This update is built around one idea - giving the player more information about the realm, more options and features without breaking the flow of the experience.
The Realm Sustainability button has been replaced by a new side panel with three dedicated buttons. Each one opens a focused view of the realm without leaving the game. Let's take a look at each of the three new buttons: 1. REALM INFO is the place where you can visualize workers and population details, production output speed and stations integrity, all under a centralized place. Here are the tabs you will find under Realm Info button:
Assigned Workers
This tab displays Housing Capacity, Available Workers and Assigned Workers at a glance, with each station listed showing its current worker assignment across the entire realm. Production Speed
Under this tab each station is displayed with its output progress bar and remaining seconds until the next production tick. Know what is producing, and how fast, without clicking through every structure. Decay Mitigation
In this tab you can monitor each station's current Integrity and Decay Rate in a single view. Completing the Decay Mitigation objective for the Realm Sustainability got easier to follow.
2. STATUS
Here is where the Realm Sustainability tracking panel lives and can be accessed now.
The Status button opens the Realm Sustainability panel, tracking all conditions towards self-sustainability objectives in real time. 3. CODEX
Whether you have questions or just curious about how everything works in a more detailed fashion, the Codex is more accessible now. Codex button opens the Codex directly from the game UI and pauses the game so anyone can take their time to read those tricky mechanics. When done reading, just close and continue the game.
Codex can still be found in Pause Menu or Main menu under Options tab, where it was originally found before.
Right mouse button click and drag now moves the realm. Many have asked for this in different ways and it is now in the game. The speed and area covered by the movement is determined by how fast or slow the drag is made. Short click - drag - release or Long press and drag, it is up to your needs.
The Right Mouse Click is remappable under Options - Controls. This new movement option comes with a new onboarding notify that appears at the start of each new game presenting all movement options: A and D keys, Shift for faster movement, and the new right mouse drag. The notify is visible only if in-game notifies are enabled (Options - MISC - Enable Hints).
- The realm now starts at dawn. The first light of a new run is no longer midnight.
- The Trader carries more resources from day one. Treat it nicely :)
- Each station now displays a production progress bar and remaining tick time directly in the station panel.
- Localization updated for all new strings.
- UI fixes and overall logic improvements across the game.
The realm has always had the answers. Now they are easier to find. May your realms stay thriving and your mind stay sharp.
