In the following days I'll be adding more recipes and a few stone-based items. Changes: - Fixed some issues with selecting trees to chop up a hill not working correctly. - Added stonemason and sculpture studio. - At the sculpture studio dwarves can make statues of…

HighDPI should work (tested on MacOS, Wayland and Windows). With a bit of luck steam deck will work too :).

This is still being worked on, but so far we have: - Adjusted recipe for CrudeWorkbench, Woodsmith, SawMill. - Added items: Workbench Table, SawBlade There will be more to come here as I…

Alpha 0.2.0 - Dwarves can bite

I've been away for a week with my actual job so this update is a small one. It brings the combat log, some goodies in fights as well as some enhancements to tasks. Added · Dwarves can bite (and so do cats, dogs). Desperate times call for desperate measures in a fight! · Added a combat log so you can see who does damage to what.

You'll see a strange wood structure. Nothing happens around it for a while until elves start spawning. Elves are tiny thieves. They don't fight you but steal gold, iron, food and many other things. Once they are done stealing they will run towards their port. Other changes · With elves comes the coward trait.

Alpha 0.1.8 - Windmills and flour

I have added windmills to the game. For now, they are used to craft flour from grains that are harvested on fields. Flour can then be used to bake bread. Bread, as we all know is also the main ingredient of a dwarven cake. Has to be done in strawberry season! Fields also now can give more seeds back so you can continue growing them past the first crop. This is also the first update which has an…

Alpha 0.1.7 - Dwarves fainting and seasonal graphics

Dwarves can now build hay beds to sleep on. They are available early in the game and while a hay bed won't give the same comfort as a proper dwarven bed, they allow dowarves to recover more energy (and faster) than just fainting out of exhaustion and sleeping on the ground. Be careful if you're constructing beds out in the open if your dwarves are allergic to water! As you can see through the i…

Fix: - Fixed as allowed worker offsets not being saved & loaded anymore since `Alpha 0.1.6`. This would mean tasks after load wouldn't get completed since dwarves didn't know where to sit to finish a crafting task. From here on, this should patch even saves that were buggy some values.
