Alpha 5 patch 9 hotfix 54

Ostriv · published 5 months ago · build 22582920

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

This last couple of weeks was mostly spent on Alpha 6 stuff, so the current update is not huge. The plan is to support much more freedom in shapes for farm fields, orchards, hopyards, pavement areas and village house yards.

Since the current system only supports convex shapes with 4 corners, some substantial refactorings were required so as the new functionality wouldn't have negative impact on performance. A route for ploughing fields, for example, was much simpler until now. The new system will try to cover the most area while minimizing the ploughing time, no matter what crazy shape you throw on it.

There was also some progress on the new starting options system. Here's a small peek on some of it:

Meanwhile, here's what we have now:

Added/changed:

  • Can now copy trees with eyedropper tool
  • Optimized construction flags rendering, improved their visibility

Fixed:

  • Flipped buildings didn't have pavement around them
  • It was possible to block water platform entrance

Another feature I have been teasing for many years now and it is finally taking shape: Before starting construction, you will be able to customize the building's appearance.…In-game event13 Jul 2026Alpha 5 patch 9 hotfix 59Most of the time was spent on Alpha 6 this time, so this update is not a big one. A couple more buildings have crept into the list of upcoming buildings. Religion is going to be a bit more than just a way to cross a population threshold. Finally you will be a real Ukrainian mayor who can't help but build lots of churches. As of now there's 24 new buildings confirmed for Alpha 6 and 4 more being…In-game event4 Jun 2026Alpha 5 patch 9 hotfix 58This update introduces a new little building which may become useful in later game. Let me know what you think about this kind of specialized market stalls when you try it. Added/changed: · Minor UI improvements · New building: Firewood stall · Added a few more personal log entry types · Local market info overlay now excludes reserved resources (more informative this way) Fixed: · Some textures…
