Sleipnir

Hi!

I've just uploaded today's new update featuring some cool critters. The build also contains a ton of extra items in addition to a handy entity highlighting tool which outlines all entities and shows their profession icon above them.

Entities should now appear on the map every few days whereas before you'd only get a few early on in the game. Keep in mind they will also leave after a certain amount of time if you don't tame them.

Speaking of taming, you can now tame every animal in the game and all entities can now fight. Want a Crab army? Sounds good to me. Want Rats to be your legion? Rad.

Here are some quick notes on the behaviours/benefits of the five new animals:
Dogs - Will seek out stealthed baddies in your settlement.
Sheep - Produce Wool daily.
Rats - If not tamed, will eat food and seeds in the settlement.
Snoots - Haven't given them anything special yet, but they will apply a poison once I add alchemy as a profession.

Hello! Happy Friday.

Just a quick announcement that I've moved the changes from the beta branch to production. Again, this update is not backwards compatible. Apologies for that! Working on mitigating the amount of times I have to push a non-backwards compatible build out.

The changes for this new build include:

Hey everyone!

This is a quick announcement that I've uploaded version 0.8.19.1 to the beta branch which fixes a few bugs that have been found from last week's update.

Note: This update has not been uploaded for OSX users yet. Apple has a new notarizing process that I'm currently figuring out. Hopefully this won't permanently slow down OSX builds but this is my first experience with this added step. Will try to upload that build as soon as I can.

Here are the notes:
-Fixed a bug where the loom, spinning wheel, and tanning rack could be rotated.
-Fixed a bug where props weren't being tagged properly. This caused certain scenarios to not replace names in dialogue.
-Only archers and warriors will train at the barracks now.
-Fixed a bug where destroyed training dummies weren't rebuilt.
-Fixed a bug where tiles were appearing as not visible black squares.
-Fixed a bug where the stone carpenter's table wasn't working as a requirement for the ... Read more

Hello fam!

I've uploaded the latest beta build which has a bunch of cool new additions. Sadly, I goofed and made a coding mistake which makes it so this build isn't backwards compatible AGAIN. Ugh. Apologies. I know losing your settlements sucks. Next time I'll be more careful about backwards compatibility.

As for what's new, I've added Tailoring and Leathworking as professions/skills. And you can also now build the Clothier and Tannery rooms which open up some jobs related to those. As well, you can now butcher animals using the Survival skill. This will collect meat, bone, and hide (if the animal has a hide) from the corpses of entities. I'm going to work on migrating animal herds for the next patch to help make butchering/leatherworking more of a viable resource.

Also, I've added in a new function to the build/plant menus which lets you filter blueprints by name/room. To use it, hold SHIFT and type out either the name of the blueprint you'd like to see or ... Read more
