Be Careful with Training Dummies [Beta Branch]

Comment
    Sleipnir on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Yes! I'm trying to come up with a better way of managing this. It is intentional for them to be easy to destroy so that there is some way for you to pay for the experience gained. Otherwise, it's just free levels and that's less of a challenge in my opinion. ;)

Holiday Break

Post
Hey everyone!

This is a brief post to let you know that I won't be as active on the forum/discord or uploading any updates until the new year. I'll be away visiting family and I need to take a little break from development. I WAS going to move the beta changes to production before heading off on vacation, but it doesn't seem wise to do so as I won't be available to fix things while away. Plus, there are some performance issues in the beta that shouldn't make it into the production version and I want to fix those when I return.

Lastly, I wanted to wish you all a happy holiday and new year if you're celebrating that. Thank you for such a great year. It truly has been an honor to work on the game with this community. :)

All the best,

Waylon

0.8.24.1 Beta - Hotfixes

Post
Hello!

Real quick update to inform you all that I've uploaded a small build with fixes for the following:
-Ore not showing up on the mining overlay.
-Ore being visible when it hadn't been uncovered yet. Unfortunately, already visible ore will still be visible on saves pre-0.8.24.1 as they get saved as visible. Post-0.8.24.1 saves should be good to go.
-Incorrect item text showing when items were reserved via the inventory panel.
-Weeds will now have 'time to mature' displayed on tooltips.
-Changed shift increment to ctrl (plus added a special hotkey option in settings so you can change it yourself) in order to avoid overlays being hidden when trying to increment items by 5.
-Removed some debug logs which would occasionally drop framerate.

Thanks!

0.8.24.0 Beta - Ancient Additions

Post
Hey friends!

This week's build, 0.8.24.0, is live on the beta branch. I'm hoping to move this update onto the production branch as early as tomorrow. This will depend on whether or not the build has any major bugs. If it does, I probably won't be able to get the update to production until after xmas as I will be away visiting family. Here's hoping this one is good to go. :)

This update fixes a large amount of bugs and adds some fun things to our good ol' Ancient friends. Namely, the Aeternum which is a new headgear item for them to wear which provides energy and magic skill boosts. There are seven for you to make. Four of which require newly added gems which can be found deep underground.

As well, I've added some voices and new portraits for them to slowly bring them up to the same level as Humans in terms of content. Oh, and I also added in three events for 'Unworthy' Ancients to appear and ask to join you. This is similar to the Human settler wave event. He... Read more

Friday Update

Post
Hey all!

I'm running behind on today's update so I'm going to push it out until Sunday or maybe just hold onto it for another week. I'm currently in the process of adding some new things and they're taking a bit longer than usual. Plus, a few people have brought up bugs that I still haven't been able to look at and I wanted to get fixes for them into this build.

Here's a brief on some new things that I've added to the next update:
-4 new 'lodes' which can be mined for: Amber Opals, Sunrise Opals, Forest Emeralds, and Seabreeze Sapphires. These are found pretty far under ground.
-7 new 'Aeternum' items. Aeternums are a headband item that Ancients use to increase their energy as well as improve their magic skills. The new gems will be used as regents for the making of these. Ancients will start with the Fledgling Aeternum which is the second worst one. In lore, Aeternums were only given to Ancients that were permitted to perform the passage of immortality. Ther...

[BUG] Containers not being filled if inside of room.

Comment
    Sleipnir on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Is it the Tavern or Animal Enclosure by chance? Those rooms have some janky code that auto creates zones based on selected items from the room edit window. It could be overwriting your selection. I plan on changing or removing this feature all-together as it's super annoying.

No clue. Haha. Ideally, end of next year but I'm in no rush. I'm having fun working on it and it makes enough for me to live off of.

What do trap doors and spikes do?

Comment
    Sleipnir on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Entities will avoid spikes up to a point (HA) but if they cannot find a better path, they will walk over them. Your settlers won't take damage but baddies will. So, it's best to put spikes at choke points you know the bad guys have to go through. Or you can build a pit with spikes in it and then have trap doors that lead into it. This will drop baddies into it where they will die from being impaled or starve to death if they can't escape but survive the fall. And, yes, you may see a zig-zag movement if you put spikes in a checker pattern.

What do trap doors and spikes do?

Comment

Spikes - Damage any hostile entity that enters them.
Trap Doors - Drop entities on the first walkable (including spikes) block below.

Also, heads up, version 0.8.23.0 has some fixes for these two props as they weren't working 100% before.

0.8.23.0 Beta - QoL/UI Update

Post
Friends! Hello!

Just uploaded this week's update, 0.8.23.0. This one has quite a few changes/additions to screens. Ok, I know I really need to add some more content to the game but I HAD to fix up some UI as it was buggin' the heck out of me.

Here are the main changes:
Entity screen - This one didn't need to be updated necessarily but I figured why not as I was already working on UI. I've rearranged a lot of the elements to be more compartmentalized and clearer than before.




Workstations screen - Now fits on a 1200x800 (the min spec supported) display! You'll also notice you can prioritize tasks here. Improved layout and such as well.

Children not getting a profession when becoming Adult

Comment

Keep in mind that children cannot have their profession assigned until they become adults.

As for getting into the beta, make sure you are in online mode of Steam. It won't let you enter the beta unless you are.

Ancients Combat tips?

Comment
    Sleipnir on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Ah! Interesting bug. The number of tombs is random per map.

A few questions?

Comment
    Sleipnir on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Hello!
-You can make a settler ONLY do fishing as long as there is a fish jobs placed and every other skill is disabled. You can enable/disable skills from the entity overlay (T) or the settlers overlay (L).
-You have enough coal to purify the water? Someone owns the room also?
-Don't worry about the farm quality. It's not fully implemented yet.
-You cannot explore outside your region yet!

Ancients Combat tips?

Comment

Leveling up your summoner. Their level will also increase the starting level for summons. This is helpful for increasing their work efficiency as well. Also, keep in mind the VW and VI are not really combat summons. Later down the road I'll be adding more powerful summons for combat, but your Ancients are the real fighters. You can train them at the Barracks to increase their magic fighting skills.

Children not getting a profession when becoming Adult

Comment

There's a bug in the current production version where you can only assign from the settlers screen (L) but not the entity screen (E when a settler is selected). Or maybe the other way around. One of the two lets you. :S Or you can update to the beta build which has a fix in.

'v', then right-click to issue a hold position order at the point you click. There is one guaranteed settler wave and potentially more if you settle closer to Human settlements.
