Having a waterfront or something else blocking both long sides would be an interesting map :D

Ah yes! If you picked a tile with two ocean neighbors, you could probably find that.

The next update lets players choose map sizes. I kind of like the ultra wide, thin map. What do you guys think? What size would you play? My guess is that most folks will go with 256x256x64.

The new dimension options are:
X: 16, 32, 64, 128, 256
Y: 16, 32, 64, 128, 256
z: 16, 32, 64

Great stuff! I've thought of adding an insectoid race myself, but haven't put anything to paper because I still have to add the other races first. I like the idea of having a queen and your idea of moving into previously settled tiles is interesting! I'll keep this stuff in mind for when I'm able to focus on adding more races.

Thanks for writing this up. :)

I've changed how they work for the next update so that they don't build up like that anymore. Sorry for the inconvenience!

There's a little house icon/button on the top left corner. This lets you select animal and settler population max.

Edit: Unfortunately, there's no way to auto butcher but it is planned.

Don't mind the naysayers. Sounds like some great improvements you have coming. Looking forward to trying them out.

Thank you. People like you keep me going :)

Also, any entities that have been given a 'Hold Position' command, will never leave the designated point.

Is that new / fixed behavior? Because I thought I had an archer sitting on a wall on hold before, which made him wait there, but as soon as the enemy was in range he took one shot before he jumped down the wall to get close to the enemy.

The live version of the game has some terrible bugs. My guess is that you encountered one of them. That sort of thing doesn't happen in this next update.

I'm honest here! Am gamedev myself (even though I haven't released a "good" game yet) and I know how tough it can be :D

But another question: Do the workrooms still exist in this update? I mean those rooms which need certain structures in them. I am somewhat confused with the new room templates, or at least how you described them.

Essentially, they work the same. You'll still need to provide specific props for them to be used. The difference is that you're providing the props for the 'function' of the room.

Before: Workshop Room [Needs props xyz]

Now: Workshop Room - Wood Mill Function [Needs props xyz] and Fireplace Function [Needs props xyz]

The workshop is now just a default template which groups together the wood mill and fireplace for ease of use and progression. Another example is the forge template with its foundry and smithy functions.

There are about 25 functions for players to mix and match. You could just create one big room with them all if that was your wish.

So if a wall would be too high to climb, there would be no arrow? What's the actual height for that?
Can we expect the AI to not jump down castle walls or towers and instead shoot arrows from there too?

If you had a wall two blocks high, the entities wouldn't be able to climb it.

The AI will only try to get to the enemy if they are out of range for attacks. So, Archers will hang out on the top of the wall as long as they are in range to their target. Also, any entities that have been given a 'Hold Position' command, will never leave the designated point.
