Patch Notes — Version 0.8.077–0.8.083 (Beta)
Minor Changes
General
Further improved collision avoidance, especially when someone is performing an action and blocking the way, or walking in front while diseased.
Added handcart good transform overrides so that we can fine tune the goods position in the carts and avoid clipping in the future. Experimentally added a small rocking effect when placing down items into carts, too.
Made workers return handcarts to the cart shed when available and when there’s no urgent other task (eg. rallying).
Switched cart loading animation to use the same good visualization that is later used on the carts.
Made it possible for idle foragers to wait inside Forager’s Hut during Spring and Summer instead of going home.
Increased Quarry bounds to fix ground clipping issues when multiple are placed next to each other.
Tuned construction worker behavior to focus more on the building parts that are currently progressing.
Changed Pasture Space to be based on area instead of border length.
Changed menu buttons to act as “not clicked” if released while the cursor was outside button borders.
Added another failsafe for when a wall finishes construction and locks characters inside.
Wild Animal resource nodes will try to move to a forest edge position if no suitable forest position exists.
Added a simple queue system for when multiple workers try to access the same exact task spot, for example when dropping resources.
Minor tweaks for unit formation assignment.
Cosmetics
Replaced the placeholder wallpaper in the main menu with a higher res texture asset.
Added a new “passing through” locomotion animation variation to handcart carriers.
Tuned the fog on High Peaks to fix overly brightly lit background mountains.
Refined edges between the buildings and the ground in a few spots.
UI & Text
Localization updated.
Squad icons move more smoothly when distant character movement is optimized.
Added missing string for log entry “deposit exhausted”. [English]
