Hey there,
the Monthly Summary for December is here!
Because of Christmas, Holidays etc. December wasn't as productive as other months, but still I got some stuff done:
TFE Development Summary - December 2025
Character Related

🛠️ Timeout for path avoidance revamped
🛠️ Carriers walk away from spawnpoint after spawn
🛠️ Carriers make space after they finished task like e.g. delivering a good
🛠️ Settlers get pushed to building boundary after construction site was finished if needed
Building Preview
🎨 Terrain Hilliness preview is now more robust
🎨 Blocking actors are now drawing a blocked area onto the landscape, so the player can quickly spot where buildings can be placed (this can be water bodies, harvestables, static environment objects, etc.) <- this was more work than it should be 🥵)
🎨 Preview of blocked areas is now also context aware, e.g. the ocean is visualized as non blocking for a harbor but shows as blocking for other buildings
More Stuff
🛠️ A couple of fixes in the music subsystem
🛠️ Fixed a couple of bugs across the board
🛠️ Ship arrival at harbor check is now fps independent
🛠️ Ongoing performance improvements
🎨 Fix ocean foam flickering

See you next time!
Best,
Sebastian 🙂
