gameplay.
Best wishes//Mattias
PS: The DLC will also be difficult. You have been warned.
